Profile of Country Report

With reference to Country Report, the emphasis is on the theme of the conference that is Healthy Nurses for NCD free Pacific.

1.         Prior to the SPNF and compiling your country report, there needs to be a survey done on nurses health status in order to reflect habits of smoking, nutritional status, alcohol and drug use, and physical exercise.  This would help to determine the health status of the nurses in your country, and how nurses can help to decrease the prevalence of NCD in the Pacific.

2.        Indicate in the report the health status of the nurses of your country?

3.        What is the general health status of nurses in your country?

4.        What do nurses do to stay healthy?

5.        What do nurses do in relation to NCD in your country?

6.        Reflect in the report how the nurses of your country are responding to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and what are they doing to help achieve MDGs, and in relation to the prevalence of NCD in your country.

7.       How can nurses in your country promote an NCD free Pacific?
