times this issue is rising in male of age 25- 60 years old living in City of Casey. This population
is highly vulnerable because City of Casey is growing fast in Victoria. So, due to that there are
many infrastructure development, buildings, etc. is going on. Thus is has led to impacting on
ecosystem and biodiversity of that area. Hence, it has changed lifestyle of males and they are
now not eating healthy diet, doing exercise, etc. therefore, there physical health is impacted. So,
it has been found that due to these changes male of age 25- 60 are highly vulnerable to cardiac
disorder. Also, males of this age group are working (Baldi & et.al., 2020). So, they have to work
in harsh conditions. It can be evaluated that there are various determinants of health contribute in

change in living conditions of people. Here, another is working conditions of people due to

to risk of cardiac arrest. Thus, these are some health determinants which contribute to it.
ROLE OF NURSE IN PROVIDING HEALTH EDUCATION
Nurses play a key role in monitoring the health of the nation. It is important to put forth
the education that is required to be an integral part of every health practice. In this the nurse role
for inhibiting the information into people will actually facilitate the behaviour of those that are
getting equipped with the knowledge (Gleason & et.al, 2017). It is an individual right in order to
get to know about the diagnosis treatment as well as the benefits that are related to along with the
cost and alternative. Every individual health status will have to be confirmed at regular intervals
and this entirely will be the responsibility of nurse to deal with incorporating right knowledge
3

regarding their health status. Based on and individuals interest the nurse will further teach and
found cell different aspects that are needed. They will have to co-ordinate with different
individuals in terms of providing care and does their regard to be health care coordinator.
Relevant health services must be known to every individual and those are to be incorporated by
nurses at regular intervals such that a proper knowledge regarding health sector will be provided.
The kind of education that nurses incorporate into an individual will therefore define the factors
like self-care self-employment and many other dependencies related to healthcare system
(Cowdell, 2019).
Empowerment and health literacy
Health issues regarding cardiac disorder cardiac arrest and heart failure are regarded to be
one of the common aspects that are pertain in this current world. Many people out there are not
aware of the things that are leading to this particular case. There might be different sources with
regard to the knowledge that is enhance and incorporated into public with regard to cardiac as
well as the heart failure issues (Ferreira & et.al, 2018). The duty of nurses in this regard will
provide a clear understanding about all the components that will lead to cardiac problem. This
health education when provided to people who are 25 to 60 years old will help them to identify
the choices that are to be made by them. Considering the city of Casey Victoria Australia there
seem to be different issues that are in regard to mental health as well as the ones that revolve
around heart. The duty of nurses in this regard is to empower them where the mere facts that are
actually related to the cause of these issues. The complete knowledge regarding the onset of
these issues will therefore be helpful and the individuals can be aware of all the requirements that
are needed to be purchased by them. The Chosen group in this regard is males between 25 years
to 60 years. the onset of 25 years well explain the atrocities that fall in regard to an individual.
Their for explaining about all the health problems especially to the mail will help them to
understand the components with which they will have to deal with (Kelly & et.al, 2017). Their
habits as well as the consequences that occur in the society will therefore be handled with the
prior knowledge that is inculcated by the nurse. The people who are oppressed with health issues
will therefore be provided with power coalitions that are required for them to inhibit the changes
as well as the challenges of the community. This will help the individual to go with alternative
measures in order to win over the health conditions. A progressive vision is important in order to
promote health and this can only be done by nurses. The Health Promotion will help an
4

individual to get grip cover their pertaining health condition and that will therefore be proper
empowerment. there is a chance of increasing self-esteem and self confidence in the population
that is targeted in this report (Keele, 2019). The onset of 25 years of age is where people will try
to incorporate and are very conscious about the things that are pattern in the community. The
health issues that are pertaining in the city of Casey in Australia will first have to be understood
by the people such that they will get to overcome in due course of time. Older people tend to
have lower health literacy and therefore there is a probable chance of getting into health issues
because proper diagnosis was not done by them. Therefore, on incorporating Knowledge
regarding the pertaining issues will be helpful for them to self-identify their situation in times of
need.
It has been stated that there is connection between health promotion, community health and
primary health care. They all are interrelated to each other in some or other way. Basically,
health promotion means to make people aware about how to improve their health and its
determinants. Community health is intersection of health care, economics and social interaction.
Primary health care is essential health care provided to people (Landry & et.al., 2017). So, it is
found that nurse must promote health care to improve people health. They must create awareness
among people on what practices can be followed, how to remain healthy, etc.
Alongside, nurse plays vital role in community health as they provide care services to
people. Besides, they find out needs of people in society and then accordingly provide care. In
addition, nurse is responsible for primary health care as well (Perkins & et.al., 2018). They work
in front to give basic and essential care services. Hence, it can be said that in all these nurse role
is crucial. When health promotion is done in effective way then it automatically led to
contributing in community and primary health care. So, in this way cardiac arrest health issue
can be reduced in male of age 25- 60 by health promotion by nurse. Health promotion is also
related to health education.
