How Socioeconomic Determinants Affect Health Parity in the Promotion of Health and the Prevention of Disease

 

The influence of socioeconomic determinants on the establishment of health equity in the facilitation of health promotion and prevention of diseases is of considerable importance. According to Byers (2017), a notable predicament arises when nurses are confronted with the task of harmonizing the interests of patients with the pursuit of organizational efficiency, all while grappling with the constraints imposed by scarce resources. Socioeconomic determinants, such as financial resources, educational attainment, and the availability of healthcare services, tend to exert an unequal influence on marginalized communities, thereby engendering discernible discrepancies in health-related consequences. These disparities can impede equitable access to endeavours to promote health and prevent diseases.
