Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to community and public health
with regard to health promotion, disease prevention, and environmental and public
safety. They have also been instrumental in shaping public health policy. Today,
community and public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans
of care to address local, national, and international health issues. The goal of community
and public health nursing is to optimize the health of individuals and families, taking into
consideration cultural, racial, ethnic groups, communities, and populations. Caring for a
population involves identifying the factors that place the population's health at risk and
developing specific interventions to address those factors. The community/public health
nurse uses epidemiology as a tool to customize disease prevention and health
promotion strategies disseminated to a specific population. Epidemiology is the branch
of medicine that investigates causes of various diseases in a specific population (CDC,
2012; Healthy People, n.d.).
•
As an advocate and educator, the community/public health nurse is instrumental in
providing individuals, groups, and aggregates with the tools that are essential for health
promotion and disease prevention. There is a connection between one’s quality of life
and their health literacy. Health literacy is related to the knowledge, comprehension,
and understanding of one’s condition along with the ability to find resources that will
treat, prevent, maintain, or cure their condition. Health literacy is impacted by the
individual’s learning style, reading level, and the ability understand and retain the
information being provided. The individual’s technology aptitude and proficiency in
navigating available resources is an essential component to making informed decisions
and to the teaching learning process (CDC, 2012; Healthy People, n.d.).
It is essential to develop trust and rapport with community members to accurately
identify health needs and help them adopt health promotion, health maintenance, and
disease prevention strategies. Cultural, socio-economical, and educational biases need
to be taken into consideration when communicating and developing an individualized
treatment and educational plan. Social, economic, cultural, and lifestyle behaviors can
have an impact on an individual's health and the health of a community. These
behaviors may pose health risks, which may be mitigated through lifestyle/behaviorallybased education. The environment, housing conditions, employment factors, diet,
cultural beliefs, and family/support system structure play a role in a person's levels of
risk and resulting health. Assessment, evaluation, and inclusion of these factors provide
a basis for the development of an individualized plan. The health professional may use a
genogram or sociogram in this process.
What is a genogram? A genogram, similar to a family tree, is used to gather detailed
information about the quality of relationships and interactions between family
members over generations as opposed to lineage. Gender, family relationships,
emotional relationships, lifespan, and genetic predisposition to certain health conditions
are components of a genogram. A genogram, for instance, may identify a pattern of
martial issues perhaps rooted in anger or explain why a person has green eyes.
What is a sociogram? A sociogram helps the health professional to develop a greater
understanding of these factors by seeing inter-relationships, social links between people
or other entities, as well as patterns to identify vulnerable populations and the flow of
information within the community.

Preparation
The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to plan a hypothetical clinical learning
experience focused on health promotion associated with a specific community health
concern. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why
that establish the foundation for an effective clinical learning experience for the
participants. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to
plan and negotiate individual or group participation. This assessment is the foundation
for the implementation of your health promotion educational plan (Assessment 4).
You will need to satisfactorily pass Assessment 1 (Health Promotion Plan) before
working on your last assessment (Assessment 4).
To prepare for the assessment, consider various health concerns that you would like to
be the focus of your plan from the topic list provided, the populations potentially
affected by that concern, and hypothetical individuals or groups living in the community.
Then, investigate your chosen concern and best practices for health improvement,
based on supporting evidence.
As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila
Health: Effective Interpersonal Communications activity. The information gained from
completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment. Completing activities
is also a way to demonstrate engagement.
For this assessment, you will propose a hypothetical health promotion plan addressing a
particular health concern affecting a fictitious individual or group living in the
community. The hypothetical individual or group of your choice must be living in the
community; not in a hospital, assistant living, nursing home, or other facility. You may
choose any health issues from the list provided in the instructions.
