Week 4: Consider Levels of Nursing Intervention for key health concerns in your community.
Develop nursing interventions at the community and system level of care aimed at primary prevention for population of interest/at risk.

Week 4: Level of nursing care is different than levels of prevention. This project is supposed to focus on community and system levels of nursing care. (See text for explanation) A community level of care will involve addressing the culture and health beliefs of the community as a whole. A system level of intervention might be to bring the parents, teens, school nurses, church, and OB/GYN provider together to work on the issue as a group. A community level intervention may involve a social marketing campaign geared to address the teens of your community. Do they think it is cool to be pregnant or does the youth group in the church inadvertently promote pregnancy?
Your risk population is African American or Hispanic youth or both in South Florida. Chose one that you feel comfortable or that you have more material to write.
Draft interventions using culturally competent assessments and interventions to address primary prevention (see table below). Interviewing family or health care professional involved with the population at risk may help you create a successful plan. Support your ideas with the scholarly literature. (Do not include the individual level of nursing care.)

Nursing Interventions/Services
Level of Prevention Individual / Family Community System
Primary This is an important area to address, but do not focus your project on the individual Focus of Project Focus of Project
Secondary Do not focus on individuals for this project You may include secondary prevention in addition to primary prevention You may include a focus on secondary prevention in addition to primary prevention
Tertiary Up to now most of your practice has been focused at this level of care. (Acute Care) In this course you will focus on primary prevention.
Also, consider the following as they relate to your chosen population-based health problem.
• Services provided by other health care providers
• Lack of services
• Cultural beliefs of community (group)
• Health/illness beliefs
• Values, attitudes, health behaviors and practices
Please address the following:
• Provide a few examples of community resources that need to be in place to assist your population group’s problem. What resources are missing? African American or Hispanic youth
• Are there any cultural-based related issues regarding your group that should inform your approach to care?
• Identify one evidence-based behavior change technique to promote health in this population.
• Suggest one evidence-based intervention to address the health problem for your population of interest.
