Imagine you are writing on behalf of the nursing profession. You have been requested to develop a position statement for the current Federal (or State) Minister for Health. The aim of this paper is to influence health policy using evidence-based research/interventions and effective public health advocacy to address a health issue using a nursing lens. The aim of a position paper is to convince the audience that your position is valid. It is therefore important to address the key components of the issue and present it in clear and logical language that demonstrates an awareness of both sides of the health issue. Remember to include counterarguments and develop a position: considering your evidence and research, what position could you or should you advocate for? The topic is: Access to Medical Abortion in Australia: While medical abortion in Australia is decriminalised, access to this remains problematic for many women, with some describing this a postcard lottery. In your position statement plan, consider barriers to access, (such as geography, stigmatisation) and the role the health care system and the nursing profession in increasing access. Using the critical thinking framework as a guide, you will: -identify important background and contextual evidence from a range of sources: identify why this health issue may be controversial and what actions, interventions, regulations etc. have been implemented in the past. What are the controversies and uncertainties associated with this significant health issue? How does this affect you as a nurse? -Consider alternate evidence: what other points of view could be considered? What other evidence, interventions or actions could have or have been used? Can you identify at least two distinct positions? -Can you comfortably advocate for one of these positions? Does the position you are considering adopting align with current nursing standards and codes of conduct? -At this planning stage you are reviewing different positions on this topic to help you develop your case to justify your position. Your evidence will be used to persuade the audience (in this case, the Federal or State Health Minister) of the benefits of your position. You will need to review the literature and conduct research to provide background context to the health issue, review evidence from both sides of the debate, and develop a position.
