Study Notes
Community Health Nursing Process
- Needs Assessment: A process for gathering information about a target community or group, including demographic data, surveys, and interviews.
- Health Needs Assessment: A systematic method for collecting information to identify, analyze, and prioritize health needs of individuals, families, and populations.
- Community Health Needs Assessment: Identifies community strengths, resources, and capabilities to address needs of children, youth, and families and to identify major risk factors affecting health.
- Components: Health status, health resources, and health action potential.
- Health status: Population health based on morbidity, mortality, and fertility rates, influenced by social, economic, and environmental factors (poverty, pollution, racism, housing inadequacies).
- Health resources: Formal and informal assets (structures, agencies, individuals) within a community that promote well-being.
- Health action potential: Communities' capabilities to address health concerns, including collaboration with healthcare professionals, community members, and other agencies.
Approaches to Conducting Community Assessment
- Comprehensive needs assessment: A systematic process to gather data across all community aspects to identify current and potential health problems. Best suited for initial community health assessments.
- Problem-oriented assessment: A focused approach identifying specific community health problems and gathering information from potentially vulnerable populations. Best used when the nurse is already familiar with the community or addressing a specific problem.
Tools for Community Assessment
- Collecting primary data:
- Observation: Rapid observation (windshield survey, walking through community); participant observation where the nurse immerses themselves in community life.
- Surveys: Necessary when information is lacking about specific groups or populations.
- Informant interviews: Discussions with key community leaders, formal and informal leaders, or community members.
- Community forums: A public meeting where community members discuss and share issues related to health problems.
- Focus group: A small group discussion with 6-12 participants used to gain in depth understanding of issues affecting specific groups.
- Collecting secondary data:
- Registry of vital events: Data regarding births, deaths, marriages, and other significant events.
- Health records and events: Data regarding health issues and health-related events (hospital records, case records).
- Disease registries: Tracking of specific diseases within a population.
- Census data: Official population count.
Community Diagnosis
- A process collecting community data to identify factors affecting illness and death, developing interventions, and implementing community health nursing strategies.
- Types: Comprehensive (overall information about community); Problem-oriented (focused on specific problems).
- Elements of Comprehensive Community Diagnosis:
- Demographic characteristics (population size, composition, distribution).
- Socio-economic and cultural variables (communication networks, transportation, education, and economic conditions).
- Environmental indicators (water supply, waste disposal, air and land pollution).
Planning of Community Health Nursing Services
- Steps in planning: Situational analysis, goal and objectives setting, strategy/ activity setting, and evaluation.
- Factors affecting planning processes: Existing policies and legislation, technology, economic resources, and conflicts with other programs or institutions.
- Prioritization of problems, considering nature, magnitude, modifiability, preventive potential, and social concern.
Evaluation Process of Community Health Nursing Services
- Key components: designing health programs and services, budgeting, creating a time plan, establishing evaluation methods, collecting and analyzing data, preparing report, and feedback.
- Approaches: structured, process, and outcome evaluation.
- Evaluation considers utility, feasibility, and propriety (respect for participants, transparency, and accountability).
