What are the DALY, YLD and and YLL measures and from where are data obtained for these measures? How are risk factors incorporated into Burden of Disease Analysis? How can Burden of Disease studies inform health service planning? What are the advantages and disadvantages of ‘Burden of Disease’ as a measure of population health?

PART 2 (approx. 1,400 words). Epidemiological (Health) Profile. Using the community you selected for Assessment task 2, locate epidemiological data on this community and use these data to develop a Community Epidemiological Profile; that is, describe epidemiological characteristics of the community. These characteristics may include life expectancy, mortality (death) by cause, morbidity (illness, injury and disability) by cause, risk factors for health problems, health-promoting factors, self-reported health, and measures from Burden of Disease analysis (where available). You may choose to focus on selected diseases and risk factors provided you justify their importance. Compare epidemiological characteristics of your chosen community to those of the general Australian population. Discuss relevant measures for which data are not available, and limitations of the measures that are available.

Evaluate the implications for nursing care related to changes in the environment (natural, social and governmental) that impact the health of older people.

/in /by

Registered nurses work with individuals, groups and communities to improve health. One way to do this is to analyse how risks to health can be reduced during changes to natural, social and/ or governmental elements in our society. As clinical leaders, registered nurses are expected to collect information about an emerging health risk from a variety of sources and collate this information into a meaningful analysis with recommendations for a specific audience. The audience for these analyses can be the public, older people or carers of older people, or nurses working in a range of practice contexts. This aim of this assignment requires you to apply your theoretical knowledge gained from modules 1, 2 and 3.
Your poster and written justification (AN INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT) must:
1. Recommend and justify the nursing requirements for older people diagnosed with, or at risk of, complex health conditions and/or cognitive decline; and
