A Reaction Paper About Aftershock (2022)
The storyline of the film "Aftershock" is very interesting and
inspiring and it has a strong connection with nurses. It is essential for nursing students to analyze the problems the movie raises and consider the lessons it teaches.
The avoidable deaths of Omari Maynard and Bruce McIntyre's
partners are among the film's primary issues. The movie calls into question, among other things, the effectiveness of prenatal care, the accessibility of emergency obstetric facilities, and the standard of patient-provider communication.
The documentary also discusses the problem of maternal health
in the United States, focusing especially on the disproportionately high death rates of women of color in the Black and Brown communities. It encourages us to investigate the social aspects of health, which can have a big influence on people's ability to get high-quality healthcare. These include racism, poverty, and unconscious bias.
As a nursing student, the experiences outlined in "Aftershock"
have the possibility to significantly affect how I treat patients. First of all, the movie makes me appreciate the value of empathy and attentive listening. I can establish a stronger bond with patients and give them treatment that is specific to their needs and situations by really listening to and comprehending their tales and experiences.

The significance of lifelong learning and staying up to date on
evidence-based methods is also emphasized in the movie. I can give my patients the most modern and efficient treatment possible by staying up to speed on the latest research and best practices in maternal healthcare. This entails being informed on the most recent recommendations for treating and avoiding difficulties during delivery as well as the societal factors of health that may have an effect on a patient's quality of life.
All things considered, "Aftershock" is an important reminder of
the influence that nurses may have on their patients' lives. It motivates me to treat patients with kindness, cultural understanding, and a dedication to advancing health equality. I may aspire to be a nurse who not only offers excellent care but also fights for structural changes that will enhance everyone's overall health outcomes by taking lessons from the situations shown in the movie.
