Significance of the National Academy of Medicines Recommendations Regarding Health Equity
The National Academy of Medicines (NAM, 2021) Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report makes a number of recommendations regarding the role of nurses and other stakeholders in achieving health equity. In particular, the report recommends that nurses should be leaders in addressing social determinants of health, improving access to care, and reducing health disparities. The report also calls for greater diversity among the nursing workforce, and for more investment in nursing education and research. These recommendations are significant because they highlight the vital role that nurses can play in promoting health equity. By addressing social determinants of health, improving access to care, and reducing health disparities, nurses can help to level the playing field and ensure that everyone has a fair chance at achieving good health. In order to make these recommendations a reality, however, it is essential that nurses are given the resources and support they need to succeed. The NAMs Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report is an important step in this direction.

They also influence health inequities - unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries. The social determinants of health are important because they affect a person's current and future health. For example, poor housing can lead to mental illness and infectious diseases. Inadequate early childhood education can lead to poor health in adulthood. And exposure to violence can lead to chronic stress...…practice self-care, nurses can minimize the risk of burnout and maximize their ability to provide quality care.
Caring for others can take a toll on nurses' personal and spiritual health. Self care is an important way for nurses to maintain their own health and well-being. There are many evidence-based strategies for self care, including exercise, relaxation techniques, and journaling (Wei et al., 2020). Exercise can help to reduce stress levels and improve mental health. Relaxation techniques such as mindfulness meditation can help to promote calm and peace of mind. By focusing on the present moment, practitioners can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Additionally, mindfulness meditation can help individuals to connect with their innermost thoughts and feelings, promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance. Journaling too can be a helpful way to process emotions and reflect on personal experiences. By taking care of themselves, nurses can stay healthy and be better prepared to…
