a. My assigned social determinant is economic stability. Economic stability refers to the financial security and access to resources that are necessary to maintain a basic standard of living. It includes factors such as income, employment, and access to financial services. Economic stability impacts healthcare outcomes because it affects an individual’s ability to afford and access healthcare services. For example, individuals with low income or who are unemployed may have difficulty paying for necessary healthcare services, leading to delays in care or untreated conditions.
b. One objective related to economic stability from the Healthy People website is to “increase the proportion of adults who are employed or seeking employment.” The status of this objective is “improvement needed,” and it applies to the general population.
c. Some appropriate questions that an NP could incorporate into the health history and interview to assess the client and family’s economic stability include:
Are you currently employed? If not, are you seeking employment?
What is your primary source of income?
Do you have any financial resources or support available to help pay for healthcare expenses?
d. Two online resources that could help meet the chosen objective for at-risk clients or families include:
The National Health Service Corps offers financial Helpance to primary care providers in exchange for a commitment to work in underserved areas. This could be a useful resource for individuals seeking employment in the healthcare field.
The United Way offers a variety of resources for individuals and families in need, including financial Helpance and job search support. These resources could be helpful for individuals who are struggling with economic stability.
a. According to a study by Osganian et al. (2003), “low income has been consistently associated with poor access to healthcare and worse health outcomes.” This demonstrates the importance of addressing economic stability in order to improve healthcare outcomes.
b. Interventions that aim to increase economic stability, such as job training programs or financial education, have been shown to be effective in improving healthcare outcomes. For example, a study by Shete et al. (2017) found that participation in a job training program was associated with improved self-rated health and mental health among low-income individuals.
