Wellness Teaching Project

Wellness Teaching Project Phase A1: Proposed Population Group for Interaction. You will practice the phases of population group assessment and primary prevention education. To do so, you need to identify and research 3 groups of people from the community who might be interested in learning about a wellness topic.

For each group selected, answer the following questions:

1. What is your main health concern? Note: Do not commit to teaching any topic yet.
2. What is your preferred learning style? How do you prefer to learn (e.g., demonstration, participation, handouts with pictures, articles)?

 

Participant Group	Main Concern	Preferred Learning Style
1. Group that meets regularly at a local gym 24hour Fitness.	Risk of illicit drug use	Face to face presentation. Online. Other forms of visuals (video, poster, handouts, booklets, Power Point). Questions and Answers. Listen to Feedbacks.
2. Group that meets regularly at a local park.	Risk of STIs	Face to face presentation. Online. Other forms of visuals (video, poster, handouts, booklets, Power Point). Questions and Answers. Listen to Feedbacks.
3. Group that meets regularly at a local Temple	Risk of opioid abuse	Face to face presentation. Online. Other forms of visuals (video, poster, handouts, booklets, Power Point). Questions and Answers. Listen to Feedbacks.

Phase A2: Group Identification

answer this table for your selected group.

Group name:	Data (Enter your answers in this column)
Size How many participants do you expect will participate?
Population In public health terms, what population or aggregate defines this group? If mixed ages, identify by all pertinent age ranges (e.g., teens, adults, seniors).
Developmental Stage According to Eriksen, in which developmental stage is the group?
Data availability for this population Identify available regional data AND national data that describe common health concerns for this age group.	Regional data: National data:
Where does the data show room for improvement?
How does the official data match the group’s self-identified main concerns?

Phase B: RN Identification of Tentative Main Concern & Data Appraisal

Assess the aggregate using available data.

Review the pertinent chapter(s) on aggregate health in Nies & McEwen to identify common health concerns (e.g., Ch.16 – Children and Adolescent Health, Ch.17 – Women’s Health, Ch.18 – Men’s Health, Ch.19 – Senior Health).

Identify 3 different health promotion topics for this group as determined by reviewing chapters in the text, during Phase A1, or during Phase A2. Document your appraisal of each selected topic below.

For all 3 topics, list its goal and one specific objective and target (copy and paste verbatim from the indicated website). Select one from Healthy People (HP), the second from Let’s Get Healthy California (LGHC), and the third from either HP or LGHC.

Add the reference for each objective to your References page at the end of this Teaching Plan.

Example: Population Group – Teens

HP2030 Topic: Sleep Health (SH)

HP2030 Goal: Improve health, productivity, well-being, quality of life, and safety by helping people get enough sleep.

HP2030 Objective: SH-4 Increase the proportion of students in grades 9 through 12 who get sufficient sleep

HP2030 Target: 27.4 percent

Phase C: Group Needs Assessment

Use assessment tools from Nies & McEwen or online public health websites. See Box 7.1, “Health Planning Project Objectives” (p. 289), and “Assessment” (pp. 290-296) in Nies & McEwen.

State how you will perform the needs assessment (by phone, email, or online survey):

Name which needs assessment tool or approach you will use and explain how you will use it:

Identify the wellness teaching topic:

the following population nursing diagnosis for the Wellness Teaching Project. See Nies & McEwen, Fig. 6.3, “Format for community health diagnosis” (p. 274). Replace the bracketed text with facts from your diagnosis.

Increased risk of [disability, disease, etc.]

among [community or population]

related to [etiological statement]

as demonstrated in [health indicators, with supportive data].

Evaluate the group’s initial SSOC (situational sense of coherence) by scoring their readiness to change a health behavior.

Score on SSOC  (high=3, medium=2, or low=1)	Score	Comments
Comprehensibility In relation to what the community needs to know about the main concern, how much do they know?
Meaningfulness In relation to motivation, how much effort is the community willing to put into resolving the main concern?
Manageability In relation to the community’s resources, what is available to manage the main concern?
Total SSOC Score

Topic, Goal, Objective, and Target

The final topic, goal, and objective and target selected is:

• Topic:
• Goal:

Levels of Prevention

Identify at least 1 goal-specific intervention for this topic at each level of prevention:

1. Primary prevention:
2. Secondary prevention:
3. Tertiary prevention:

Published Brochures

Identify and list below at least 2 public-domain (copyright-free) brochures that could be used to implement your project.

Phase E2: Lesson Plan Learning Objectives

Develop 2 SMART behavioral learning objectives for your group.

Review the Develop SMART Objectives tutorial from the CDC. Complete 1 impact and 1 outcome objective below. An impact objective describes how you’ll change how someone feels about something, what they know about something, or how they act regarding something in the short term and what level of change you expect to see. An outcome objective focuses on the long-term ramifications of your program and describes what the outcomes should be for the entire community.

SMART Impact Objective:

By [mm/dd/yyyy],

[replace this text with the group name – WHO]

will have [replace this text with a behavior that you can see – WHAT],

[replace this text with a number that you can measure including – WHAT]

[replace this text with HOW you’re going to accomplish this and WHY (specify results)]

SMART Outcome Objective:

By [mm/dd/yyyy],

[replace this text with the group – WHO]

will have [replace this text with a behavior that you can see – WHAT],

[replace this text with a number that you can measure including – WHAT]

[replace this text with HOW you’re going to accomplish this and WHY (specify results)]

Which wellness theory or model will you use to guide your teaching? Select an appropriate theory or model from Nies & McEwen, Ch. 4.

List the wellness theory or model and explain how it will be used to guide your teaching.

Phase E3: Lesson Plan

Create a brief lesson plan (an outline) of your proposed teaching content using the table below.

• Steps common to all client education are pre-filled.
• Complete the remaining cells according to your preparation.
• Use this plan to guide your teaching on the day you present the wellness topic to your group.

 

Lesson title (make it catchy!):

Share virtual meeting invitation with all group participants.

How will you pretest the message and materials before teaching?

What supplies or materials will you prepare?

How will you distribute any materials or handouts to the participants?

Complete the lesson plan using this table. Allow approximately 10-15 minutes per topic. Adjust to the time allowed, as needed.
