Week 8: Current Issues/Trends PowerPoint Presentation: “Nursing during an epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster across the country or around the globe…

PPT topic: 

“Nursing during an epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster across the country or around the globe”

-I have attached a PPT I started and that can be used to continue 

-attached the instructions as well

The reason why the topic was chosen:

The topic I have chosen to research and explore for the class  presentation is “Nursing during an epidemic, pandemic, or natural  disaster across the country or around the globe”. I felt this was the  perfect topic to further dissect given that the field of nursing was  just recently hit and is still suffering from a global pandemic. Nursing  and the healthcare field as a whole suffered in ways the public has not  been made aware of. The pandemic brought with it both positive and  negative affects to our field of work. Which is why I have chosen this  topic in order to come up with a plan to promote a positive change.  

Bringing awareness to these issues/changes will involve the need for  participation in our local government to fund and support this nursing  issue. Solving the trends/issues the pandemic has brought will alleviate  the impact it has had on various workplaces. The solutions will be  integrated/implemented with the hopes of having a positive affect within  clinical settings. This topic is currently relevant which is why as a  community we should come together to shed light and bring awareness to  its importance. A few things the pandemic has caused is:

-affects on the psychological well-being of nurses

-increased stress

-decreased work flow frequency

-decreased work satisfaction

etc. (Bartzik, Aust, & Peifer, 2021).

Nurse are the healthcare fields front line workers, one of the most  essential positions when our world is faced with a (pandemic, epidemic,  or natural disaster).
