Fear of flying

Introduction

Lipley, Baker and Ouma   presents similar information based on the adverse effects associated with the fear of flying. Emergency Care Association requires new development framework in order to develop the trade and nursing union. The article by Baker also focus on health concern and asserts that  Aboriginal people in regional center such as Port Augusta need to be valued in terms of their health and implement  the postcolonial theory in  considering their well-being.  Ouma presents the adverse effect of fear of flying and presents a scenario where Weapons Safety Officer experienced symptoms during flight. Generally, the articles assert that the fear of flying is an issue of concern and measures should be taken in order to cater for the health of individuals so that they can arrive at their destination safely.

The Royal College of Nursing should take measures to develop and improve the ECA and Faculty of Emergency Nursing (Lipley, 2013).  Both ECA and FEN are important and they will play a significant role in Emergency Department by ensuring that there is a balance in nursing workload, there is balance in staffing level and ED will have the ability to assess the time needed for equivalent workforce in the department (Lipley, 2013). The tools are effective in that departmental and patients pathways will be improved and eliminate the disparity in staffing.  Other point is that both tools will support the professionals in emergency nursing and establish induction programmer which will bring benefit to people (Lipley, 2013). The government is also concerned with the outbreak of flu pandemic and in response; it is proving guidance as well as contingency planning to prevent the flu in affecting the life of people.

Baker asserts that the global expansion has made people to move from place to other to find a living and economic benefit but the appalling this is that lives of many people become uncertain. In other words, aboriginal people face various complexities in life and in this scenario, the author focuses on Aboriginal people in Port Augusta and takes into concern their health and social needs (Jenny, 2010). It is important to reinforce the intersectoral collaboration in order to bring substantial change to the health of Aboriginal people.  In presenting the topic of health in general, people should involve issues which has do to with human geography, home, place and other related issues. Focusing on the regional center, Port of August has a high population of Aboriginal people and the higher level is as a result of mining and energy (Jenny, 2010).  Both Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal people are experiencing poverty and poor health and these are issue which needs measures in order to create a strong Aboriginal community. In addition, young people lack interaction, have low social wellbeing, lack respect, lack confidence and social capital.  Generally, Aboriginal people in Port August are portrayed with a negative insight. These are issues which require response to ensure that these people are not isolated or discriminate due to color, culture or gender (Jenny, 2010). However, the developed companies from mining have implemented strategic measures to ensure that there is no social exclusion or economic issues affecting these people.  There is also public awareness campaign for the purpose of reinforcing employment opportunities.

  Focusing on fear of flying, Ouma (2012) presents important background information based on the adverse effects associated with fear of flying.  He presents a scenario which shows that WSO as a member of the fighter community asserts that personally he had experienced fear of the flight symptoms such as anxiety, muscle tension, low self-confidence and emotional distress (Ouma, 2012). He asserts that all these symptoms emerged due to bad wealthier, aircraft malfunctions and other uncontrollable factors.  Despite the fact that he uses cognitive behavioral therapy in treating the symptoms, he is unable to manage his stress. This clearly shows that though flying is the safest transportation method, the problem of fear of flying is not dealt with and failure to respond increases the risk of accidents and negative emotions which develops into psychological symptoms (Ouma, 2012). According to the article by Ouma, many people talks about ‘bad flight’ and a large number fears the crashing, closes spaces, heights and hijacking.  However, this is an issue which can be treated and in this case, education is very important as it informs the travelers about the physical safety and ways of reducing anxiety (Ouma, 2012). Behavioral therapies can also be effective in overcoming phobias. For example, systematic desensitization   identifies the stimulus hierarchy, provides coping techniques and develops the hierarchy of fears. Neuroscientists also asserts that fear of flight can be dealt with through the use of neuroception since it prevents the stress hormones (Ouma, 2012).

 Conclusion

The articles present similar information based on health and measures to improve the wellbeing.  Emergency nurses are required in providing emergency medical care.  RCN is planning to develop ECA and FED in order to ensure that patients arrive at their destination safely and in case of accidents they get rescue without delay. The articles have also touched on the wellbeing of Aboriginal people and assert that the re-location is also associated with negative healthy impact and other social problems and it is important to re-examine the postcolonial theory in order to effectively address the healthy problems
