This study aims to optimize health leadership in preventing Covid-19 from an early age in the village. The author believes that health status is determined by treatment; prevention can be more effective and efficient. We collect public health literature from many databases of public health publications. We start from the journal Esavier, Medpub, Google Book, and several websites that discuss public health issues at home and abroad. We are targeting based data published in the last ten years to find the latest data and validity. The research involves a data coding system, high evaluation, and conclusion drawing in order to be able to answer research questions with high reliability. We conclude that health leadership is characteristic of how medical roles lead people to health. Value health and maintain it until community members find physical and mental health. The medical team minimizes stress by communicating openly and creating a healthy and safe environment for its citizens' creative thinking and expression. These results are helpful for the development of literature and public health applications.

The purpose of this paper is to consider the role of the lifeworld perspective in reducing inequalities in health and we explain how the public health practitioner can use this perspective to address public health issues with individuals and groups. We offer ideas for public health actions that are based on and deal with the lifeworld context of individual people or families. Each of the dimensions of the lifeworld temporality, spatiality, intersubjectivity, embodiment and mood are outlined and their significance explained in relation to health inequalities. Suggestions for action to reduce health inequalities are made and overall principles of lifeworld led public health practice are proposed by way of conclusion. The principles comprise understanding the community members’ lifeworld view, understanding their view of their potential, offering resources and facilitating empowerment, and sharing lifeworld case studies and lobbying to influence local and national policy in relation to both the individual and communities.

The purpose of this project was to create public health programming that focused on prevention techniques of the most common health issues that present among Veron’s child population. In May 2017, Fundación Grupo Puntacana opened a new children’s clinic in the informal urban area of Veron. Through the Oscar de la Renta Pediatric Clinic in Veron, we created public health messages to play in the waiting room. We collaborated with the children’s clinic doctors, had informal conversations with community members and leaders, and observed the operations of the children’s clinic to gain a better understanding of children’s health issues. Through visiting various areas of Veron, we filmed children and parents for our prevention video to demonstrate preventative techniques in the Veron context. Our goal was to create videos that encompass cultural sensitivities of the region as well as convey a clear health education message to parents and guardians. After the videos were created, we presented the videos to the doctors, various community members, and Fundación Grupo Puntacana representatives. The videos received positive feedback by all three parties. When creating public health messaging for a targeted audience in a community, cultural integration is important to consider in creating effective content. In addition, it is important to have conversations with various parties to obtain a full understand of social, economic, and other factors that affect the health of the community’s children.

The aim of the study was to describe and explore public health nurses’ perceptions of involvement and their attitudes concerning the mental health aspects of their work in schools. Furthermore, we wished to explore their need for useful approaches and training topics. The teenage years in particular are associated with an incidence of mental health problems such as depression. Public health nurses in schools have an extensive role in relation to health promotion and the prevention of both physical and mental health. A cross-sectional study with 284 public health nurses from 163 municipalities in Norway was carried out, using the Depression Attitude Questionnaire. The public health nurses reported various degrees of confidence and time spent working with mental health issues. Confidence was found to be related to further education and courses.

This book describes the expansion of EU power in health care and public health and analyses the implications of this expansion on EU health values and rights. The main conclusion of the book is that the EU is de facto balancing fundamental rights and values relating to health, implicitly taking on obligations for safeguarding fundamental rights in the field of health and affecting individuals’ rights sometimes without an explicit legal competence to do so. This brings to light instances where EU health policy has implications for fundamental rights and values without the possibility to challenge the exercise of power of the EU in human health. This begs the question of whether subsidiarity is still the most relevant legal principle for the division of powers and tasks among the Member States, particularly when EU policy and law involves the politically sensitive areas of health care and public health. This question draws out the parameter for continuing the debate on the role of the European Union in promoting its own values and the wellbeing of its peoples, in light of its ever-growing role in human health issues.
