Social Determinants of Health Learning about the social determinants of health has had a significant outcome in my nursing profession. The social forces and systems play a significant role in determining how nurses provide services. The knowledge on the economic, political, and social conditions that influence the health of individuals has impacted my nursing profession regarding the quality of services, patients’ focus, and safety of nursing services. The socio-economic status of individuals influences the nursing service I offer to patients. Social determinants of health are factors that people are born, grow, age, live, and work in that determine their physical, social, and emotional wellbeing (Bickley et al., 2020). Individuals living in low socio-economic areas are more likely to develop the health conditions resulting from environmental pollution such as cholera due to consumption of contaminated water (Bickley et al., 2020). As a result, such patients’ nursing needs will differ from the services offered to the patients from prosperous socio-economic areas
