I. Introduction (1-2 slides; not more than 7 bullets per page)
Choose a target population group (hispanics) in your community. Provide a brief introduction that identifies the demographics for the city where your target population lives (Miami).
II. Description of Your Target Population (1-2 slides)
Compose a detailed description of your chosen target population (hispanics) In this section you will describe the demographic characteristics of your chosen target population, including the population’s socioeconomic status, vital statistics, education level, religion, and occupations. Include a table, graph, and/or figure display that includes relevant demographic data for your target population.
III. Comparison of Sentinel City Demographic Data (1 slide)
Compare the demographic data of Sentinel City with the demographic data from the city where your target population is located (Miami). You should present this information in a clear to understand table. It is also available within the the Sentinel City simulation.
IV. Key Health Concerns or Issues (3 slides; 4-6 bullets per slide)
Present a list of the top 3 health concerns for your target population. Provide a brief description of these concerns and include data from you target population city that supports the rationale for selecting these health concerns. Select one of the three health concerns you identified and state why you decided to develop an intervention that addresses this particular health concern/issue. Include the Healthy People 2030 objective that relates to your identified health concerns.
V. Community Health Nursing Diagnosis (1 slide)
Develop a community health nursing diagnosis based on your analysis of the demographic and health status data that you gathered
Your community health nursing diagnosis should be written using the following format:
Increased risk of (disability, disease, etc.) among ( community or population) related to (disability, disease, etc.) as demonstrated in or by (health status indicator, or etiological/causal statement).
Examples:
Increased risk of obesity among school age children related to lack of safe outdoor play areas for children as demonstrated by above average BMI rates.
Increased risk of depression among persons with a physical disability related to the lack of handicap accessible facilities and social isolation as demonstrated by high suicide rate
VI. A & B. Intervention to Address the Diagnosis (1-2 slides)
Describe your proposed intervention that will address the community health nursing diagnosis for your target population. You may choose to develop your own intervention, or modify one that was recommended by the Task Force on Community Preventive Services (TFCPS).
To view recommended interventions, visit the TFCPS website at About the Community Preventive Services Task Force and select the topic you plan on addressing for your intervention. (Note: at the bottom of most topic pages on the TFCPS website there is a sample on how to cite the webpage. After reviewing the topics, click the “Resources” tab then click “Fact Sheets”. Here you may find fact sheets to share with your mentor at your practice learning site.)
Whether you modify an existing intervention or develop one of your own, you must discuss why this intervention will work for you target population or why you needed to modify it to make it work for your target population. Include advantages, population fit, and barriers in use of the intervention. You should include the long-term goals, two short-term measurable objectives, and the required resources such as: time, equipment, finances, etc. related to this intervention. [Note: you are not required to carry out your intervention but may present it to your practicum site mentor]
VII. Evaluation Plan (1-2 slides)
Describe your method for evaluating the objectives of your intervention (for example, pre/post-test, survey, questionnaire, phone interview). Include one long term goal and two short-term measurable objectives.
Example of goals and measurable objectives:
Goal – To increase my potential for promotion at my place of employment
Objective – Complete all undergraduate nursing courses with a B+ or higher
Objective – Complete the American Sentinel University BSN program before 2020
Goal – To learn about public health nursing
Objective – Describe community health levels of prevention
Objective – List the 8 subsystems of a community
