Reflecting on your responsibilities as a public health partner, how is your professional role (Public Health Nurse working with the Health Department) impacted by the limitations of humanitarian aid?
As a public health nurse working in a health department, my professional role is significantly impacted by the limitations of humanitarian aid in that it can only be provided in a community for a short period of time due to limitations in financial resources. It is therefore important for professionals such as public health nurses to try and build the capacity of local communities to take care of their health instead of just providing humanitarian aid during emergencies.
Discuss the line between helping and hurting the community.
During complex emergencies, help should be provided in the short-term such as food aid and health care aid, however providing help in the long term can hurt a community and destabilize social and economic systems resulting in more problems (Park, 2019).
