Milestone 3: Intervention and Evaluation

Purpose

The purpose of this PowerPoint presentation is to provide an opportunity to develop a community health nursing intervention and evaluation plan for a community health problem that you identified in your community (described in Milestone 2: Vulnerable Population Assessment). You will apply the components of the nursing process to assist this vulnerable population and develop a proposal that could be presented to community leaders.

Course Outcomes

This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.

CO1: Apply principles of nursing theory to the public health system by analyzing determinants of health and the public health intervention wheel. (PO 1)

CO3: Plan prevention and population-focused interventions for vulnerable populations using professional clinical judgment and evidence-based practice. (PO 4, 8)

CO4: Evaluate the delivery of care for individuals, families, aggregates, and communities based on theories and principles of nursing and related disciplines. (PO 1)

Due Date: Submit your assignment to the appropriate basket in the Dropbox by 11:59 p.m. MT Sunday of Week 6.

Points: 225 points

Scenario

You are a community public health nurse (C/PHN) working with the vulnerable population you identified in Milestone 2. You will choose a specific community health role that would serve this population. You have analyzed the data collected from your windshield survey and vulnerable population assignments (the first two milestones) and identified one community health problem that a nurse can impact. Now, review the scholarly literature or scholarly websites listed below and identify one specific evidence-based nursing intervention that has the potential to improve the health of this group. Then develop a proposal to implement this intervention and a plan to evaluate the outcomes of this intervention. Create a PowerPoint that you could use to present to an organization in your community to request approval for funding and support for this intervention. (You are not required to implement the intervention or present your PowerPoint, though you may want to consider implementing your project in the future).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

The public health intervention wheel

Introduction

The public health intervention wheel is used to map out the process of a public health intervention. This can help you understand how to promote or implement a health care policy, how to allocate resources, and how effective your efforts will be in reaching your target population.

The public health intervention wheel has 8 sections

The public health intervention wheel has 8 sections.

• Policy development: This section includes the creation of laws, regulations and policies that enable the implementation of effective public health interventions.

• Policy promotion: Achieving high levels of coverage for a particular intervention requires both information provision and advocacy activities at all levels (e.g., through community meetings or workshops). Implementation can be enhanced by providing training to health care providers on how best to implement an intervention in their own facilities. There also needs to be credible information about public health issues available for people seeking answers from local government offices or other sources such as radio stations or newspapers

A. Policy development

Policy development is the process of creating policies that guide public health practice. It is a collaborative process, where key stakeholders and partners (e.g., government agencies, health care providers) work together to develop effective solutions for addressing a complex issue.

Policy development occurs in several stages:

• Planning – This stage involves identifying the problem or opportunity that you want to address through your intervention strategy using research evidence; developing policy options; determining who will be involved in developing these options; and creating an action plan outlining how you’ll implement them.* Implementation – This stage includes planning how best to implement your interventions based on what you learned during planning.* Evaluation – At this point we need evidence from our program/intervention(s). We can evaluate its success by measuring outcomes such as costs-benefits ratio versus expected outcomes.* Revise/Refine – If needed revisions should occur so that we can do better next time around!

B. Policy promotion

Policy promotion is the process of communicating and advocating for health policies. It can be used to influence the actions of individuals, organizations and governments.

A wide variety of methods are available to policy promoters, including social marketing and public relations; advertising or lobbying; public opinion research; political action committees (PACs); advocacy groups like consumer organizations, consumer coalitions and associations such as Consumers International (CI), American Public Health Association (APHA) etc., business associations like Business Roundtable (BRT)/National Association of Manufacturers/American Chamber of Commerce Executives etc., special interest groups such as medical societies like American Medical Association (AMA)/American Ophthalmological Society etc., professional societies like American College of Physicians/American Dental Assistants Association etc..

C. Enabling legislation and regulations

Legislation and regulations are the legal framework that supports public health interventions. The law is made by elected officials in government, and it can be changed by them as well. The laws and regulations you need to know about are:

• Who is responsible for making the laws and regulations?

• What do they say?

• Are there any loopholes in these rules?

D. Resource allocation and management

Resource allocation and management is the process of allocating resources to achieve a goal. It’s also known as resource allocation, lead time and control in other sectors. Achieving this can be difficult when there are multiple stakeholders with different objectives and needs who may not share the same vision for how to allocate their resources.

Resource managers must manage both financial and non-financial resources such as time, people, information and materials in order to meet organizational goals while considering costs within the organization’s budget constraints or legal requirements (such as environmental compliance).

E. Public awareness and support

Public awareness and support is important for public health interventions. This can be done by spreading the word about an issue, educating the public, or providing resources so that people know what they are doing and how it will help them.

F. Community involvement and mobilization

Community involvement is an important aspect of public health, because it can increase the effectiveness of interventions. In order to be successful, community participation must be sustained over time.

Community involvement can be used to increase the effectiveness of public health interventions by involving people in decision-making processes and helping them learn about their own health needs and concerns.

G. Linkages with health care providers, organizations and institutions

The public health intervention wheel is a tool that can help you see the connections between your efforts and broader goals. It builds on the knowledge and skills you’ve already developed, so it’s not necessary to start from scratch.

The next time you sit down with colleagues, ask them what they think about this idea of “linkages with health care providers, organizations and institutions.” You may find that there are people who have strong opinions about what kind of public health strategy should be used for an issue or problem—and those opinions may very well reflect existing biases in our society (such as those found in current public health initiatives). But if we begin by listening carefully instead of arguing over details, we can find common ground on which to build our response together!

H. Health care provider and community-based service delivery

A community-based service delivery system is one in which the health care provider and community are partners. In this type of model, the patient is involved in the decision-making process and has a say in who will provide care.

The public health intervention wheel describes how to use these two types of interventions together:

• Providers – Your doctor can help you develop an action plan that includes lifestyle changes and physical activity recommendations as part of your weight control plan. You may also benefit from joining a support group or starting a walking program at work or school (see section on Physical Activity).

• Community – A local recreation department may offer healthy choices at its facilities including swimming pools, recreational trails and parks that offer opportunities for outdoor exercise such as jogging or walking around town instead of driving everywhere else like we do now with our cars!

Conclusion

The public health intervention wheel is a tool that can be used to guide policy development and implementation in many areas of the world. It provides an overview of all the steps needed to create effective public health policies, including how they should be framed, developed, promoted and enforced. The wheel also emphasizes the importance of bringing stakeholders together with meaningful decisions made about public health issues.
