Care Coordination Health Education
Professional Context
Health education is any combination of learning experiences designed to help people in a community improve their health by increasing their knowledge or influencing their attitudes (WHO, n.d.). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2030 prompts action in health services accessibility, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence prevention, maternal, infant, and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse prevention, and tobacco use cessation or prevention.
Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments that are conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. Also, in times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (Flanders, 2018; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).
This assignment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to a hypothetical presentation of a health promotion plan.
By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:
Competency 3: Evaluate health policies, based on their ability to achieve desired outcomes.
Evaluate educational session outcomes in terms of progress made toward Healthy People 2030 objectives and leading health indicators.
Competency 4: Integrate principles of social justice in community health interventions.
Evaluate educational session outcomes and attainment of agreed-upon health goals in collaboration with participants.
Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead health promotion and improve population health.
Hypothetically present a health promotion plan to an individual or group within a community.
Scenario
For this assignment, you will conclude the clinical learning activity you began in Unit 3.
You will resume the role of a community nurse tasked with addressing the specific health concern in your community. This time, you will present, via educational outreach, the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in Unit 3 (your first assignment) to your fictitious audience. In this hypothetical scenario, you will simulate the presentation as though it would be live and face-to-face. You must determine an effective teaching strategy, communicate the plan with professionalism and cultural sensitivity, evaluate the objectives of the plan, and revise the plan, as applicable, and propose improvement for future educational sessions. To engage your audience, you decide to develop a PowerPoint presentation with voice-over and speaker notes to communicate your plan.
Instructions
Complete the following:
Prepare a 10–12 slide PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over and detailed speaker notes that reflects your hypothetical presentation. This presentation is the implementation of the plan you created in Assignment 1. The speaker notes should be well organized. Be sure to include a transcript of the voice-over (please refer to the PowerPoint tutorial). The transcript can be submitted on a separate Word document.
Simulate the hypothetical face-to-face educational session, addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected community individual or group.
Imagine collaborating with the hypothetical participant(s) in setting goals for the session, evaluating session outcomes, and suggesting possible revisions to improve future sessions.
Presentation Format and Length
You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or other suitable presentation software to create your slides (PowerPoint recommended). If you choose an application other than PowerPoint, check with your instructor to avoid potential file compatibility issues.
