Partnerships that advocate for preventive care screenings, traveling dental visits, immunization, healthy lifestyle choices and one that fosters identification of areas of concern for families in the school district community would be beneficial. Strategic planning “recognizes multiple levels of intervention required for bringing about and sustaining change” (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012, p. 468). How did this event (or influence) advance community and public health nursing? Any program that advocates for the community nurse to become an individual’s advocate in health promotion influences better outcomes overall for a given community.
The National Association of School Nurses (NAS) in 1968 was formed to “upgrade the skills of school nurses and to further the abilities of all children to succeed in the classroom” (National Association of school nurses, 2013). Event or Influence: 1974 National Diabetes Mellitus Research and Education Act Key health issues The educational act was passed to authorize NIH (National Institute of Health) to establish a National Commission on Diabetes to formulate long-range plans to combat the disease.
This plan also covers programs for research about the disease, how it can be managed, and how nurses/health care providers can teach and repaper individuals (Library of congress, n. D. ). Diabetes key health issue is that it is manageable, but only if it is diagnosed. Perspective/goals The goal of nursing in diabetes is early recognition of signs and symptoms through assessment skills which leads to early diagnosis and ultimately proper management and education. Educating an individual about the disease and management is the first step in ensuring positive outcomes for the affected.
Role/functions Nurse educators play an integral role in the management phase of a new diagnosis and in the health of the individual and the community. Nurses need current aids in immunization, compromise, and collaboration to have effective results for clientele. Continuous monitoring of health conditions and compliance is also imperative. Reviewing and reflecting after any education is as significant as the education alone. Health partnerships Partnerships through collaboration with organizations providing information to educate and assist the individual to learn and gain confidence.
Informal consultation is an excellent opportunity to suggest and support actions to promote health integration into the community after an individual’s diagnosis (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012). Programs that foster providing supplies and cost-effective ways to obtain insulin/syringes are also worthwhile for some communities. How did this event (or influence) advance community and public health nursing? Through the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to create a position of Associate Director for Diabetes (Library of congress, n. . ). Soon after campaigns increased awareness, and focused on specific “at risk” groups in the community. Prevention became the new goal for an epidemic no longer “hidden” from public view (Statesman, S. , (n. D. ). Event or Influence: 1974 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Act (SIDES) Key health issues This act was passed to provide a program of distribution of research and information to the public. The education for the public is that babies less than six months can be affected and prevention methods are encouraged.
Babies are at higher risk if placed on their stomach to sleep, with soft bedding, and on to soft surfaces. Perspective/ goals The goal is to make known prevention methods to be implemented in this mysterious and deadly condition to reduce the risk of SIDES. Also the importance of educating the community on risks associated with SIDES to reduce incidence. Role/functions The role of the community nurse is as an educator liaison for prevention, counseling, and consultation after an event like SIDES occurs. Awareness and grief counseling in the event of a loss is necessary.
Health partnerships Partnership with the community through programs and seminars on SIDES and nurse continuing education programs such as prevention, risks, and counseling classes all will help to prepare families through empowering them with education.
