Mix of interventions to improve national
health goals
Mix of interventions to improve national health goals
Chronic diseases such as “coronary heart disease, cancer,
diabetes, and asthma are the nation’s leading cause of illness and
death” (Jonas & Kovner, 2015, p. 120). These diseases pose serious
burdens on the health systems and on society. Changing these
figures will require that we engage patients, families,
communities, and providers in order to impact behavior and
health. According to Jonas & Kovner (2015) changing healthrelated behavior and provider-related behavior represents a prime
target for improving national health goals and healthcare” (p. 142).
Nursing needs to be engaged in helping to reduce the incidence
of chronic diseases and illnesses.
If you were designing a mix of interventions to improve national
health goals, what one behavior-related intervention and one
provider-related intervention (described in the text-book) would
you choose and explain your rationale(s) for choosing each.
Describe what the impact or outcome of these interventions
would be.
