Mari kita hayati tema Nurses Day 2010
Dear Colleagues,
Every country in the world is affected by the rising tide of chronic disease, and the need for access to appropriate, affordable care for people with chronic conditions. The potential for nurses to contribute to improvement in the health of populations across the world through attention to chronic disease prevention and care has never been greater. Diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and cancer are the world’s biggest killers, causing an estimated 35 million deaths each year (WHO 2008a). 80% of these deaths occur in low and middle income countries. These diseases are preventable. When they do occur, effective care and management from the earliest stages can enable those affected to live fulfilling and productive lives. As well as these “conventional” chronic diseases, the changing pace and nature of other diseases such as HIV/AIDS, means that increasing numbers of people in all countries need ongoing chronic care. There is an urgent need for nurses everywhere to take the initiative and engage with all parts of the community and all sectors to address the growing threat chronic diseases pose to global health and well being. This document provides background information about the increasing need and demand for chronic care, using type-2 diabetes as an example. It challenges nurses and others to understand the enormity of the problem and to recognise that with knowledge, courage, vision and commitment nurses are well placed to take a lead role. ./. With this IND Kit, ICN is issuing a call to action for nurses everywhere to lead the fight against chronic disease; to act as healthy role models for their families, their patients and their communities; and, through their national nurses associations, to engage with ICN and its partners to advocate for necessary social, economic and political change.
