Assessment 01 – Health Promotion Plan
For this assessment, plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience focused on health
promotion associated with a specific community health concern or health need. Completing this
assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group
participation, and this assessment will also provide the foundation for the implementation of your
health promotion educational plan in Assessment 4.
Before you complete the detailed instructions in the courseroom, first review the specific
community health concerns or health needs below and select one to be the focus of your
assessment. Each of these health concerns has broad implications not only for the individuals
directly affected but also for the community at large in terms of healthcare costs, societal wellbeing, and overall quality of life.
• Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, it’s a condition where the force of the
blood against the artery walls is too high.
o Potential Health Impacts: Can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney problems,
and other health issues.
• Gender Dysphoria: A condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress
because their biological sex doesn’t align with their gender identity.
o Potential Health Impacts: Can lead to mental health issues like depression,
anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.
• HPV Prevention: Efforts to prevent Human Papillomavirus, a common sexually
transmitted infection that can lead to genital warts and certain types of cancer.
o Potential Health Impacts: Vaccination and regular screenings can prevent most
HPV-related cancers and other complications.
let’s plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience focused on HPV prevention, considering its significance in public health. Here’s a structured outline for the plan:
Title: HPV Prevention: Educating for Healthier Futures
Objective:
- To educate the community about Human Papillomavirus (HPV), its transmission, prevention, and associated health risks.
- To promote vaccination and regular screenings to prevent HPV-related cancers and complications.
Target Audience:
- Adolescents (ages 11-12) and their parents/guardians
- Young adults (ages 18-26)
- Community healthcare providers
Learning Activities:
- Community Awareness Workshop:
- Overview of HPV: Causes, transmission, and prevalence.
- Discussion on HPV-related cancers and other complications.
- Importance of vaccination and regular screenings.
- Dispelling myths and misconceptions about HPV.
- Q&A session.
- Interactive Educational Booths:
- Informational pamphlets, brochures, and posters on HPV prevention.
- Role-play scenarios demonstrating how to discuss HPV vaccination with healthcare providers.
- Demonstrations of proper condom use and its role in HPV prevention.
- Games and quizzes to engage participants and reinforce learning.
- School Outreach Program:
- Collaboration with local schools to integrate HPV education into the curriculum.
- Guest lectures by healthcare professionals on HPV prevention.
- Distribution of educational materials to students and parents/guardians.
- Peer-led discussions on sexual health and HPV prevention among students.
- Healthcare Provider Training:
- Continuing education sessions for healthcare providers on HPV vaccination guidelines.
- Practice scenarios for discussing HPV vaccination with patients and parents.
- Updates on the latest research and recommendations related to HPV prevention.
Resources Needed:
- Venue for workshops and educational booths (community center, schools, healthcare facilities).
- Educational materials (pamphlets, brochures, posters).
- Audiovisual equipment for presentations.
- Healthcare professionals and educators to facilitate workshops and training sessions.
- Funding for vaccination subsidies, if available.
Evaluation:
- Pre and post-assessment surveys to measure knowledge gain and attitude change.
- Tracking vaccination rates and screening uptake in the community post-event.
- Feedback forms from participants to assess the effectiveness of the learning experience.
Conclusion:
By implementing this clinical learning experience focused on HPV prevention, we aim to empower individuals and communities with the knowledge and resources to protect themselves against HPV-related diseases. Through education, awareness, and access to preventive services, we can work towards reducing the burden of HPV-related cancers and improving public health outcomes.
