Community Needs and Health Screening Initiative
Assignment instructions: 1. Go to the site below (USPSTF A/B recommendations) and select one of the recommendations, ,which ever one seems interesting to you. If you want to build off of the one you selected in Unit 2 you may, as long as it was an A or B recommendation. 2. Go to the site below (CDC Physical Activity Guide, starting at page 43), and select a model/theory that you think fits with your recommendation. An example would be: Theory: Relapse prevention Intervention: Smoking cessation counseling State the theory and any relevant info you find about the theory. State why the theory applies to your screening intervention and how you will use it when applied to your intervention (screening recommendation) 3. Follow the instructions and write a plan for carrying out this screening recommendation and keep the format that is in the assignment instructions. 4. 4. A lot of people miss adding the cost analysis for carrying out this plan. Even if you are just guessing/estimating, please make a chart or section where you estimate the cost of rental space, paper for flyers, food, any other resources you may need with a grand total at the bottom. Links/Supplemental Info: Good resource for Unit 4 and other assignments as needed. https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/ https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/physical/handbook/pdf/handbook.pdf ( Theories/Models start page 43) https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Name/uspstf-a-and-b-recommendations/ For this Assignment you will pick one recommended screening from United States Preventive Task Force A and B Recommendations. An initiative is a project, an event, so something in the community is ideal. Workplace location for employees is fine too. Please include the following suggested level one headings so content is clear and easily identified. Theory or Conceptual Model Choose a theory or conceptual model that you think might work for your initiative and explain the theory or model here. You may choose to independently research your model to help you explain its application to your initiative. If you have found another model you will like to use, not listed, contact your instructor. Screening Purpose Discuss why it is important to screen for this condition. This is where you address your community assessment and the reason for this need in your community/ population choice. Support your stance with statistics and information, ideally related to the location and population. Population Clearly address the demographics that are being screened; where they live, state, county, ages, races included etc. Screening Activity This section is what you are doing at the screening and should completely align with the screening guideline for the condition. Also all health promotion screenings include some brief prevention education component. Outcome Goals Bullet a few specific goals here. What do you hope to accomplish with your screening? Location Briefly explain where you are doing this. It should be very specific (e.g., Senior Citizen Center in Monroe Co on Saturday). Think about what kind of facility or area you will need. Include comments explaining how this location meets the needs of your target population and screening choice. Cost This is the cost for you to develop and conduct the initiative. It is best displayed as a brief Word table showing what it costs you to conduct the screening; paper, equipment, rental s etc. Volunteers are fine, but everything is not free. Students must demonstrate they can develop a cost estimate for a community screening intervention that is realistic and takes into account financials. If there is a cost for the attendees that should go here as well. Summary Provide a summary of your screening, general benefit to the community and why it is important. Masters-prepared nurse educators, leaders, nurse practitioners and all specialty nursing fields are contributors to health promotion in populations across the life span. This Assignment is focused on preventive screening applications in the community, workplace or school settings. You should be able to apply this knowledge to their specialty focus as it relates to health promotion and epidemiology. This should be a 3-4 page paper, excluding title page, and references. A person should be able to read your paper and understand fully what you are screening, where, when, the costs and how it is supported in the guideline. Ideally a person would be able to duplicate your screening initiative, based on the clarity you present. This paper should adhere to appropriate 6th edition APA format. A minimum of 3-4 sources should be used.
