Week 4 Discussion

Leading Health Indicators and STIs

Imagine that a group of nursing students wanted to learn more about the health behaviors of adolescents in their community. They decided to have students at the local high school complete a questionnaire about their health behaviors. After the adolescents completed the questionnaire, the nursing students reviewed the responses and tallied the results. They discovered that over half of the respondents engaged in risky sexual behaviors. They reviewed the literature, which stated that sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates in this population are on the rise.

The nursing students decided to educate the adolescents about safe sexual practices and prevention of STI transmission. The goal of the program was to decrease the number of adolescents engaged in risky sexual behaviors. The nursing students developed objectives and teaching strategies for this educational program:

To instill adolescents with an intrinsic motivation to become aware of their own risky sexual behavior through class discussions and cooperative learning exercises

To promote safe sexual practices with the adolescents through demonstration of appropriate safe sex practices and inquiry-guided instruction

To develop students’ positive sexual health behaviors through scenario-based case presentations and discussions

Review the Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicators (LHIs). Identify the LHI that best matches STIs and transmission through risky sexual behaviors.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Critique the objectives and teaching strategies used by the student nurses.

How do the objectives and teaching strategies address the identified LHI?

What action by the nursing students illustrates the planning phase of the health planning model? Refer to?Figure 7-2 in Community Health Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation.

Which system level is primarily being addressed through the educational program? Refer to Box 7-2 in?Community Health Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation.

What level of prevention are the nursing students applying in the educational program? Refer to your textbook for levels of prevention.

Week 2 Assessment  

Advocacy and Community Education

Exam Content

There are 2 parts of?this assessment. In Part 1, you will choose a health care law or policy at the state or national level, then?write a letter?of advocacy?to a state or federal legislator?for support of the health issue. In Part 2,?you will research a community agency of your choice. You will analyze current community needs and communicable diseases, developing an educational program for the selected organization.

Part 1: Advocacy Letter

Read Writing Letters to Elected Officials from the Community Tool Box.

Assume you are a public health nurse manager working for an organization in your state that garners support for key public health issues. The CEO of your organization has requested the following:

Identify 1 global health care issue that impacts health populations in your zip code through law or policy at the state or national level, for which it is crucial that continued funding be approved.

Visit the Healthy People 2030 website to help identify an issue.

Research the law or policy to determine:

The main purpose of the selected law or policy

The main population affected by this law or policy

How this law or policy affects the population it is intended to serve

The impact of current domestic and global issues on this law or policy

  Predict the need for advocacy (support of and strategic approach) for the selected health issue using data from a community health needs assessment (CHNA) report from a public hospital in your zip code and ISP reports.

Investigate the California State Legislature or United States Congress websites to determine if there is pending action or established policy supporting the identified health issue.

Identify 1 state or federal legislator representing your selected zip code. Search by address to identify your legislators on the California State Legislature or the United States Congress websites.

Determine the legislator's support for the health issue in your community. If necessary, call the legislator's office and ask an aide what actions are being taken on behalf of the community on that issue.

Write a letter of advocacy to the legislator on behalf of your organization regarding the health issue. Use the 4-paragraph format described in the Community Tool Box: 

Acknowledge the legislator. 

Write a compelling argument about the importance of the health issue in the local community. 

Provide data supporting your proposed strategy for the issue.

Establish yourself as a professional ally to the legislator.

 Format your assignment as a concise 350-word letter. Edit thoroughly!

Include a references page for the CHNA, ISP, legislative research, and legislator.

Note: You do not need to actually send the letter to the representative meet the requirements of this assignment.

Part 2: Community Education

In this part of the assignment, you will demonstrate your ability to analyze your local community. You will select and research an agency that focuses on current community needs and communicable diseases. You will prepare an outline for a program you might offer to the chosen agency. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, you would focus on teaching community members how to mitigate the virus and prevent further spread. In this assignment, you will educate an identified population about all local communicable diseases, such as TB, hepatitis, and STDs, as well as chronic illnesses, such as diabetes. 

Step 1

Choose a local community agency with whom you might work. Examples include but are not limited to: 

Elder day health 

Child daycare 

School setting 

Place of worship

Community clinic 

Health agency 

Homeless shelter or service 

Red Cross 

Insurance company case manager or public health nurse 

Prison 

 

 

Conduct a SWOT analysis of your chosen agency.

Prepare a 350-word summary of your SWOT analysis.

Step 2

Recommend an appropriate disease prevention teaching project that your chosen agency could offer to the local community. (1 clinical hour)

Summarize the public health issues facing the selected agency.

Select 1 issue and prepare an outline of the problem or issue faced.

Explain how your selected agency could address the issue.

Determine an appropriate teaching project to develop and potentially implement.

Prepare a 350- to 400-word summary of the disease prevention teaching project that the agency could offer.

Step 3

Present the teaching outline to the leadership of the community agency with whom you are working. (2 clinical hours)

Present the outline of your recommended disease prevention teaching project.

Conduct a discussion with appropriate agency personnel and obtain feedback regarding your presented teaching outline and how it might impact and be applied at that agency.

Compile your advocacy letter, the SWOT analysis, and the summary of the disease prevention teaching project for submission.

Week 4 Assessment  

Infectious Disease Trends and Public Health Teaching Project

Part 1: Nursing Student Presentation on Infection?Control

Understanding diseases present within the community allows public health nurses to prioritize health promotion and disease prevention strategies.

Explore the Healthy People 2030 website.

Review the Healthy People 2030 Objectives and Data.

Review the Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicators.

Assume you have been asked by the nursing supervisor at the community health clinic at which you work to research infectious disease trends as they relate to public health program planning and promotion. She wants you to prepare a presentation for nursing students at the local branch of the statewide university system. The presentation will focus on infection control.
