Explain Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing by Bessie L. Marquis and Carol J. Huston. 8th edition
Portfolio Assignment 5: Advocacy in Action
See chapter 6 of Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing by Bessie L. Marquis and Carol J. Huston. 8th edition
You will be responsible to research a policy issue, health care concern, or advocacy issue that is meaningful to you, and personally contact an organization that is working on that issue or contact an elected representative to express their concern about that issue.
You have several options to explore advocacy:
Many organizations that focus on a particular health concern, such as the Alzheimers Association, the American Heart Association, and the American Diabetes Association, have links on their websites with easy ways to become an advocate for their organization.
Another option is to join a health professional organization such as Gerontological Society of America, American Nurses Association, Sigma Theta Tau, and pursue an advocacy role as a nurse.
A third choice is to independently research a health policy concern at the state or national level, such as the opposition to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), obesity prevention, or cuts to home health care and write to your state or national representative with your concerns.
A fourth choice is to write a letter to an elected official regarding a piece of legislation or an issue that you choose to advocate for. If you are assigned to write a letter in another class, you may use that letter as your advocacy action for this assignment, however you still need to complete the 2-page reflection on advocacy (see below).
Label the parts of your portfolio draft (approximately 2 pages) with the following headings:
Advocacy issue
Describe the advocacy issue chosen and why, use supportive facts to explain why the issue is important to you
Actions
Explain how you were an advocate on this issue. Describe the organization joined (if applicable) or what legislator you contacted regarding your concern.
Application to practice
Reflect on how your new knowledge regarding this advocacy issue may help you with your practice. Also describe any future plans for advocacy on this issue.
