By Kenneth Mitchell


There is mixed perspective when it comes to promoting the well being in the society. This is the job that had for long been left out wholly to the medical practitioners to handle especially the nurses. Most diseases are acquired in natural settings and can be prevented but only that most people are unaware of ways to avoid. Enhancing the health promotion for minority nurses and students through different strategies is one way of ensuring quality health services to the public.

First, they need to access healthcare education to be in a position to acquire the right skills that can help them control their health and that of a community. The government study curriculum should include valuable topics that enlighten and equip them with the knowledge that they can later pass it on to the community. For instance topics on drug abuse will teach them on how to reduce respiratory infections.

Eating healthy is living healthy. The biggest challenge, however, today is associated with poor nutrition and harmful lifestyle. The rise in diseases such as obesity and diabetes is attributed to lack of awareness on preventive and control measures of such infections. The learners are the best disseminator of knowledge and they ought to be educated on how to manage the nutrition to prevent such diseases.

The environment where one stays can have a more significant impact on the genesis and development of the infections. The practitioners ought to understand that the physical, social context can change the course of the infection. They have to enlighten the community and probably come up with strategies towards promoting a safe and healthy environment to minimize the disease exposure.

Some of the severe infections such as cancer are known to have an extended latency period during which people will not realize they are infected until when the immune system is compromised. The learners should be educated on the need and importance of going for regular screening. They should also enlighten the community on the same to arrest the situation at early stages.

The learners out to be aware of the critical intervention policies that have been put in place to reduce exposure to infections, minimize spread as well as those intended to eradicate the disease. This is on the way that they will at individual level, change their behavior as well as help their communities from avoiding the restricted behaviors that go against the policies.

They should also be outfitted with the fundamental abilities that can empower them to practice disease counteractive action in the community. Such attitudes would be of incredible help on the off chance that there are crises or episodes in the group they can take care of the casualties. They can always take part in assisting the professionals to facilitate a smooth healthcare promotion program in the community.

The nursing practitioners the students should be involved in workshops and seminars. This is a perfect opportunity for them to learn about the treats that individual and the community face. They will as well get a chance to learn from the different challenges of their colleagues in different parts. This will help them be aware of possible ways to prevent different infections.
