Canadian Healthcare: Factors Adding Up to Failure and Attempts at Resolution
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the many challenges facing the Canadian health care system, challenges which are translating into a deleterious impact to patient welfare. Contends that although the system is characterized by a rapidly changing technology and more complex nursing needs little is being accomplished toward addressing those needs. Indeed, the present climate of fiscal restraint which exists across Canada has resulted in an increased use of unregulated health care workers in a variety of health care settings. These unregulated workers have been employed as cost saving measures but are perceived by many as having contributed to degraded health care environment. Suggests that a better approach might be to encompass these workers under the oversight of the professionals who have served as the backbone of Canada's health care system for generations.

Cardiovascular Disease
[ send me this paper ]
A 21 page paper discussing the causes of cardiovascular disease and some of the preventive measures that individuals can take for themselves. Not all risk factors - age, sex, heredity - can be prevented, but many others are under individuals' control. The bottom line in prevention of cardiovascular disease is to live by the guidelines of common sense. The human body was not made to survive on junk food, but it thrives with many fruits, vegetables and fiber. Some studies have found that increased fiber, while not directly affecting the cardiovascular system, can nonetheless have a positive effect by tying up some of the cholesterol that otherwise would be floating free in the bloodstream, ready to attach itself to arterial walls. The old adage of "everything in moderation" is particularly applicable to prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Changing Attitudes Regarding Disease, Health and Wellness
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the ways that attitudes have changed regarding perceptions of disease, health, and wellness. At one time, virtually all disease was seen as something shameful and related to some type of lack of character or strength in an individual. Those beliefs than evolved into an unwavering faith in modern medicine and the assumption that anything a medical professional prescribed in terms of drugs or procedures was the only way to be healthy and physically whole. As a result, individual belief patterns regarding health and wellness became based on fear, shame, and treatment rather than on wholeness, wellness, and personal decision-making. That attitude has begun to change and it is not a moment too soon. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
