Critically examine the impact of one determinant of health on the given scenario from your field of nursing practice.
We will be talking about (Age) as a determinant of health and relating it to the case study therefore the essay must be related to the case study when the discussion is done.
Your assignment will focus on one determinant of health and will critically explore this determinant in terms of the individual, as well as the wider socio-political and economic context. Current evidence and policies in relation to the social determinant and its potential impact or relationship to the individual in the case study should be utilised to support this work.
Additional guidance
In examining and selecting one determinant of health you may consider any of the following: the individual, their biopsychosocial factors and any associated lifestyle factors, the broader community provision and social networks surrounding that individual; their living and working conditions and the wider socio-political, economic and cultural contexts.
The current context of health and healthcare provision in the United Kingdom and how this might impact on the individual should also be considered.
Critique evidence from a range of sources for example, NICE, the Department of Health, Public Health England, the Kingâs Fund, World Health Organisation and other peer reviewed sources and publications.
Demonstrate use of empirical research literature that informs your understanding and analysis of the context of this determinant of health
