Assignment: Burden of Disease

For this assessment you will need to choose an illness or health need for which there is an increasing burden of disease when compared to several generations ago (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, chronic pain, cancer).
Explore the nature and extent of the health need’s impact upon the Australian health care system, health economy and nursing (has this lead to specialist nurses? Or a new type of nurse? Has the nursing role changed in this area over the last 100 years?). Consider changes to health care delivery or health care policy which have met the impact of the increasing need, and the influence this has had on society.
Examine the role of nurses with the key role for providing interventions for those with your chosen health need, and discuss their key competencies with reference to the NMBA Standards for Practice for registered nurses. Explore professional organisations available to support registered nurses in their practice, and how their practice/role differs from other members of the health care team in supporting people with your chosen health care need.
Finally, elaborate on your paper by discussing your expectations for how this area of nursing will look in 2050. Consider factors such as the predicted nursing shortage in Australia, the aging population, predicted number of people with your chosen health condition (and their disease burden) and social and political factors.
