...History of Community Nursing Matrix Historical Time Period Nursing Role in Community Major Health Issues Partnerships Used Watson’s Theory Past Period 1 1800-1900 (America’s Colonial Period) In 1800-1900, during America’s colonial period and the new republic, public health committee was concerned about the health and care of individuals in the community; in the early years of 1800, the care for sick people and the ideas of public well-being were influenced by the traditions of British immigrants. That was the motive for establishment of a system to care for sick, poor, aged, mentally ill and dependent patients based on the English model. Using the Law of 1601was a great medical privilege for poor communities, blind individuals, and those who did not have families. At that time, the problems surrounding poor communities included death, birth defects, and many other kinds of sicknesses; that was also the beginning of the industrial developments and mechanizations and population growth, which contributed to increased incidence of disease. In 1856, Florence Nightingale organized hospital nursing practice and nursing education, emphasized the benefits of public health nursing, and highlighted the job of nurses which includes health promotion and disease prevention. (Dieckmann, 2008, p. 21) In the early 1800s, nurses were responsible for providing care at home and mostly focused on ethical improvements rather than illness or disease prevention. The year 1813 was the starting point...

Discuss what evidence-based model or theory was used in each article and the end result. According to the Department of Health and Human Services (MacKay, Fingerhut, & Duran, 2000), more than 900,000 adolescents become pregnant each year. Three hundred thousand of these annual pregnancies occur in mothers under the age of 15, 78% are unplanned, creating multiple negative consequences for the adolescent and society.”(Pierangeli,L. 2006) This study addresses the community health nursing role in trying to reduce the number adolescent pregnancy by teaching students about abstance to prevent teenage pregnancy that abstained will also prevent STD. If a child hears the message about abstinence before they become sexually active it is received better. Therefore it reduces both STD and teenage pregnancies. “Worth the Wait is an abstinence education program designed for sixth through eighth grade students. It focuses on healthy relationship building, goal setting, and the challenges of parenthood. The WTW program consists of three main topic areas. They are: ‘healthy relationships,’ ‘parenting can wait,’ and ‘making good decisions. ”(Pierangeli, L. 2006) The Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB) (Ajzen, 1988, 1991; Ajzen & Madden,1986) is used in this study as a framework for reviewing the literature.

...Windshield Survey Reflection Shane P. Donald NUR/405 May 19, 2014 Cynthia Januale Windshield Survey Reflection A windshield survey was conducted of the Fall Creek community just north of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The focus of the survey was an initial assessment and overall impression of the community where the participating family lives. According to Stanhope and Lancaster, (2012, p.190) community is defined as a "social network of interacting individuals, usually concentrated in a defined territory". Individuals, grocery stores, and hospitals are just a few examples of what makes up a community. Community health refers to "the meeting of collective needs by identifying problems and managing behaviors within the community itself and the relationship between the community and the larger society" (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012, p. 401). Indicators used for assessment of community health include infant mortality rate, number of motor vehicle crashes, childhood poverty rates, lung cancer rates, and other data used to develop a broad definition. The Phrase "community as a client" refers to the focus of nursing in an integrative model for community health promotion. It is important to remember that community oriented care is population focused, addressing the complex mix of health problems, clients, and levels of care within the system. Partnerships in the context of communities as the clients refer to shared responsibility for outcomes between nursing and the...

...Health Education Plan NUR/405 October 10, 2011 Health Education Plan Educating the public is a role every nurse must participate in to promote, maintain, and restore health among a community. To accomplish such requires community members receive and have a practical understanding of health-related information (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2008). One method to accomplish such is to develop a health educational plan. The purpose of this paper is to create a health education plan based upon information collected from a windshield survey and Friedman family assessment conducted by a nurse in the community of Palmdale, California. Areas that will be discussed include, a description of the educational need based upon assessment findings, educational goals and objectives, educational methods that will be used to implement the health educational plan, and the methods applied to evaluate the educator and process used in the development and implementation of the health education plan. Identification of a Health Educational Need In conducting a windshield survey and Friedman family assessment, the nurse identified multiple educational needs. The priority educational need in common and identified among both the family and the community of Palmdale, California is the need for education on the maintenance of chronic illnesses. Determining what chronic illness to focus on in terms of development of the health educational plan however, presented more of a challenge. When observing...

C.H. is a 64 year old Caucasian female who was born with cerebral palsy and mental retardation. She has never been able to walk, and her mentation never progressed past the age of an approximately 4 year old child. She lived at home with her parents and two sisters and one brother until the age of 11 when she was institutionalized in a facility notorious for the mistreatment and neglect of its residents. The facility has long since closed, and in 1991, C.H. was placed with our organization, Community Vision Inc. (CVI). Her parents were both deceased by that time, and her sister D.H.C. assumed legal guardianship, with sister N.W. helping with her needs. CVI is a non-profit organization that assists disabled individuals to live as independently as possible, and enables them to purchase and live in their own homes if possible.

...Windshield Survey Reflection Jessica O. NUR/405 Healthy Communities: Theory and Practice March 28th, 2016 Cynthia Januale Community can be defined in many ways. According to Meriam Webster (n.d), there are 12 different ways that community can be defined. Community can best be defined as “a group of people who live in the same area (such as a city, town, or neighborhood)” ("Community," n.d). To most people, community is the area and people that surround the place they live and/or work. Community health is defined by Stanhope and Lancaster (2014) as “the meeting of collective needs through identification of problems and management of behaviors within the community itself and between the community and the larger society.” Community as client refers to the fact that the patient themselves is not always the only client. The community they live in and the resources available to them are also a part of the patient and the care that they need. Partnerships with different medical associations, community programs and other parts of the community as well as other people and citizens of the community are essential to the patient and their well-being. If there are no resources to help the patient’s needs, the patient becomes more at risk. The participating family’s community (La Verne) appears to be a somewhat upscale neighborhood with small town feel and values. The city appears to be very involved in its’ citizens well-being and has their best interest in mind, especially the...

...Community Health Reflection Community Health Nursing Reflection Veronica Hubbard NUR/405 June 25, 2012 Cindy Januale Community Health Nursing Reflection Community health nursing is a specialty field of nursing which care is provided to people in the community setting. A community health nurse can provide care to children and the adult population. As a result of the economic depression, more people in the community are becoming jobless, homeless, low-income, and uninsured. So the need for community health nurses has drastically increased. The child community health nurses’ role is concentrating on health promotion and prevention strategies. According to Contemporary Nurse Journal (2011), “the role is broaden to include multifaceted case management, home visiting, outreach programs, early identification and primary intervention of clients with psychosocial and mental health issues, group facilitation, the traditional one to one client contact and multidisciplinary team function (p. 72). The role for a community nurse in the adult setting is to prevent health problems in at risk individuals, promote disease prevention strategies, to provide care and available resources to needy individuals and families in the community. According to Stanhope and Lancaster (2012), “community health nursing practice is the synthesis of nursing theory and public health theory applied to promoting, preserving, and maintaining the health of populations through the delivery of...

The caring-healing practice is enveloped the whole, the person, the family, (to include children and distant family members), community and nurse and the hospital team). The values, ethics and moral ideals that support this practice is needed to establish a balance between all the ideas. Values should cover self-esteem, respect for others and love. What a person believes to be true are your values. These values are what needs to be used in the caring-healing practice. Morals are feelings based on what you believe to be right or wrong. Morals under the caring-healing practice cover the need to be empathetic, holistic when providing individualized care, dignity and being committed to caring and providing care that heals. Whether with a personal touch, sitting with someone, or just being in their presence, or visiting someone when you say you will visit them. The philosophy, theory and science that inform their creation and utilization cover a broad scope of things. Caring and healing should be based on health and wellness.
