Please follow directions and complete worksheet. I’ll attach reference to follow

Excellent work! Now that you have successfully conducted a mini ethnographic analysis of the population, you will focus on other related health challenges. Even though the health challenge for your chosen humanitarian aid trip will be the focus of your interventions, there are other real and potential health challenges the population or the team will encounter. If you want to be successful in this trip, you need to know about these other health challenges and how they interact with the health challenge of the chosen population.

By investigating the scholarly literature, you will answer the questions: What is known about the other health challenges among the population within the area of focus for the humanitarian aid trip? What should the team prepare to encounter?

Prompt

Building on the prior project preparation assignments, examine the details related to the other health challenges faced by the population, as well as those your team may meet, during the humanitarian aid trip. Then complete the provided worksheet to further your analysis of the nature of the other health challenges. Search the scholarly literature to outline your responses for at least three different health challenges for your chosen location. Your responses should be concise.

Note that you should cite at least three scholarly sources from your investigation. The evidence should not be older than five years. To access the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate, go to the Start Here section of the course.

You must identify three other health challenges and address all the following specified criteria for each of these other health challenges:

Other Health Challenge #1: Assess the implications and interactions of this health challenge with your selected health challenge for your aid trip.

Analysis: Analyze the other health challenge in the Analysis Table provided. Be sure to address the following aspects:

Scenario

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa from 2013 to 2015 was the worst ever seen; it mostly hit the three neighboring nations of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. In terms of cases reported, Sierra Leone was the nation most severely impacted. The current study examines the outbreak in Sierra Leone. The epidemic was deemed a “public health emergency of worldwide concern” by the WHO in August 2014. Ebola spread quickly as a result of early warning systems, and the nation’s health system was unable to handle the enormous number of Cases (Richards, et al. 2020). In total, 14,124 Ebola cases including 3,955 fatalities had been reported to the WHO by March 2016; this was surpassing any other nation.

Population

Even more expensive than it is for adults, the WHO corresponds with the description of the potential Ebola virus in youngsters. For admission, children under the age of five simply need to exhibit one qualifying symptom. In late November 2014, 13/39 (or 33%) of the children admitted to the main hospital for children came back positive for the Ebola virus disease. As ebola virus infection incidence declined, this proportion rose (Fitzgerald, et al. 2016). This means that children could potentially be exposed to the nosocomial ebola virus sickness, and the effect on mortality for frequent diseases like malaria or sepsis is still unknown.

Health Challenge Analysis

Clinical Presentation: [It is believed that the virus comes from consuming non-primate meats (e.g. chimpanzees and monkeys). It is transmitted through bodily fluid contacts such as saliva, urine and breast milk. Symptoms include vomiting, fever, aches, loss of appetite, fatigue and sore throat.]

Prevalence

Populations at Risk: [The most affected groups are women and girls. Also, most cases reported were from rural areas.]

Morbidity and Mortality: [Case fatality rates vary between 25% and 90% (Rugarabamu et al., 2020). On average, half of those who contract the disease probably die.]

Prevalent Trends: [. Most cases emerge from Africa, and the most affected groups are those that eat bush meat. Analysis of the virus from 1976 to 2019 shows a linear rate of change with time (Rugarabamu et al., 2020).]

Inequities

i. Socioeconomic Groups: [First, poverty and unemployment, which forces people to hunt for bush meat, contribute to the disease.]

Race/Ethnicity: [So far, most of the affected countries are from Africa, but it is not yet clear whether certain races are more exposed than others.]

Gender: [Gender is another factor with women at a higher risk because most care for patients with the virus (
New Ebola outbreak hits women and girls hardest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2018).]

Other: [Regarding age, children are most vulnerable to the virus. Also, people within rural areas are at risk of the disease, and it can be further argued that high illiteracy levels can contribute to Ebola risks.]

Other Determinants of Health

Environmental: [The Ebola virus is transmitted via the air (water, soil). Therefore, exposure to contaminated air can trigger the virus.]

Biological: [The biological means through which the Ebola virus spread is when human beings directly interact with wildlife.]

Policy Evaluation: [One of the policies undertaken by the Sierra Leone government is declaring that hiding Ebola patients is illegal. This law was created to prevent a scenario where the residents hid Ebola patients, and that contributed to further Ebola Virus spread. This policy is effective because it will e

Complete this worksheet by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. The purpose of this worksheet is to structure your submission to cover each of the relevant topics where the substance of your response is the focus instead of academic formatting. Feel free to outline or use bullets in your responses as needed.

Ethnicity

About 16 distinct ethnic groups and their languages coexist in Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone, it’s common for people to identify with a particular ethnicity and religion. People of a specific ethnicity are those who consider themselves to be part of a particular cultural group. One’s ethnic identity is formed via shared experiences with those who share one’s linguistic and cultural backgrounds and common ancestry. “ethnicity” means a collection of people with a common cultural background. One’s sense of ethnic identity is founded on shared linguistic and cultural backgrounds, histories, and customs. The Temne are the largest single ethnic group in Sierra Leone, making up approximately 35.5 percent of the population (Gohdes, 2010).Most Temne live in and around Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, and the Northern Province. The fundamental dwelling unit is the family, whether led by a man or a woman. Families (husband, wife(s), and children) form the backbone of most houses. For example, some families consist of many people (a father and son or two siblings) who are married to one other, while others have other, more distant relatives or even strangers living with them. The head of the household mediates arguments, conducts moot courts to settle family conflicts, and acts as the family’s representative in village matters.

Stakes

Despite these persistent challenges, many people and organizations have worked to lessen poverty in Sierra Leone. In 2010, Sierra Leone initiated a free healthcare program called the Free Healthcare Initiative (FHCI). This program ensures that expectant mothers, new moms, and early infants have access to essential medical care to lower infant mortality rates. Sierra Leone is falling behind other countries in understanding citizens’ rights and duties because of a lack of financing for educational initiatives. This adds to the already existing disparity between the sexes and further pushes women to the margins of society. The difficulty of entering the labor force and the societal conception of women as servants to
