Students will berequested to work from three standpoints: (1) the social and scientific location of their own work;(2) nursing academic perspectives from Canada, Australia, Mexico, and Spain; and (3) globalhealth agendas to achieve health for all as a human right. The core analytical contribution is toexplore the relationships between theoretical and methodological assumptions, academictraditions, and social values in the way nursing knowledge is produced and reproduced in theinternational scenario.NUR1083HCOMPARATIVE POLITICS OF HEALTH POLICY IN GLOBABLIZING WORLDThis course takes students into a multidisciplinary approach that integrates national and globalpolitics in the explanation of how health policies are generated and implemented, and how thosepolitics shape population health. Emphasis is put in an understanding of specific health problems,political forces and political economy, both national and international that shape populationhealth. In the first section the course begins with the robust descriptive empirical typology ofwelfare state types that has been associated with different health outcomes in wealthy countries.The next section devotes several weeks to theories of political and policy change including powerresources, institutionalism, class, gender and race movements in health care reform, microapproachesto health policy development, and policy diffusion models. The third section onnational health systems compares the health systems of Liberal, Social democratic and Christiandemocratic welfare state types in EU countries. The course then presents the health caresystems of East Asia and Latin America. The last section brings an international perspective intothe politics of health policy by analyzing the impact of the neo-liberal globalization on health caresystems. The course ends by reviewing current developments in Canada and around the world toprovide alternatives and future directions.(3 hours/week)NUR1084YESSENTIALS IN APPLIED STATISTICS IN NURSINGThis course is designed to a) introduce graduate level students to quantitative statistical methodsb) to form foundations for more advanced courses, and c) to apply statistical methods to researchproblems encountered in nursing.
