The Impact

The impact of the health care sector and economic vitality plays a major role in the upliftment of the welfare of the society. A country's stability and sustainability will depend on how healthy its population is (Patry, Morris & Leatherman, 2010). Therefore, the reduction in mortality rate and an increase in healthy work force that performs work duties are likely to promote economic activities which will in turn increase the country's wealth. Clients seek health care services that can improve the state of their well-being. Since health care services are needed to promote well-being, clients are particular about how and where they purchase health care services from (Akponah, Mazibuko & Krüger, 2015:153). Numerous researchers have studied the factors that determine clients' decision-making in the utilization of health care services. Andersen and Newman (2005:14) put forward that predisposing, enabling and illness level influence the clients' decision to utilize health care services. Mekonnen and Mekonnen (2002:2) report that gender as a demographic factor influences the decision-making of clients regarding the utilization of health care services. However, Williams (2005:35) maintains that client attitudes regarding their decisions to utilize and access health care services from private health care institutions are influenced by their social structure, occupation, education, ethnicity, cultural, attitudes and beliefs relating to values, knowledge and attitudes from past experience. This study investigates and answers the following questions: What factors influences clients' decision-making regarding the utilization of private health care institutions?

Use Of Health Care

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research was to examine the characteristics of older Canadians with dementia (compared to those without dementia), their use of health care services, and the impact of place (rural/urban) on use of services. Andersen and Newman's Behavioural Model of Health Services Use (1973) guided the study. A cross-sectional design used data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Cycle 1.1 (N=49,995 older Canadians; those with dementia =313). Results indicated that among Canadian females between the ages of 50 and 64, those with dementia were more likely than those without dementia to live in rural areas. Among females 80 years of age and over, those with dementia had higher levels of education and income than those without dementia. In addition, a higher proportion of white than of visible minority Canadians was afflicted with dementia. The results further suggest that Canadians with dementia primarily required support services and that they were more likely than persons without dementia to report that their health care needs were unmet. It is recommended that publicly funded national home care programs be expanded to ensure that the supportive services needed by this population are available.

The Impact

The past few decades of ongoing war in Iraq has had a dramatic impact on the health of Iraq’s population. Wars are known to have negative effects on the social and physical environments of individuals, as well as limit their access to the available health care services. This paper explores the personal experiences of my family members, who were exposed to war, as well as includes information that has been reviewed form many academic sources. The data aided in providing recommendations and developing strategies, on both local and international levels, to improve the health status of the populations exposed to war.
