OHIO UNIVERSITY

Description

The discussion board is aligned with the module objective "Discuss educational and community-based programs in Healthy People 2030." For this discussion you will review the learning theories discussed in your textbook beginning on page 125. Choose 1 theory that you believe would best fit the target population who are experiencing or at risk for a health problem you identified in module one.

As part of the discussion you will:

  • Review learning theories, principles and health education models (p.125), select one theory and apply to your diagnosis. 
  • Define the learning theory and describe its major components.   
  • Discuss how you might apply it when addressing one of the health problem for a target population in your community.  Narrow your population to a focused group, such as a classroom, church group or another reasonably sized group.
  • List 2 - 3 teaching strategies you could use for your aggregate. 

For example, if you have chosen childhood obesity as your identified health problem in week one, describe the learning theory that would work best with children ages 8 – 10, and explain why you believe that learning theory would work best with it.

Your initial post must be posted before you can view and respond to colleagues, must contain minimum of two (2) references, in addition to examples from your personal experiences to augment the topic. The goal is to make your post interesting and engaging so others will want to read/respond to it. Synthesize and summarize from your resources in order to avoid the use of direct quotes, which can often be dry and boring. No direct quotes are allowed in the discussion board posts.

Post a thoughtful response to at least two (2) other colleagues' initial postings. Responses to colleagues should be supportive and helpful (examples of an acceptable comment are: "This is interesting - in my practice, we treated or resolved (diagnosis or issue) with (x, y, z meds, theory, management principle) and according to the literature..." and add supportive reference. Avoid comments such as "I agree" or "good comment."

This population is just 8.3% of the total population in California while 0.99% of the total population in the United Sates. Although the county’s population is very small, the data obtained in this activity revealed that the county experiences key risks and concerns with regards to population health. To note, the identification of these risks is based on the correlated values that the variables have in this information, together with the data provided by reputable publications. Based on these correlation, it shows that San Diego County has two major leading causes of death. These include cardiovascular-related diseases and cancer. Also, the county’s risk indicator for prenatal care is relatively high as compared to other risk indicators which are obesity and insufficient physical activity. To be specific, the death rate for cardiovascular-related diseases is 228.1 per 100,000 persons. This rate is twice that of the indicated death rates of the other leading causes in Last updated 09/04/2021 © 2021 School of Nursing - Ohio University Page 3 of 5 NRSE 4540: MODULE 1 ASSESSMENT 2: WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT – COMMUNITY HEALTH DIAGNOSES TEMPLATE the list. Acknowledging that 14.1% of the county’s population is 65 years and older, it could be deduced that the rate at which the disease has caused death in the population of the county has reached that of the demographics of the younger individuals. This information is alarming as it is known that cardiac diseases are common among the elderly. According to Andersson & Vasan (2018), lifestyle habits account for the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease among young adults. The persistence of these lifestyle habits had led to the increase of the risk factors that influence cardiovascular-related diseases to even increase among the young adult population (Lopez et al., 2021). Moreover, since obesity and insufficient physical activity are persistent in the county, the expectancy of deaths related to cardiovascular disease could potentially even increase as obesity and insufficient physical activity are direct risk indicators of cardiac diseases. The next leading cause of death in the county is cancer. Based on the information provided in the death rate table, it shows that death rates (per 100,000 persons) for lung cancer and breast cancer are 33.8 and 25.2, respectively. Although the factors that contribute to breast cancer is diverse, early symptoms are manageable. Thus, early hospitalization could trim down the death rate caused by breast cancer. Referring to the information about public services and access to care, San Diego County is able to provide the necessary healthcare that the population needs to assess its health. Information about the importance of submitting to healthcare services is one of the main factors that limits individuals to apply to these services (Nies & McEwen, 2019a). On the other hand, the correlation of smoking to lung cancer attributes the death rate as caused by the cancer of the lung. The young population of the county makes it more reasonable for the prevalence of smoking to surge as one of the risk indicators that needs attention. According to Freedman et al. (2016), smoking at early age makes a person more vulnerable to severity of respiratory illnesses. Data shows that about 200 youth start smoking every day in the US. To further note, prenatal care is the highest risk indicator in the county at 43.6 per 100,000 persons. This information is also one of the biggest threats in the population of the county as this risk indicator is attributable to the increased risk of infant mortality. Basically, it shows that the Hispanic race has the highest infant mortality rate at 65.0 per 1000 live births. This occurrence is highly related to lack of knowledge about the importance of prenatal care among mothers (Partridge et al., 2017). Although healthcare access is not limited in San Diego County, the lack of dissemination of information about the importance of health checkups makes mothers at risk of healthcare problems and infant mortality. The lack of this knowledge creates the biggest barrier towards achieving a healthy population (Nies & McEwen, 2019b). Thus, it is significant that the dissemination of health information becomes one of the priorities to achieve the national objective of making people healthier and live longer.

Last updated 09/04/2021 © 2021 School of Nursing - Ohio University Page 5 of 5 Community Assessments and Epidemiology Discussion In my recent forages on social media, I came across the TikTok of a retired ER Tech who goes by the handle “Steveioe”. In some of his short “stories” he tackles the various scenarios that he encounters, and one that particularly struck me as both funny and sad (and happening in real life, too) was the girl (played by him) asking for refills of her birth control pills. She exclaims that the pharmacists never give “them” enough, later on saying that she and her boyfriend both take the pills. It is funny because we, in the healthcare field, know that birth control pills are taken by women, but it is also sad because it reflects the lack of information that many consumers have regarding their medications and healthcare in general. In the previous assignment, one of the glaring realities that I have seen is the term “lack of knowledge/awareness” or “incomplete education”. My first priority community health nursing diagnosis was the risks of cardiovascular-related diseases among young adults in San Diego County related to obesity, insufficient physical activity, poor health management, and lack of knowledge regarding proper healthcare as evidenced by cardiovascular disease as the major leading cause of death in the county. It is said that Americans are suffering fewer heart attacks as a whole, but heart attack rates for people below the age of 40 years old are going up. With the pandemic and restrictions in place, many young adults rely on too much takeout and fast food. Screen time has also increased a lot, and many jobs also lean towards the sedentary, especially with the workfrom-home scheme in place (Cleveland Clinic, 2019). Certain populations are at a higher risk of developing heart disease, which includes those who have existing heart defects or heartbeats, high body mass indexes, and diabetes. Poor management of these can increase the risk of cardiovascular-related diseases, and they can be further exacerbated by negative lifestyle choices, such as smoking, excessive drinking, and poor diet (LiveStories, n.d.). I personally believe that better implementation of health promotion and disease prevention activities, especially with the use of social media and other digital outlets, can help boost knowledge of young adults. History already showed that primary prevention strategies such as teaching about smoking cessation, reduction of dietary saturated fat intake, and hypertension control were successful in educating the public (Nies & McEwen, 2019).

Learning Theories Discussion
According to Knowles (1988-1989, as cited in Nies & McEwen, 2019), adults are able to
learn better when the environment is nonrestrictive, facilitative, and nonstructured. In community
health nursing, nurses have to develop certain teaching strategies that will motivate and pique the
interest of individuals, families, and communities, and encourage their active and full
