2 Written Assessment
This is team work assignment. As a nursing student, you will frequently participate in team work. Team work aims to assist in the development of appropriate knowledge and skills to effectively work within a team. Teamwork is integral to all clinical environments and outward-bound nursing experiences. Teamwork is effective when fluid communication, collaboration and commitment to achieve best outcomes occurs.
Assessment 2 provides you the opportunity to develop and apply effective teamwork skills. The assignment aims to assist you to understand and acknowledge the challenges that teamwork may generate and to identify the necessary skills to manage the encountered challenges.
For this assignment, you will need to work in teams of four. If you have not formed a team by week 6, contact the unit coordinator who will allocate you into a team.
Background
Your assessment relates to the rights of all individuals to access adequate health care. Lower availability of services is a recognised health risk factor and a determinant of poorer health. Affordable and timely access to health services can prevent illness and can cure, stop or slow the development of, or make more bearable, illnesses or chronic conditions.
The task
As nursing students, you will provide primary health care assessments in a variety of settings. To understand the challenges of accessing healthcare you are to work as a team of four to prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an audio component. Each of you will be responsible for individual components of the presentation:
Student 1- you are responsible for
1. Discusses the population distribution in Australia including main ethnic groups, culture and religions. Identify an ethnic minority or disadvantaged group in this country that will have poorer health outcomes.
2. Describe the health care system in Australia (e.g. private, public, mixed etc.) including Australia’s total expenditure on health per capita and any differences in health expenditure between urban areas of Australia and regional and remote areas of Australia
Student 2 – you are responsible for
1. Discuss the main health issues experienced by children, women and men in your urban areas within Australia, explaining the causes of these conditions.
2. Describes these issues as experienced by children, women and men within regional and remote areas of Australia.
Student 3 – you are responsible for
1. Describe barriers to accessing healthcare within regional and remote areas of Australia.
2. Discuss how these barriers may influence health education delivery to individuals and cultural groups in regional and remote areas of Australia
Student 4- you are responsible for
1. Describe two programs OR strategies to improve access to healthcare within regional and remote areas of Australia.
2. Discuss how these two programs OR strategies could improve health care access
in regional and remote areas of Australia.
The total presentation must be a minimum of 12 minutes in duration and should not exceed 15minutes. Each team member’s audio presentation must be a minimum of 3 minutes duration. An easy guide for the team to achieve this would be to include 4-6 slides per student with an accompanying audio presentation.
· The first slide of your PowerPoint presentation must contain the title of your presentation and each team member’s name.
· A reference list must be included on the last slide/s of your PowerPoint presentation. Any photos, maps, graphs and/or written information used in the PowerPoint must be referenced according to APA 6th or 7th style.
· At least 24 (6 per student) recent, credible and relevant sources are to be used for the presentation (references for photographs/diagrams do not count as part of the 24).
· Peer reviewed literature or reliable government sites no older than 5 years may be used as references. You may also use credible sites such as WHO. Textbooks less than 10 years old may also be used.
Individually, you are also required to:
· Submit a draft (written copy) of your section of the audio presentation (references are not required in the written audio draft).
· Complete the self and peer evaluation/reflection.
Assessments will be returned to students three weeks after the due date
