Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

Incorporating a global perspective into my local practice and role as a nurse leader is essential for addressing the complexities of global health issues. To advocate for this inclusion, I would begin by encouraging cultural competence and sensitivity among my community’s healthcare providers. This involves training on the effects of cultural beliefs, language difficulties, and social determinants of health on patient treatment, which is especially important when working with different communities. Furthermore, I would advocate for continued professional growth and training that creates a global attitude, preparing healthcare professionals to successfully adapt to and respond to international health crises such as COVID-19. We may better address the particular needs and inequities in our local community and contribute to greater global health efforts by highlighting the importance of recognizing the global context in healthcare.
