Introduction:
When nurses establish partnerships with leaders in service-based community organizations, improved health outcomes may occur. Strategic partnerships can address major health concerns in an at-risk population. Through collaborative and committed efforts, improved health outcomes of a culturally and diverse will result.
The education initiative you will design focuses on the primary prevention of a community health problem that you view as a health concern in a vulnerable population. The data you have you gathered by assessing the overall health of your community will suggest an area that is amenable to nursing intervention.
Directions:
Based on your assessment of population health risks you will develop a formal teaching plan. You will use the template provided in Course Resources for your teaching plan.
In the introductory information you will:
- Identify the population of interest.
- Provide concise information about the population-based health risk with supporting data.
- Identify the consequences of the problem (if not addressed).
- Identify the community leader who you will collaborate with to support your plan.
- Prepare to address any faulty reasoning or unfounded assumptions about the health concern.
- Identify the presentation format and setting where the education will occur.
The teaching plan will include content related to the following:
- Three learning objectives that address prevention or reduction of problem
- Three brief overviews of teaching content to address each learning objective
- Three desired health outcomes
NOTE: Please refer to the Learning Activity to prepare for writing learning objectives.
