Study Notes
Levels of Prevention in Public Health Nursing
- Public health nursing aims to prevent disease progression at the earliest feasible phase.
- Levels of prevention include primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions.
Primary Prevention
- Focuses on preventing problems before they occur by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure.
- Examples include:
- Educating on sexual abstinence or safer sex practices using barrier methods (HIV/AIDS).
- Dietary teaching during pregnancy.
- Immunizations and health promotion efforts enhancing resilience.
Secondary Prevention
- Involves early detection and intervention after disease onset but before symptoms appear.
- Targets individuals with risk factors.
- Examples include:
- HIV testing and referrals for positive cases.
- Cervical cancer screening.
- Blood pressure and mammography screenings.
Tertiary Prevention
- Aims to limit disability and promote rehabilitation after disease or injury.
- Focuses on restoring individuals to optimal functioning levels.
- Examples include:
- Teaching diabetes patients to administer insulin.
- Exercise therapy after strokes.
- Skin care for incontinent patients.
Community and Population Health
- Emphasizes organized health efforts for entire communities or populations.
- Implements programs like fluoride supplementation, environmental sanitation, and lead screening.
- Targets interventions for vulnerable groups, such as mental health services for veterans.
Individual vs. Society Focused Theories
-
Individual-focused theories emphasize direct interventions aimed at modifying personal health behaviors, like the Health Belief Model.
- Example: A nurse promoting healthier eating based on understanding diabetes risk.
-
Society-focused theories (upstream) address broader systemic issues that influence population health.
- Example: Advocating for policies promoting access to healthy foods in food deserts.
Addressing the “Manufacturers of Illness”
- Identifies upstream factors contributing to poor health, such as environmental toxins and unhealthy products.
- McKinlay's analogy illustrates the need to focus on preventing illness at its origin rather than only treating symptoms.
Nursing's Role in Population Health
- Nurses conduct both individual care and advocate for systemic changes affecting community health.
- Example: Healthcare systems monitoring diabetes management while addressing barriers like medication access.
Challenges in Preventive Measures
- Some preventive actions may not address root causes of illness.
- Critical examination of intervention strategies is necessary to enhance effective preventive behaviors.
