Health Promotion Proposal Part 2
Health Promotion Proposal Part 2 Proposed Health Promotion Program The health promotion program I will suggest is that of diminishing the prevalence rates of diabetes and hypertension among the Hispanic population in the city of Miami where the disparity aspect of these two chronic conditions will be addressed. One of the evidence-based interventions in line with this objective is Community-Based Health Promotion Model, which seems to be emphasized by the literature (Quilling et al., 2020). The chosen model focuses on an active approach to the community that will help to promote a healthier behavior. The people included in the interventions will be screened on blood-pressure levels and given diabetes self-management workshops, which will be specific to the needs of the Hispanic people. The content of these workshops will revolve around the knowledge of the participants about lifestyle changes and dietary modifications and the need to undergo regular health checks. Resources Necessary: Clearly qualified health practitioners (nurses, dietitians, social workers) Social institutions to use as a venue to conduct workshops and screenings Spanish-language health materials (pamphlets, video) Screening services mobile vans (in the event of mobility problems) The area volunteers and peer educators Those Involved: Advanced practice nurses (APNs) will be the primary facilitators in conducting screenings and health coaching or conducting workshops. They will engage community leaders and faith-based groups so that they use their local trust and leadership power. Social workers will support the people with complex needs and make referrals. Feasibility for Nurses in Advanced Roles: APNs can easily execute the program because they have advanced knowledge of the management of chronic diseases and health education. APNs are going to take part in every detail of intervention; they will carry out screenings and offer follow-up assistance (Ho et al., 2022). Timeline: Months 1–3: Preparation of the program (training of the staff, material development, and establishment of screening locations). The 4-6 months: Start workshops and screenings; follow-up is needed on a regular basis to check the progress. Months 7-12: More workshops and screenings, evaluation of program effect, and the adjustment of the program should it be needed. Intended Outcomes The planned results of this program would be the decrease of the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes among the target population and the rise of overall health literacy and rate of prevention services use. Through the SMART goal strategy, the result could be well stated as SMART Goal Statement: Within 12 months, the goal is to lower average A1c levels by 0.5 percentage points in 200 participants of the program with 70 percent turnout in the follow-up screenings. Evaluation Plan for Each Outcome Outcome 1: Reduction in A1c levels Evaluation Method: The measurement will use the A1c reading before and after the program, where recordings will be done at the beginning and end of the program. This will enable us to determine the differences in the blood sugar control of participants throughout the period of the intervention (Kreps, 2023). Data collection: Each participant will be recorded (in terms of Read More …
