Overview
In this Week 5 assignment, you will take the next step in the nursing process when you plan a health promotion intervention which addresses your community health needs diagnosis.
You have completed a community assessment and analyzed and diagnosed community concerns and/or conditions. It is now time to take the next step in the nursing process and develop a plan to address the community health diagnosis. You will develop a goal statement, and objectives and strategies for reaching that goal. You will identify a Health Promotion Model (presented in week 1) to help design those objectives and strategies.
Addressing a community need is never done by just one nurse alone. A group of dedicated stakeholders and interprofessional health promoters and problem solvers work together to develop a plan they will be involved in implementing. In this assignment, you will identify the stakeholders who would be involved in implementing the Health Promotion Plan.
Objectives:
For this assignment, you will:
Review your community health diagnosis and its etiologies and identify a focus of a Health Promotion Intervention.
Develop a plan for a Health Promotion Intervention which includes use of a Health Promotion or Nursing Model and identification of stakeholders.
Steps
You will review the community health diagnosis you developed and identify the focus of your health promotion project.
To prepare for this assignment, under Materials above, refer to How to Write a Plan for tips on how to write goal, objective, and strategy statements.
In a written document, you will:
State the problem identified as written in Week 4 including the evidence and conditions related to the problem. Review instructor feedback from week 4 to ensure the problem can be addressed within the scope of this assignment.
State who the focus (aggregate) of the health promotion will be, for example, your whole community, a group within it, or select individuals.
State a goal for your health promotion project.
The goal must be related to the diagnosis and within the scope of a CHN (see the Tips section below for examples.)
List at least ONE objective for addressing the goal.
Objectives would be ways in which you can reach the goal. There might be far more than just one idea for how to reach the goal, but you are only required to list one. The example paper (linked above under Materials) gives you an indication of how a student might implement only a portion of the full plan you create.
Identify a Health Promotion Model (Week 1) you will use to develop your plan.
Using the language of the selected Health Promotion Model, identify two strategies for addressing the one objective you have listed. Strategies must be within the scope of a CHN.
Identify stakeholders who would be involved in implementing each strategy.
AGAIN: Ensure that your goals/objectives/strategies are within the scope of a community health nurse and “doable.”
Remember that not only is this a paper you are turning in for a school assignment, but it is also a “documentation” of your planning efforts. Just as you document your plan in your acute care nursing practice, Health promotion nurses must document their plans as well.
5. Your Planning section will eventually be added to your Assessment and Windshield Survey, and your Diagnosis & Analysis in week 7 to create a complied document. Each section will have its own introduction, but you will use the title page and running head that you created in Weeks 2 & 3 and 4. The heading for this section should be:”Planning.” Use the template in “Materials Needed” below to create this component of the process paper.
6. As in all formal written paper assignments, your paper should be in APA format and should include:
Title page
Brief introduction
Body of the paper: For this assignment, the body of the paper will include the components of a health promotion plan including your stated diagnosis, a goal, objective, a health promotion model associated with your plan, TWO strategies to address the diagnosis, and the stakeholders impacted/involved in implementing the strategies.
Brief conclusion related to this component (planning) of your Health Promotion project.
Reference page with references in APA format. Resources must include at the minimum (but you will have many more):
A peer reviewed scholarly resource
