Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...
Traditional Level Of Health Care System01:26

Traditional Level Of Health Care System

The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...
Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment01:25

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...
Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets01:17

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Public health
  • Health equity

Background:

  • Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) populations experience significant stigma and discrimination.
  • These barriers lead to reduced access to preventive health care and higher chronic disease burdens.
  • Affirming approaches in healthcare settings can build trust and improve clinical relationships with TGD patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review best practices in preventive health care for transgender and gender diverse populations.
  • To highlight key areas of preventive health including cancer screening, bone health, vaccinations, sexual health, cardiovascular risk, and behavioral health.
  • To emphasize the importance of shared decision-making in reducing health disparities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of best practices in TGD preventive health.
  • Synthesis of current recommendations across various health domains.
  • Focus on evidence-based strategies for clinical application.

Main Results:

  • Preventive care for TGD individuals requires tailored, affirming approaches.
  • Key areas include cancer screenings, bone density, immunizations, sexual health, cardiovascular risk assessment, and behavioral health support.
  • Shared decision-making is crucial due to limited specific data for trans patients.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing affirming preventive care strategies can mitigate health disparities in TGD populations.
  • Clinicians should prioritize trust-building and individualized care through shared decision-making.
  • Improved preventive health practices are essential for enhancing the well-being of TGD individuals.
