Guided reflection | NURS 8100 – Healthcare Policy and Advocacy | Walden University
The knowledge I have acquired from this research has provided me with a better understanding of how to effectively engage in policy advocacy. Specifically, I now understand the importance of utilizing evidence-based change proposals and gathering support from relevant stakeholders in order to build momentum for my cause. Additionally, I am more aware that public relations activities can be used to reach external audiences who may not be familiar with the issue and help create a groundswell of support.
Moving forward, I plan on leveraging these strategies when advocating for policy changes related to my chosen topic. This includes researching current policies and identifying areas where improvements could be made; finding or creating data which supports my proposed changes; connecting with key individuals who can lend their expertise or provide resources; and developing an effective communication plan that can be utilized throughout the process. By following this approach, I am confident that I will be able to make meaningful progress towards accomplishing the goals of my campaign.
