Sentinel City: Industrial Heights

Community Assessment, Analysis, Diagnosis, Plan, and Evaluation

This activity is intended for undergraduate nursing students. In this activity, students will observe, think critically about, and report health issues in diverse community environments.

Community health nursing can improve access to care for the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups in any country. The community health nurse should combine knowledge of major indicators of health, social factors that contribute to declining health status, and public programs designed to address problems of health care.

Efforts should encompass all levels of prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary) and should address the needs of the individual, family, aggregate, and community.

A Formal APA Paper (see instructions and rubric). Due date is according to Syllabus.

Title

This section is the introduction and should briefly talk about Community Health Assessments. Introduce your Sentinel City community and what this paper is about.

Assessment

Using your eight social determinants of health, discuss the living condition within your community. This should be relatively brief. Present your finding from the previous assignments.

Analysis

From the information you discussed above, analysis the information as the overall health of the community. What are the strengths and the challenges of the community? Describe the data you found that directly relates to the health concern you believe exist for your chosen community. This data can be obtained from your tables and should also be included in table format in your appendix.

Make the connection between your community major health concerns and the Healthy People 2020 objectives. https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives

Nursing Diagnosis

You may have to brush up writing nursing diagnoses. Once you identified the leading challenge for the community, write as a nursing diagnosis. Here is a link to help you figure some out– https://nursekey.com/community-diagnosis-planning-and-intervention/

Plan

In this section, you will detail your plan for improvement for you community. Include the information gained from Social Determinate worksheet to build the plan. Include the people you will work with, for example, the mayor, the police, the church, etc. Plans should be detailed, realistic (funding and supplies type of stuff), time limited, and measurable.

Evaluation

Because this is a simulation, you will not have an actual evaluation, but you will have an evaluation plan. How would you measure the success or needed adjustments to the plan? Did the intervention help correct the issue? How would you know? Explain how these interventions will increase the quality of life for the people that live in your chosen SC community.

Conclusion

Briefly summarize your paper and draw your conclusions. Make observations about the community and its place within Sentinel City. What future do you see for this community?
