Assessment Of Cancer Knowledge, Attitudes And Screening Behavior Among Middle Eastern Population
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. No country is immune from the ravages of cancer, however, not all nations are as knowledgeable or have the most beneficial attitudes about the often-fatal disease. As well, screening behavior has been found to be gravely deficient in some parts of the globe, effectively adding to the overall mortality rate. Speculation has surmised that the Middle East has not sufficiently maintained its knowledge base with regard to cancer, yet recent awareness consortiums and comprehensive clinics have been at the forefront of its fight against this indiscriminate killer. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Assisted Suicide: Education Over Legal Infiltration
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Allowing a person the same inherent right to die that accompanies the right to live is to respect the fact that people are free to make any and all choices that pertain to their individuality. Just because one person believes it is unethical for a doctor to commit physician-assisted suicide does not mean that this is the deciding factor; rather, what stands as opinion can be taken only for opinion and not law. A terminally ill patient who elects to be euthanized in order to escape the ravages of pain is not in a position to be judged. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Assisted Suicide: Rights And Individual Freedom
[ send me this paper ]
18 pages in length. If an individual is terminally ill, should the state or federal government interfere with a person's rights in taking his or her own life? The argument that has sent the world into a tailspin is whether or not people who are suffering from terminal or excruciatingly painful illness have the right to take their own lives with or without the help of physician-assisted suicide. Proponents contend that what one does with one's life is of no consequence to anyone else -- that it is not only humane to allow someone to be relieved of constant discomfort but also supported by the Constitution of the United States as a guarantee of freedom. On the other hand, critics claim that the act of euthanasia is nothing more than a fabricated form of murder. Both sides have pertinent points when it comes to understanding and assessing the conflict, but euthanasia supporters have a significantly stronger argument. There is no doubt that physician-assisted suicide is not only the right thing to do for someone seeking such a decision, but it is also ethical, humane and supported by constitutional rights. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Assisting the Uninsured
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper presenting a plan to create a “permanent health fair” at a public hospital. Health fairs provide a variety of low-cost screening for heart disease, cancer and diabetes, while also providing a wealth of information for individuals using their services. More than 20 million Americans currently have no form of health insurance and do not qualify for public assistance. A hospital-based health fair setting has the ability to provide ongoing prevention and health promotion services while referring those needing attention to community groups that can share in the costs of treating the uninsured. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Assistive Devices & The Elderly/Maintaining Independence
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page literature review that addresses the use of assistive devices by the elderly. There has been a major paradigm shift that has transferred the focus of society from "disability to ability and from professional power to patient empowerment" (Wressle and Samuelsson, 2004, p. 143). This necessarily influences the field of rehabilitation and occupational therapy, as assistive devices empower patients to keep control of their lives. This literature review explores whether empirical research studies support the concept that assistive devices contribute significantly to the goal of maintaining independence in old age. The writer concludes that it does. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
