Study Notes
Intervention Wheel Components
- The Intervention Wheel includes components: population base, levels of practice, and public health interventions.
- Population base is divided into populations at risk and populations of interest.
- Three levels of practice: community, systems, and individual/family.
- 17 public health interventions are organized into color-coded wedges for clarity.
Community Priorities in Public Health Nursing
- The guiding principle of public health nursing practice is community assessment.
- Ongoing collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data are essential for assessing health status.
- Community assessment evaluates determinants of health to identify deviations from expected health outcomes.
- Prioritization is crucial due to limited community resources.
Collaboration in Public Health Interventions
- Collaboration falls under the orange wedge at the community level of the Intervention Wheel.
- Public health interventions are categorized and color-coordinated for effective planning and implementation.
- Interventions may occur independently or in sequence, depending on the needs addressed.
Role of Social Marketing
- Social marketing aims to influence behaviors and attitudes of a population.
- This approach uses commercial marketing principles to promote health-related behaviors.
- Examples include anti-smoking campaigns and addressing the health needs of underinsured populations.
Immunization Registries
- Systems-level practice promotes the creation of immunization registries to consolidate immunization information.
- This registry facilitates the management of official immunization records for schools, clinics, and public health departments.
- Advocacy for policy changes is integral to improving immunization rates.
Community-Level Practice Example
- The response to mumps outbreaks at colleges illustrates community-level practice focused on improving immunization awareness.
- Strategies aim to elevate community knowledge about immunization importance and reduce vaccine hesitancy.
Nursing Diagnosis and Practice Levels
- A diagnosis indicating risk due to inadequate parenting suggests application at the individual/family level and secondary prevention.
- Addressing mental health issues in parents is critical for child development and health outcomes.
Collaboration and Advocacy in Nursing Practice
- PHNs often engage in collaboration and advocacy at systems or community levels to address broader systemic issues.
- Involving housing advocates and legal counsel demonstrates a multi-faceted approach to improve living conditions.
Evaluating Community Interventions
- Evaluation of community-level interventions measures their effectiveness in decreasing social isolation among target populations.
- Collecting feedback through surveys helps identify successes and areas for improvement.
Determinants of Health According to Healthy People 2020
- Healthy People 2020 identifies multiple determinants affecting health status, including education, genetics, gender, culture, and social status.
- These factors influence health across life stages, encompassing personal behavior and environment.
