Create an educational program, event, or piece of literature (for  example, a pamphlet) that incorporates best practices in health  promotion and disease prevention for a diverse population. Then, explain  how you developed your educational program, event, or piece of  literature and address any barriers to disease prevention and health  promotion for the population.

From your own professional experiences, as well as your work in  this program, you have come to recognize that the goal of community or  public health nursing is to improve and maintain the health status of  individuals and families; cultural, racial, and ethnic groups; and  communities and populations.

Caring for a population involves identifying the factors that  place at risk a population’s health, as well as developing specific  interventions to address those factors. The roles of nurses in this  regard include preventing illness and injury, teaching clients,  promoting wellness, surveilling disease, shaping and formulating health  care policy, collaborating and partnering with communities, advocating  for clients, evaluating nursing care, and promoting positive client  outcomes.

In addition, the use of evidence-based strategies and models  facilitates the successful implementation of nursing interventions or  health programs, along with the tools and methods to evaluate the  effectiveness, efficiency, and appropriateness of nursing-care processes  and outcomes.

Part I

To prepare for the first part of the assessment, complete the following:

1. Review the literature or use health assessments to determine health care needs of a diverse population in your community.
2. Explore things that could influence success, such as cultural  attitudes toward alternative forms of healing, religious beliefs, or  other individuals.
3. Examine the impact of current health promotion and wellness initiatives on health outcomes and health disparities.
4. Review the literature to identify best practices.

Once you have identified a diverse population, develop an  educational program, event, or piece of literature that promotes  wellness and disease prevention. If you choose an educational program or  event, be sure you outline the basic content of the program or event,  as well as how you would structure it. If you choose a piece of  literature, be deliberate in the points you highlight. Be sure that your  choice is appropriate for the population.

• For an educational program or event, prepare and submit an outline of the content and structure.
• For a brochure or pamphlet, prepare and submit the brochure or  pamphlet using a simple Word document or a Microsoft Publisher document,  if you have that software available. Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

Part II

Explain how you developed your educational program, event, or piece  of literature and address any barriers to disease prevention and health  promotion for the population.

1. Explain why you chose the particular educational strategy. Why is it an effective strategy for the population?
2. Describe cultural barriers to disease prevention and health  promotion in the population. This might include things such as CAM,  language, religious beliefs, and so on.
3. Explain how your educational strategy can help overcome some of the barriers you described.
4. Support your work with valid scholarly resources.
