With my major being nursing, we often have to read and write papers on nursing journals. These are journals written to discuss different topics or issues in health care. In which, a nursing performs a case study and shares the results of this. One nursing journal in particular I had to read the nurse was discussing risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in a population of children in public schools. A population is meant to represent all children in public schools by comparing statistics within a smaller group of people.
Personally as a person who lives in the southern United States, I know that is a particular issue for people in our area. This has now spread to our youth and with Mississippi being the leader in all the states. This topic raises concern because until recent times children have not been a concern with this disease. However it is now a worldwide issue. I believe the writer’s motive for writing this journal was to address preventive interventions that health care workers can promote and prevent this epidemic. What is at stake is the health and future of our youth. The writers are a group of nurses Suyanne Freire de Macedo; Márcio Flávio Moura de Araújo; Niciane Pessoa Bandeira Marinho; Adman Câmara Soares Lima; Roberto Wagner Freire de Freitas; Marta Maria Coelho Damasceno. These nurses background include all are RN with a master’s degree from Universidade Federal do Ceará, CE, Brazil. This article was published through a nursing journals publisher called Scielo. Scielo publishes academic nursing journals with the intent to educate other nurses and health care workers through documentation of facts in relation to case studies.
I believe that the writers call to write was to address the concern for preventive health care directed towards school age children in hopes to prevent type two diabetes mellitus. The writers points out the need for public policies to help fight risk factors associate with diabetes type two. Through different inventions like programs that would address exercise and weight control in our youth. If we prevent this disease or identify children at risk health care would have better results for these children.
The writer’s language is use of medical terms in the form of a scholarly journal. The writer’s tone is that of someone who is concern for the health of our youth expressing this with scientific statistics and evidence. I believe the writer’s are addressing several groups of people. They are addressing nurses, nursing students, educational groups that could fund public policies, and school workers. Overall, I believe the writer’s did very well address this is and conveyed significant information and statistics that supported the overall purpose of this writing. The writer’s could have shared possible information about communities that have incorporated these preventive measures and what results may have came from that to make the journal overall more well rounded. However, after reading this journal and the statistics it definitely made me raise my eyebrows to this issues and even more so as a mother of two.
