The Problem of Malnutrition and Significance of Intervention Programs in Aboriginal Community: A Literature Review
Introduction
    Providing awareness and meeting the goals of quality of care to remotely living communities has been a challenge to nursing practices (Wise 2013; Herceg, 2015). In fact, the lack of availability of basic healthcare services results in the form of many complications associated with the overall wellbeing of the community people. The issue of malnutrition in Aboriginal To
es and Strait Islander people is one of such problems which need attention and nursing intervention in order to address the problem effectively. Also, it requires professional interventions, like the programs conducted by nonprofit organizations or the government projects, which can deal with the issue of malnutrition of people at professional level (Ride, 2018).
    Additionally, nursing interventions play significant role in keeping these remote communities aware about their diet patterns as well as about how to ensure healthy lifestyle by avoiding some routines like use of tobacco or by not following protocols of having regular checkup. It is more like structuring the knowledge which is driven from self inspiration to lead a healthy life but at the same time, it is guided by the nursing interventions that are not only frequent but also effective enough to deal with the problem of malnutrition (Gwynn et al, 2018).
Literature Review
    Briggs (2019) analyzes the problem of tobacco use and its impact over the lifestyle of Aboriginal people. The use of tobacco products is prevalent in the community for generations; it is implied that the Aboriginal families perceive it as conventional approach to intake tobacco products in any form. It affects their healthy and hinders the process of proper nutrition that the community people should have. The study suggests that there is a need of implementing the national tobacco control coordination into this community which is possible through reach in the community people. Nursing professionals can have this access to conduct the awareness programs within the communities (Brigs, 2019). They can reach out to the community people, apply monitoring techniques in their routine as well as they can see at which point, the positive interventions can be maximized to reduce the consumption of tobacco products. The study is useful in knowing the ways to implement healthy lifestyle based projects into the Aboriginal communities.
    Herceg, (2015) focuses mainly on the national nutrition standards and their implication to alleviate the lives of mothers, infants and young children in Aboriginal community. She provides extensive research that is based on previous studies which analyzed the data samples by observing the problems prevailing in the community related to malnutrition and the gaps in service deliveries, as per the norms of quality of care provided to these people. The overview of the study...
