Examine theoretical models and population health concepts to develop strategies and interventions to promote therapeutic relationships and patient centered health care across diverse populations.
PC-4.3: Apply concepts of multiculturalism and diversity to become an agent of change.
For this assignment, you will pick one recommended screening from the A and B Recommendations | United States Preventive Services Taskforce and develop a community based screening event. This is not an awareness only assignment.
You will examine theoretical models and population health concepts by developing a community screening event strategy and interventions promoting therapeutic relationships and patient centered health care across the diverse population.
Theory or Model
Identify and describe a health promotion theory or model, and explain how the model or theory is applicable to the initiative.
Population Assessment and Screening
Perform a community assessment on the county or city population you are screening:
● Identify the evidence based screening topic as an A or B preventive screening from the USPSTF. Identify the county and or city of the population. Describe local population characteristics numerically, including multi-cultural diversity, age and sex.
● Include rates of topic related risk factors, and align with the population in the guidelines. These may be behavioral, biological or social determinants of health.
● Include 2 components of topic-related community statistics numerically (e.g., mortality, prevalence).
● Provide a brief advocacy appraisal of the support in the community addressing: 1) screening rates and facilities, 2) related risk factor rates and 3) multicultural support in the population, via community organizations: American Cancer Society; ASISTA and/ or 4) any policy as applicable; county smoking policy; Medicaid services. Include any noted lack of advocacy.
Screening Venue
● Provide details of the community event, including three components: venue, time, and day (e.g Monroe County Senior Center at 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. 4/20/23).
● Include an explanation of setting appropriateness.
Screening Activity
The screening activity plan should align with the guidelines. The process includes:
● A single aim or objective of the screening event.
● Evidence-based measures or tests used, demonstrating alignment with guideline recommendations and are identified; both normal and abnormal
● A brief education component descriiption applying motivational interview techniques with 3 sample questions.
● Follow up and/or referral process as necessary.
Cost
Create a simple cost analysis for the event in a WORD table form that includes (but is not limited to) the six following items:
● Cost statement overview.
● Table to include
○ Estimated number of attendees
○ Testing instrument costs with source for pricing
○ Staff costs as appropriate for screening
○ Rental cost estimate
○ Simple supply costs
○ Any attendee cost
○ Total
You may use volunteer staff but not donations of key testing items. Cost analysis for feasibility needs to be demonstrated.
Summary
Provide a summary of your screening plan, the benefit to the community, and why it is important. Address concepts of multiculturalism and diversity to become an agent of change and improve health outcomes for the topic. Address your findings from your population assessment and advocacy appraisal, providing suggestions for future initiatives. Demonstrate strategies and how such interventions promote therapeutic relationships and patient centered health care across diverse populations.
Appendix: Education and Screening Announcement Flyer Features
● Attach a flyer as an Appendix to the paper.
● Ensure readability and clarity with considerations of health literacy
● Health information is evidence-based and present, along with screening information in layperson simple language.
● Patient centered content tone
● Includes the student’s name as the contact person
● Choose either a Word a template for a one page flyer or;
● A social media event announcement
○ Same criteria for content
○ Announcement to be private and non-shared status.
○ Uses students own social media account
○ Paste a screenshot to your Word document as Appendix.
Format expectations:
● Follow all assignment directions.
● Include an introduction and conclusion.
● Information in the paragraphs and overall paper are organized to convey the content to the reader.
● Paper length paper should be 3–4 pages of content.
● One page education flyer can be a Word document flyer template, or a screenshot of a non-public social-media event announcement
● Follows APA in paper format, reference page, in-text citations, or headings.
● Use four or more credible peer-reviewed sources.
A person should be able to read your paper and understand what you are screening, where, when, the costs, and how it is supported in the guideline, as well as the diversity and risk factor considerations, that are unique to the community. Ideally, a person would be able to duplicate your screening initiative based on the clarity you present.
Master’s-prepared nurse educators, leaders, nurse practitioners, and all specialty nursing fields contribute to health promotion in populations across the life span. This assignment is focused on preventive screening applications in the community. You should be able to apply this knowledge to your specialty focus as it relates to health promotion and epidemiology
