Health Promotion Proposal, Part 2

This is a continuation of the health promotion program proposal, part one, which you submitted previously. 

Please approach this assignment as an opportunity to integrate instructor feedback from part I and expand on ideas adhering to the components of the MAP-IT strategy. Include necessary levels of detail you feel appropriate to assure stakeholder buy-in.

 

Directions 

You have already completed the steps 1-4.  Do not resubmit part 1. Make sure you revise this initial submission according to your instructor’s comments. 

To assist in maintaining harmony between Part I and 2 here you have a reminder of the previous paper outline:

· 1. Describe the health problem. Using data and statistics support your claim that the issue you selected is a problem. What specifically will you address in your proposed health promotion program? Be sure your proposed outcome is realistic and measurable. 

· 2. Describe the vulnerable population and setting. What are the risk factors that make this a vulnerable population? Use evidence to support the risk factors you have identified. 

· 3. Provide a review of literature from scholarly journals on evidence-based interventions that address the problem. After completing a library search related to effective interventions for your chosen health promotion activity, you will write a review that evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of all the sources you have found. You might consult research texts for information on how to write a review of the literature found in your search. 

· 4. Select an appropriate health promotion/disease prevention theoretical framework or conceptual model that would best serve as the framework guiding the proposal. Provide a rationale for your selection which includes a discussion of the concepts of the selected model 

 

For this assignment develop criteria 5-8 as detailed below: 

You will submit just this section 5-8 as an essay. Please do not resubmit Part 1. 

Use a presentation page. Start the body of content with topic 5.

· 5. Propose a health promotion program using an evidence-based intervention found in your literature search to address the problem in the selected population/setting. Include a thorough discussion of the specifics of this intervention which includes resources necessary, those involved, and feasibility for a nurse in an advanced role. 

· Be certain to include a timeline. (3 to 4 paragraphs- you may use bullets if appropriate). 

· 6. Thoroughly describe the intended outcomes. Describe the outcomes in detail concurrent with the SMART goal approach.  The SMART goal statement should be no more than one sentence (1 paragraph). 

· 7. Provide a detailed plan for the evaluation of each outcome. (2-3 paragraphs). 

· 8. Thoroughly describe possible barriers/challenges to implementing the proposed project as well as strategies to address these barriers/challenges. (2+ paragraphs). 

· Finish the paper with a conclusion paragraph (2 paragraphs) without typing the word "conclusion" before the paragraph. 

Paper Requirements 

This assignment is to be submitted as an essay- with an introduction, questions developed at the graduate level, and a conclusion to summarize and synthesize key points. Remember, your Proposal must be a scholarly paper demonstrating graduate school-level writing and critical analysis of existing nursing knowledge about health promotion.

APA must be strictly followed.

Your final assignment should be minimally 5 pages (excluding title page and references). 

Finish the essay with your reference page.

Health Promotion Proposal for Vulnerable Population

Diabetes is now one of the leading health issues in the Hispanic/Latino population in

the United States, and the data presented below show that this concern is justified. CDC data

also show that Hispanic adults die from diabetes at a rate 50 percent higher than whites, while

they are 1.66 times more likely to develop the disease compared to non-Hispanic whites. At

present, overall 14.7 percent of Hispanic adults are diagnosed with diabetes; about 9.3 million

Hispanics are living with this chronic disease (Office of Minority Health, 2023; CDC, 2023).

Such statistics call for focused interventional programs aimed at preventing and managing

diabetes type within this population. The proposed health promotion program encounters the

problem of high incidence of type 2 diabetes in Hispanic adults in urban communities, and to

improve the existing situation, focus on culturally appropriate interventions and set a specific

goal — to decrease the incidence of new cases of type 2 diabetes by 25% over three years.

The Hispanic/Latino population also experiences multiple risks that put them in a

higher diabetes risk status. Socioeconomic factors have a significant implication. With only

17.6% of Hispanic Americans earning below the poverty line, access to healthier foods and

medical care is restricted. Language differences also contribute to these obstacles, as about

28% of Hispanic adults have a limited ability to speak English, thus preventing them from

adequately functioning within the healthcare system and comprehending the information

provided in related health education materials. Other social determinants include

cultural/nutrition values, family decision-making, and roles: dietary practices and majority

decision making concerning healthcare services. Also, lower health literacy and higher levels

of obesity among this population are observed: in the case of the latter, the percentage is even

higher – 47%, as compared to 37.9% in the general population – and these are also the main

risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes. These conditions are worsened by gaps in

preventive care services as well as health insurance coverage, where Hispanic adults only

have the lowest insurance rates among all races in America.

A search for the latest literature shows that there are potential interventions for

diabetes prevention in the Hispanic population. Using mixed methods, Amagyei et al. (2020)

assessed the feasibility of a community health worker-implemented diabetes prevention

program among Hispanics living in urban communities. The program that embraced cultural

perceptions of diet and was based on the family format was followed by the exhibition of

reduced risk of diabetes among participants within 18 months by thirty-five percent. It must

be noted that the strength of the intervention studied here was a cultural adaptation and the

involvement of promotors, CHW; however, it had a relatively small participant count, which

was 156 only, which somewhat reduced the generalizability of the study. Another large-scale

research by Katula et al. (2022) focused on using a mHealth intervention to provide bilingual

DP education and lifestyle counseling. In the case of the evaluated program, the following

improvements were realized: An increase in healthy eating by 28% and, on average,

participants lost 2.5 kg of their weight within six months. The aforenoted digital perspective

demonstrated early success in connecting with the younger Hispanic adults; however, the

study’s flaw observed the barriers in targeting senior Hispanic adults less familiar with the

technological possibilities.

The Health Belief Model (HBM) is the theoretical framework of this proposal as it

presents a holistic perspective on modifying and predicting health behaviors in the Hispanic

population. This model is particularly appropriate because it addresses key components

influencing health-related decision-making: Knowledge, self-efficacy, perceived benefits of a

change, and perceived risk regarding diabetes. The HBM captures aspects of cultural

perceptions of health and illness that fit the target population well. Moreover, by targeting

cues to action and self-efficacy, the model efficiently directs the design and implementation

of culturally appropriate interventions for behavior change. For example, the model makes it

possible to comprehend why, perhaps, fatalism, or ‘susto,’ the cultural beliefs about the

disease might affect prevention behavior and inform the creation of suitable, culturally

appropriate intercessions. The HBM will incorporate community approaches to target

behavior change and environmental modification at the individual and community levels in

developing the program’s strategies for improving diabetes prevention behaviors among

Hispanic adults (Muchow, 2021).

Implementing this evidence-based diabetes prevention program requires careful

consideration of sustainability and community engagement factors. The program has

identified optimal long-term support points by engaging and opening communication

channels with existing Hispanic community-based organizations, churches, and healthcare

providers (Campbell et al., 2020). Engagement with these stakeholders will be critical to

forming partnerships that will help sustain the program in the long term; program evaluation

and continuing assessment of community needs will also be necessary to ensure that the

program is as effective as possible for decreasing diabetes risk among Hispanic adults.

Based on the literature review and theoretical framework, diabetes prevention is best

characterized by a multifaceted approach considering cultural sensitivity and evidence-based

practices. Findings suggest that for effective interventions, strategies aimed at sustaining

behavior change need to consider the clinical, social, and cultural contexts that affect

program implementation. This understanding will feed into the design of the community

engagement and technology strategy that will be used to target various strata of the Hispanic

population.
