Findings of Interview with Community Health Provider on the Identified Community

In order to make appropriate community diagnoses, the community health nurse can make use of the functional health patterns model to assess a given community and gather important subjective health data through interviewing. Marjorie Gordon’s functional health patterns assessment enables thorough nursing assessment of the community by way of some eleven conceptual classifications (Karaca, 2016; Nurse Key, n.d.). The following are the interview findings of a community functional health patterns assessment interview with a family nurse practitioner (FNP) working within the chosen community.

The Interview findings

The interview was conducted by the author with primary health care public health service provider in the community chosen by the author. Her name is Yolanda Yates and she is a family nurse practitioner with a doctorate degree (DNP) and eleven years of experience working in the state. She African American and is 42 years old. All her eleven years of practice have been spent with this community in which she was born and raised. She is therefore the best placed community health provider to authoritatively speak about the community’s health issues.

Values/ Belief pattern

The FNP was asked about the predominant ethnic group in the community and their health beliefs. She stated that it was a closely-knit African American community who believe that good health is luck or a gift from God. It is a very religious Christian community that believes God can heal the sick. There are many Evangelical churches within the community with an oversupply of spiritual resources. Despite this Christian worldview, the community also values health promotion ventures, evidenced by the fact that the church frequently partners with the public health authorities to mobilize the community for events such as mass immunization of children under the age of five. The community values spirituality as evidenced by the churches, but most of its money is spent on items of luxury such as cloths and jewellery as opposed to investing. It is not a wealthy community and money is scarce (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020). Findings of Interview with Community Health Provider

Health Perception/ Management

            Asked about the predominant health problem(s) in the community, the FNP said that it is mainly teenage obesity although there are others. About 31% of all children and adolescents aged 2-9 years are estimated to be overweight with 17% of them being obese (Jelalian & Evans, 2017). The immunization rates in the community are high and the highest death rates are due to coronary artery disease. Primary prevention programs such as exercise (fitness) are not sufficient, as well as healthcare providers who are in short supply (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).

Nutrition/ Metabolic

            The FNP stated that the teenage obesity rate in the community was about 25%, higher than the official CDC prevalence rate in the 12-19 year-old age group of 20.6% (CDC, 2019). The overweight and obesity present are an indicator of nutrient deficiencies. A good number of community members cannot afford three meals a day and depend on meal programs by non-profit organizations and the church. Clean drinking water is available though not reliable. Junk food is everywhere with trash cans filled with remnants of fast foods. Despite regulations, schools in the community still provide sugary beverages to the students due to cost issues. The children get food at school (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).

Sleep/ Rest

            When asked about the sleep patterns of the community, the FNP stated that the community was always lively even at night and estimated just about 6 hours of sleep per night per person. The National Institutes of Health recommend at least 9 hours of sleep for school-aged children and 7 hours for adults (NIH, 2003). According to the FNP, the factors that seem to affect sleep in the community are noise and substance use; mainly alcohol (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).    Findings of Interview with Community Health Provider

Elimination (Environmental Health Concerns)

            Asked about elimination, the FNP stated that there were no air contaminants except noise and poor waste disposal to some extent. Pest control was poor and hygiene practices such as handwashing were not common earlier except now more practiced due to COVID-19. Bathrooms per household are sufficient and moderately clean but security is poor due to petty crime and drug abuse (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).

Activity/ Exercise

            There are very few community fitness programs and recreational facilities as per the FNP. Safety programs are not adhered to and recreation is mainly watching television and playing computer games. Transportation is mainly public (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).

Cognitive/ Perceptual

The FNP states that the primary language in the community is English with a few Spanish speakers. Educational levels are low compared to the national average and educational opportunities for special populations are scarce. Scholarships are not many and library/ computer resources are also lacking (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).

Self-perception/ Self-Concept

The majority age group are teenagers and young adults with the community having a long history since the Emancipation Proclamation. Self-esteem is low but published descriptions of the community abound (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).   Findings of Interview with Community Health Provider

Roles and Relationships

            The community is friendly but many are vulnerable like the teenagers (peer influence). The church is powerful with a positive influence but police harassment is rife with a poor community relationship (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).

Sexuality/ Reproductive

            Teenagers engage in carefree relationships with teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections rife. Reproductive health education is not enough but there is access to birth control and maternal child health care. Abortions are many, especially with teenagers (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).

Coping/ Stress 

Delinquency, violence, and crime rates are significantly high as is poverty. Drug and substance abuse is on the rise but stress management resources like counseling are scarce. Depression and suicidality are common but few mental health professionals are available. The community deals with mental health issues through prayers. The community is marginalized and disaster planning is unsatisfactory (Y. Yates, personal communication, August 29, 2020).
