that there side unemployment ratio, health hazardous, pollution etc. are in high range. Number of
hospital along with physician are less in Dagenham. That's why large number of families health
conditions are so measurable. Poverty and environmental condition are the biggest reason which
gives impact on family's health as result illness.

2. Concept of health and well-being
Health refers physical, mental and social welfare which is used as resources for living the
life joyfulness. While illness also known as disease or sickness, can be defined as the sick health
the human being who can recognize disease or symptoms themselves. In simple word illness
refers as feeling of the pain, weakness, discomfort and fatigue. On other hand disease occurs by
illness (Haber, 2019). It can determine by the person and can take medication themself while
disease can identify and diagnose by medical expert and physician. Health promotion is defined
as the procedure of authorizing peoples to enhance their control as result get health and wealthy
profile. It is behavioural social science which is designed from biological, environmental,
sensual and medical science for improving health and reduces disease, disability and immature
death from some factors i.e. behaviour change activity. Thus, health promotion maintains well-
being of human being and alerts them to stay away from disease. To promote the health, there

are some principles of health promotion. It can be defined as a approach in which includes
interaction, legislation, education, financial measurement, structural change, development of
community and natural activities against health risk (Park, Donoff and Saldana, 2017)
. This approach helps the people to improve their life cycle and maintain well-being in society.
Health promotion plays significant role for promoting good health and prevent ill health. For
example- based on the approach develop alertness about health status of individual person,
families, community, local and nation so that they beware of their life span. On other hand health
promotion decreases premature death by giving education and tells them what activity can give
negative impact on the people health. Approaches also suggest the person to adapt some habits
like quit smoking, do exercise etc. can improve the quality of life for the individual, community
and nation.

3. Health profile of family
Health is most important for everyone if they fit mentally, physically as result can be
socially active. If they unwell physiologically as result unable to maintain well-being in the
society. That's why health plays significant role in human being life. While Dagenham is
undeveloped village where unemployment is in high range that's poverty range is heightened.
Due to poverty families unable to expand money on their health. Second reason families have
addiction of smoke and liquor (alcohol). Region is the main reason for the families who survive
their life (Eichbaum, 2017). The total population of Dagenham approx 211,998 which is
enhanced approx 1,300 in 2017. Children ratio (person age between 0 and 15), which is equal to
27% of the population. While 134,378 peoples have employment which is equals to 63% of total
population and 19,755 peoples who are retired (65 and above), equal to 9% of total population.
The workless families' approx 14,250 (27.2%) where they come in below the poverty line in
Dagenham. On other hand larger families' ratio approx 3,890 (6%) where thy come in poverty
line. Income deprivation of families approx 22.5% and employment ration approx 22.5%, that's
reason of the poverty. In Dagenham, education deprivation approx 13.5% while crime estimation
approx 9.3%. Families health deprivation and disability ratio approx 13.5%. Number of families
who have own house are lack while homeless family ratio is higher in Dagenham. There number
of families suffers from health illness which transform into disease due to lack of health
treatment resources. The main reason of the poverty is to social, political, economical and

environmental issues. Homelessness f the family in Dagenham approx 15.9%. The main reason
of the health illness are health inequalities like smoking and obesity. It directly gives impact on
families' lifespan such as disability in new born baby, mental illness etc. Dagenham is
undeveloped area in England where fewer facilities available for the peoples that's why large
number families suffers from diabetes and heart disease (Battel-Kirk and Barry 2019). On other
hand children's are suffers from malnourishment because their family unable to give proper food
facilities due to unemployment. In simple term can define poverty is the reason of
malnourishment. Adults in which includes male and female who suffers from heart disease,
obesity and asthma and cancer type of disease which enhances premature death ratio. The reason
behind of the disease alcohol consumption and smoke. The healthcare department finds large
number of families suffers from asthma and cardiovascular disease in the survey of Dagenham.
While children suffers from malnourishment due to poverty.

Key health needs
During survey of the Dagenham observes that Large number of children are suffered
from malnourishment and adults suffers from non-communicable disease such as heart disease
and respiratory disease. The reason behind of the disease is alcohol consumption and smoking. al
data on patterns of mobility That's why 13.9% part of total population suffers from health
disease. 27% children's are suffered from malnourishment, in simple term there parents are
unable to give proper food facilities which leads disability in children (Eichbaum, 2017).
Through the national and local healthcare report observation finds that there side population
requires health care and social care needs which can improve their health quality and well-being
in society. Health needs are-
Healthcare services: It includes education, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment,
rehabilitation and terminal care arr health care needs which is required for families who survive
their life in Dagenham. Based on national and local report finds that there side hospital are less in
Dagenham that why number of people don't get proper medication for diagnosed disease.
Another reason lack of medical expert in available hospital which causes families doesn't get

area in England

healthcare services. Deprivation of medical store in Dagenham leads less pharmaceutical care for
the peoples. Social organization food strategy doesn't available for families who don't have
money for buying food and all as result children suffers from malnourishment. Adults in which
involves male and female are addicted from alcohol and smoking, doesn't have rehab centres for
them, which causes premature death ratio is increased. Unemployment also a reason of the
malnourishment and alcohol consumption because job opportunity is too less for the families.
Families attitudes also a big reason for the health disease (Rootman and O’Neill 2017). These are
the reason of the health issues. To improve morality and quality of the family life requires
healthcare facilities for the families so that their well-being is maintained in the society. The total
ratio of smokers approx 14.7% in Dagenham. While alcohol ratio approx 40% of total population
in the undeveloped district. If number of hospital and organization food centre is increased in the
Dagenham, can improve families lifespan.
Health education: Education plays significant role in health well-being. Based on the local and
national report finds education deprivation is 13.9% in Dagenham. where large number of adults
consumes alcohol which leads heart disease. Number of people unaware that excessive alcohol
damages heart wall and leads heart arrest which causes people get premature death. Those
families who consume alcohol regular basis for overcoming starvation that gives negative impact
on mental and physical health. In the report finds large number of female are suffers from asthma
disease due to smoking. The main reason unawareness of families about smoke side effect.
Regular basis smoking leads insufficiency in oxygen filtration which is done by lungs. While
chain-smoking leads impairment in respiratory function as result asthma occurs. That's why
number of families suffers from health disease. Malnourishment also a big issue for the
children's who suffers due to poverty. The malnourishment refers the children or person who
don't eat properly due to lack of resources. In simple term deprivation of protein known as
malnourishment.
Disease prevention: Heart disease, malnourishment and asthma are the main reason of health
disease which requires high standard healthcare and pharmaceutical care. There side hospital and
medical expert are deprived which enhance death ratio of the peoples. Based on the
governmental report finds that medical resources are very fewer in hospital which utilizes in for
disease treatment (Tengland, 2016). Second healthcare organization doesn't available in the
Dagenham which leads negative attitude in public health.

Drug abuse: based on the annual report finds that large number of teenager are addicted from
drugs like heroin, sativum etc., which leads disability in their health. Teenagers are unaware
about side effect. There side also finds that large number of people who have family are addicted
from alcohol and smoking in Dagenham (John and Fallavollita 2020). The reason of the
addiction is unemployment and deprivation of rehab centre who can make them understand that
smoke and alcohol both gives negative impact on the life and it leads premature death as well. To
reduces ratio of alcohol addiction, rehab centre requires.
LO3
Factors
There are various factor finds which gives impact on the family health status and reduces
their well-being in society. These factor leads premature death in the Dagenham
Lack of employment: Dagenham is under privileged area of London where poverty is
heightened that why large number of families survival rate become less. The main reason of the
poverty is the unemployment ratio. Job opportunity is fewer for the people who lead a whole
family. Due to fewer opportunity doesn't get job as result unable to get proper resources for the
family. The ratio of unemployment approx 27.2% on other hand employment ratio also same. In
simple term fifty percent people have job and fifty percent people don't have job. Those families
who have job but they get low salary which is insufficient for the families. This is the reason of
the ill health which reduces well-being of the families and enhance ratio of the premature death.
Ther is an example for understand the concept. When a person who have responsibility of the
whole family in which includes five member. Where they don't get job in that state consume
alcohol for reducing stress and become addict by and by as result health disease takes place. In
governmental report finds that education and skill & development deprivation ratio approx 9%
which is the second reason of the unemployment (John and Fallavollita 2020). To get high
profile job, people don't have proper skills which can match for the job position that's why they
unable to get high salary.
Ineffective government strategies:
Dagenham is undeveloped town which is situated outside of the England. That's why
families unable to take advantage of governmental strategies. Second what ever strategies are
implemented in town for the families, these are in effective. For example government offers
employment opportunity in Dagenham so that number of people who don't have job , get the job

and live their life effectively. Where fewer people get the job while rest are unemployed. Those
people who get job opportunity, gets insufficient salary which is not survival for the people and
their families. There side some governmental hospitals are available so that people can take
pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities but lack of nursing staff people unable to take healthcare
medication. Even diagnosis equipment is limited in the hospital which causes families unable to
take treatment of the disease (Sharma, 2016). Government offers rehab centre facilities for the
teenager who are addicted from drugs but trainer doesn't available for the guidance and
monitoring their activities. Social organizing food strategy also introduces by the government for
children's and the family who suffers from malnourishment but fewer families enables to take
advantage of the strategy, remaining are incapable to take advantage. Thus, whatever strategies
runs by the government are ineffective for the families because they don't involve.
Behavioural risk factors
it refers the individual person or families who losses their capacity to alter diet, tobacco,
smoking and consumption of the alcohol which gives negative impact on health such as
inefficient physical action, dietary hazards, high blood pressure and high cholesterol level are the
major risk of the development of chronic disease. In Dagenham, large number of the families
consumes alcohol and smoking which gives negative impact on their health. These factor
influences health illness which is transformed into chronic disease. The main reason of the
behavioural risk factor is attitude towards the health.
Attitude towards health: Families attitude towards health is negative, in simple definition there
side people are carefree for the health. The main reason of the negative attitude is unawareness
of the people for the health. Families don't know smoking and alcohol can give injurious impact
on their heart and respirator. The main reason behind of the such kind attitude is lack of health
education. In Dagenham, peoples are out updated for their health condition and side effect of
smoking, alcohol etc. (Jack, Hamshire and Chambers, 2017). There is another reason lack of
employment in the undeveloped town reduces well-being of the family that why premature death
ratio is raised in Dagenham. To remove the issues requires health education which makes them
alert that alcohol gives impact on heart and leads chronic heart disease. On other hand smoking
gives impact on respirator system and leads asthma disease in peoples. Even updates female who
are pregnant and smokes regular basis that smoke leads disability in new born baby. Thus, they
people enable to change their attitude towards health.

Impact of health inequalities
Smoking, alcohol consumption etc. gives negative impact on the family in which includes
male, female, children and old aged peoples. Due to excessive smoking and highly consumption
of alcohol leads premature morality and can lead disability in upcoming generation which is
injurious for the family. Even alcohol consumption leads metal and physical disability in new
born baby or child which can be unavoidable for the medical expert. Alcohol consumption not
only gives negative impact on heart but also lead disability in mind and physical action. While
smoking not only gives injurious impact on the active people but also injurious for the passive
peoples. Passive people refer who don't smoking but breathing in smoke on other hand active
person who smokes and directly breaths smoke.

Various duties and responsibilities nurses needs to fulfil. Such role and duties can be
summarized as follows-
Prevent Health Care: To prevent the health care is among the prime responsibility nurses needs
to fulfil. Prevent health check up involve all the care of patients suffer from asthma and heart
disease. The nurses need to cope up with all the satisfactory measures while conducting all the
associated operations such as taking care of patient, proving time to time medication, to give
regular check up for asthma and heart diseases. Timely medication and regular health check ups
related to the various aspects of the asthma and heart diseases is a crucial aspect of the job role of

surrounding place of the patient hygienic.

the future.

Asthma and Heart Disease is also the prime role of the nurses in hospitals. Nurses collaborate
with the all the team in the entire process of medication to improve the convenience for patient
and doctors as well.
The information plays significant role for planning of the health promotion actively in
various places i.e. locally, nationally which is done by the individual nurse. Nurse observes
patient consult and monitors patient activities towards the instruction. Thus nursing staff enables
to aware about patient performance and health improvement (Lake and Rhynders 2019). In the
health promotion planning, nurse gives information to ratio of patient who suffers from cardiac
disease and asthma. Based on the data information government enables to introduce new
governmental strategies which gives effectiveness and improves the quality of health.
