Topic
The impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on primary healthcare around the world is considerable. The new coronavirus is a highly destructive because of the fact that it has managed to affect the health of people in a large number of ways. The pandemic has dramatically reduced access to primary healthcare in the majority of companies around the world including developed countries such as the United States and Australia (Halcomb 559). The poor access to healthcare services can lead to a decrease in the quality of life for millions of people throughout the world. In its turn, the decreased quality of life will impact economic as well as social development in a negative way leading to the spread of complex diseases. The COVID 19 pandemic has presented an international health crisis of a scope not seen in our lifetime. While much attention has been paid to health workers in critical care and acute areas, nurses working outside of hospitals are also significantly affected. This study sought to investigate the experience of nurses working in Australian primary healthcare during the COVID 19 pandemic. In particular, it sought to understand the implications on their employment status, role, and access to personal protective equipment. (Halcomb, 559). Healthcare administrators have been challenged throughout this entire COVID 19 pandemic. Hospital administrators have to deal with equipment shortages for patients and healthcare workers, staffing shortages, and also having to furlough staff and slashing benefits.
Problem Statement
Coronavirus is now the talk of the year and due to the pandemic, which has taken the lives of over 207,000, thousand people. Many people think that the coronavirus was man-made and others think that it originated from Wuhan, China. Scientists first identified a human coronavirus in 1965. It caused a common cold. Later that decade, researchers found a group of similar human and animal viruses and named them after their crown-like appearance. (WebMD,2020). This theory cannot be explained, and scientists and professionals are still trying to come up a vaccine for this virus. People have failed to notice that this pandemic is not going anywhere anytime soon. If this continues, and it is believed that Coronavirus was man-made, we’ll never understand the larger question, which is why? By rethinking our approach and following the CDC guidelines we can potentially fix the issue and get rid of Coronavirus once and for all. I would like to find out more information on the following questions:
What are the healthcare issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic?
What is being done to address these issues?
What is the level of effectiveness of the current approaches to addressing the problem?
What are the consequences in case the issues are not properly addressed for both patients and healthcare organizations?
How can the COVID-19 pandemic transform the process of providing primary healthcare in the United States?
Interpretation of Findings
My theory is unsupported, as well as the written and discussed substance of the project report cannot be demonstrated either by evidence presented(Spoorthy,et.al 2020).
Every one of the participants expressed their opinion upon this corona virus, the problems and issues which arose with the impending disease outbreak, the problems brought to them through the disease outbreak, like death of a loved, working remotely, Worked from home due to closings, children's learning being interrupted(Spoorthy, et.al 2020) due to school closures, the increasing living costs due to modern and irregular living norms, such as the wearing of masks, as well as an increase in taxation, resulting in wage reduction, from attached document showing the data of comparison between both the men and women sample of 10 people in diverse fields of study and varying levels of studies achieved(Spoorthy, et.al 2020).
It should be remembered that disease has harmful consequences for individuals or beings who are at greater risk of acquiring the virus, despite the government's stringent control and preventative methods imposed on the World Health Organization's recommendations to minimize transmission saving livelihood(Spoorthy, et.al 2020).
The thesis below will explain and where necessary explain what is justifiable about the global pandemic, Corona Virus: with reference to World Health Organization and the Covid -19 response team(Spoorthy, et.al 2020).
Healthcare issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic
The hypothesis will be addressed in the succeeding sections and include, interruption of health programs, disruption of management and cure of non-communicable diseases ( NCDs), social stigma, panic, alienation, death, and reduced income, as well as how the disease outbreak has produced healthcare problems(Boyle, et.al 2020).
First, as per a WHO study released on October 10, 2020, psychological healthcare systems are being disrupted in most countries around the globe even as demand for cognitive health treatment grows(Boyle, et.al 2020). COVID-19 has a detrimental effect on access to mental health services, as shown by global survey results from 130 nations, underscoring the immediate need for adequate funding.
According to the WHO, nations were investing less of their public healthcare budgets on mental wellbeing prior to the disease outbreak, and were unable to meet the demands of their citizens(Boyle, et.al 2020). Countries would then raise funding to address the problems that have arisen as a result of the corona virus's spread.
Second, when the COVID-19 outbreak started, diagnosis and care programs for non-communicable diseases ( NCDs) were seriously disrupted, as shown in a WHO survey conducted by 155 countries over a three-week period in May, which indicated that the effect is global, with developing countries being the hardest hit. This is a serious situation because people who live with non-communicable diseases are at risk(Boyle, et.al2020).
According to Dr.Tedros, and Director-General of the World Health Organization(Boyle, et.al 2020). “Many people who need treatment for diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes have not been receiving the health services and medicines they need since the COVID-19 pandemic began(Boyle, et.al 2020). It’s vital that countries find innovative ways to ensure that essential services for NCDs continue, even as they fight COVID-19.”
Death, loneliness, lack of income, and anxiety may all cause or exacerbate mental health problems(Boyle, et.al 2020). Many individuals may be experiencing a rise in alcohol and drug use, as well as anxiety and depression. COVID-19, on the other hand, can cause neurological and mental problems like delirium, anxiety, and stroke(Boyle, et.al 2020). People who have an emotional, neurological(Boyle, et.al 2020), or substance-abusing condition. More vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection, they may stand a higher risk of severe outcomes and even death.
Finally, Dr. Tedros, Director-General of the World Health Organization, said, "Good mental health is completely central to optimal health and well-being." “COVID-19 has disrupted critical health systems around the world at a time when they are most needed. During the pandemic and beyond, world leaders must act quickly and decisively to increase investment in life-saving mental health programs(Boyle, et.al 2020).”
