...Nguyen Grand Canyon University Concepts in Community and Public Health NRS-427V Judith Crook January 22, 2015 COMMUNITY TEACHING SUMMARY Introduction: In Seal Beach health and rehabilitation center, most of patients are in the 50s and the majority have problems with controlling the blood pressure. Even though there are medical interventions such as antihypertensive medications, most of patients have not understood the important of other restrictions and activities or many other interventions to control the blood pressure. Therefore, the proposed teaching plan provides patients the essential knowledge of how to control hypertension and additional interventions after discharge including a healthy diet and a active lifestyle. However, there are some barriers during introducing the teaching plan to the community or encouraging patients to make lifestyle changes. This paper describes the experience after the hypertension teaching session, the audience’s response, and better approach which can be done to improve the audiences’ health. Epidemiological Rationale for the Topic: According to data from the CDC, more than 67 million (1 in every 3) adults in the U.S. have lived with high blood pressure problems; 53% of those have been controlled by hypertensive medical advice. In California, an estimated of 27% adults have hypertensive problem in 2009 ("CDC," 2014). In 2010, hypertension are one of the most popular health problem in many communities across the U.S. with 38.9 million...

...Primary Prevention: Handwashing Education September 17, 2015 Primary Prevention: Handwashing Education Preventing a health problem before it occurs is a major goal of healthcare today. Health promotion, specifically primary prevention, is used to accomplish prevention of health problems, such as infections, before they occur (Institute for Work and Health, n.d.). “This is done by preventing exposures to hazards that cause disease or injury, altering unhealthy or unsafe behaviors that can lead to disease or injury, and increasing resistance to disease or injury should exposure occur” (Institute for Work and Health, n.d., para. 1). Providing communities with health education is the best way to satisfy primary prevention, and thus prevent an illness or disease from occurring. In order to provide appropriate education, the nurse must first assess a community of interest, and determine what health issues require the most attention. The nurse can then create a teaching plan to assist the community in preventing the identified health risk. This writer assessed the Harry Hoag Elementary School third grade class community in Fort Plain, NY. Based on the community assessment findings, handwashing education was determined to be the topic of focus for the Harry Hoag Elementary School third grade class. The community assessment, the epidemiologic reason for this topic, the teaching plan, and evaluation of the experience require a closer look. * Fort Plain is a small...

...Health Studies Group Presentation Reflective Essay Description We were placed into groups and tasked with planning a presentation on our given lifespan age group which was Adolescents. The presentation was to choose a health issue that we felt was relevant to our age group and then promote that health issue taking into account who it was aimed towards. My group consisted of myself, Charlene, Connie and Sue. We spent some time during class to plan and prepare and then had time outside of college to get together and discuss our presentation. We then had a morning on the day of presentations to finalise our plans. Feelings My initial feelings were of worry, stress and pressure over the amount of time we were allocated during class to prepare. Initially our group was made up of five people to include Louise. However, she left the course shortly after we were set the assignment and this added to my feelings of worry as to whether our presentation would be of a good standard. We didn’t have much class time to prepare as most of my group have outside commitments such as children to think about and prioritise I was concerned we wouldn’t be able to spend much time preparing and that this would affect the quality of our presentation. I had a few concerns over working with a certain group member as she had been involved in an altercation involving race and I didn’t want this issue to affect me directly. Evaluation The good points of my presentation were the fact that we were...

...permitted to use modern health care facilities and services including surgery, hospitalization, anesthesia, blood transfusions, and dental work. However, distance, lack of transportation, and cost can serve as barriers to accessing the health care delivery system” (Julia, 1996, p.27). In contrast with modern American culture, health promotion and disease prevention are not priorities among the Amish. Accordingly, immunizations for communicable diseases are accepted, but only about 58% of Amish children have received such immunizations (Julia, 1996, p.32). Furthermore, Amish are generally reactive, rather than proactive, regarding healthcare. Overall, health is highly valued in the Amish culture and they consider their bodies to be God’s temple. Nurses and other healthcare providers must develop open and trusting relationships with their Amish patients. This can start with a focus on family-centered care. Furthermore, the nurse needs knowledge of the Amish belief system and way of life to provide culturally sensitive care. Using empowering strategies will help to make the Amish feel more comfortable in the modern healthcare environment. It is important to ask the patient and their family for their preferences whenever possible. “By showing personal interest in an Amish person, the nurse can enhance credibility by gaining the client’s trust and confidence” (Yoder, 1997, p. 51).

...founding. I was fortunate enough to have made friends with a couple of individuals that were of indescribable assistance. First was the group that allowed me to present my platform at their booth during the founder’s day celebration,The Golden Girls for Glory (Faith Based Social Club). A group of ladies that, by virtue of age, are considered older adults. They belong to varying church congregations of various faiths but come together regularly for community based activities and sponsor many events. Secondly, one of the Golden Girl’s husbands runs a printing shop and donated his time and much of the printed material, not the least of which were the banners for the canopy on the booth at the venue for the festival. The organizers of the event provided the tote bags, canopy and chairs. A local restaurant supplier married to another Golden Girl donated disposable shot glasses upon which stickers were applied. The Golden Girls Event Coordinator is the best friend of my roommate and was struggling to find a theme for their booth this year, and I just happened to be present during her conversation about her dilemma. When I asked if she would consider allowing me to do my presentation as their theme we were all ecstatic. My chosen topic was entitled “HAVE A SHOT>>>ITS GOOD FOR WHAT AILS YOU” An educational presentation for the promotion of health and prevention of disease in older adults through immunizations.

...important aspects of a nurse’s role with patients. This is especially true of the community health nurse. The area of primary prevention and health promotion is gaining special popularity as educational material for nurses as healthcare is shifting towards heavily focusing on prevention of diseases and preservation of health. This teaching experience featured information about vaccines that would be pertinent to teach to parents of all ages and nationalities utilizing a childcare center in Tempe, AZ. The topic presented was about relevant information concerning vaccines that parents of children ages 0-10 years old would be interested in learning. The information was delivered via a power point presentation which included graphics, open dialogue, a quiz section at the end of the power point and a question and answer segment. The nursing diagnoses identified were, “risk for infection related to incomplete immunization series, knowledge deficit (parent) related to potential side effects of vaccinations and readiness for enhanced knowledge related to health promotion and vaccinations” (Clark, 2003). Traits to gauge readiness to learn were identified as, “motivation, maturation, past experience, activity, practice, reinforcement and transfer of learning,” (Knowles, 1990). In this teaching experience the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning is used through the creation of a power point presentation to show the information to the audience using both words and pictures.

...The Purpose of Health Promotion in Nursing Practice and the Nurses roles The World Health Organization, (WHO, 1986), defines health promotion as the process of enabling people to increase control over and to improve their health. As the concept of medicine and health evolved, so has the concept of health promotion. Health care providers including nurses, require an understanding of how economics, environment, culture, education, politics and psychosocial problems influence health, illness, lifestyle and behavior change. Nurses promote health in diverse setting such as hospitals, community, nursing homes, schools, and worksites. Health promotion activities may include raising awareness of health issues, providing information, motivating and persuading people to make changes in their lifestyle or equipping individual with the skills and confidence to make those changes (Naidoo, J. & Wills, ., 2000). The nurse, being on the frontline of patient care, has the ability based on education and experience, to be the driving force of health promotion activities. Nursing education traditionally directed towards the disease-oriented model, where the focus was on diagnosis, physical health and the relief of physical symptoms. It has now evolved to a more patient-centered model, creating a more holistic approach where individuals and families are empowered to make health decisions and are supported in their engagement of health promotion activities. No longer are patient told what...
