Study Notes
Community Health Nursing Study Guide
- Primary Focus: Focuses on populations, not individual patients.
- Key Influences: Health behaviors of community members are the primary driver of community health.
- Current Issues: Aging population and increased rates of chronic medical conditions.
Levels of Prevention
- Primary Prevention: Preventing illness through vaccination and health education.
- Secondary Prevention: Early detection and treatment through screening programs.
- Tertiary Prevention: Reducing the impact of established disease through rehabilitation.
Risk Factors
- Modifiable: Factors that can be changed, including smoking, diet, and exercise.
- Nonmodifiable: Factors that cannot be changed, such as age and genetics.
Food Deserts
- Defined as areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious food.
Microscopic vs. Macroscopic Approach
- Microscopic: Focus on individuals or families.
- Macroscopic: Focus on populations, laws, and broader systemic changes.
Upstream Thinking
- Focuses on preventive measures to improve future population health.
- Examples: Federal grants for health promotion, taxing cigarettes, age limits on alcohol consumption, surgeon general warnings on alcohol use.
Health Disparities
- Differences in access to care and treatment outcomes among populations.
Ethical Principles
- Distributive Justice: Fair distribution of healthcare resources.
Health Promotion Theories
- Pender's Health Promotion Model: Explains why individuals choose specific health behaviors.
- Health Belief Model: Focuses on the perception of illness threat, seriousness, and benefits of action.
- Transtheoretical Model of Change (Stages of Change):
- Precontemplation
- Contemplation
- (and other stages)
Important Figures in Public Health
- Lillian Wald: Founder of Henry Street Settlement, providing social services and healthcare in Manhattan.
- Florence Nightingale: Founder of modern nursing, impacting public health through sanitation and improvements in patient care.
Alcohol Use
- Standard Drink Equivalent: Understanding typical alcohol content in beverages.
- Risks: Short-term risks (accidents), versus long-term risks (liver disease).
Sleep Hygiene
- Promoting healthy sleep patterns and routines.
Epidemiological Concepts
- Epidemiological Triangle:
- Host: Person affected by a disease
- Agent: Cause of the disease (bacteria, virus)
- Environment: Factors that allow the disease to spread.
- Prevalence: Total number of existing cases in a population at a given time.
- Incidence: Number of new cases over a specific period.
Nursing Process in Community Health
- ADPIE Method:
- Assessment: Conducting community health needs assessments, interviewing community members.
- Diagnosis: Identifying health-related issues
- Planning: Creating SMART health goals.
- Intervention: Using surveillance and health promotion strategies.
- Evaluation: Measuring success compared to similar agencies.
Community Assessment Tools
- Windshield Survey: Observing a community to assess health needs.
- Vital Statistics: Records of births, deaths, marriages, and other health-relevant information.
- U.S. Census Bureau: Source of demographic data every 10 years.
Education in Community Health
- Health Literacy: Ability of patients to understand and use health information.
- Teaching to Adult Learners: Tailoring health education by understanding their life experiences and learning needs.
- Teach-back Technique: Ensuring understanding by asking the patient to repeat back the health information.
- Learning Styles: Recognizing various learning methods (visual, auditory, kinesthetic).
Participation and Assessment of Learning
- Participation: Gauge of whether education leads to behavior changes.
- Assessment of Learning: Long-term changes in knowledge and behavior showing educational success.
Key Legislation
- Hill-Burton Act: Increased the number of hospital beds in the U.S.
Physical Activity Recommendations
- Aerobic Activity: 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity.
Other Factors
- Attack Rate: Percentage of exposed individuals becoming ill.
- Mortality: Death rate.
- Morbidity: Rate of illness or disease.
