A questionnaire for assessing community health nurses' learning needs. Western Journal of Nursing Research, 32(8), 1055-1072. This journal covers the important stages of the Learning needs assessment and how it impacts every educational process that is aimed to inform changes in practice and policy for continuing professional development. Professional opportunities have been widely used as a basis for the development of learning needs assessment. This article reports on the development of a learning needs assessment questionnaire for Community Health Nurses (CHNs). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to examine the consistency of factors underpinning the Canadian Community Health Nursing (CCHN) Standards. Also, validity and reliability of the questionnaire were evaluated using appropriate techniques. This process resulted in a valid and reliable CHN learning needs assessment questionnaire to measure learning needs of large groups of practitioners, where other forms of measurement cannot be feasibly conducted.

...a role every nurse must participate in to promote, maintain, and restore health among a community. To accomplish such requires community members receive and have a practical understanding of health-related information (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2008). One method to accomplish such is to develop a health educational plan. The purpose of this paper is to create a health education plan based upon information collected from a windshield survey and Friedman family assessment conducted by a nurse in the community of Palmdale, California. Areas that will be discussed include, a description of the educational need based upon assessment findings, educational goals and objectives, educational methods that will be used to implement the health educational plan, and the methods applied to evaluate the educator and process used in the development and implementation of the health education plan. Identification of a Health Educational Need In conducting a windshield survey and Friedman family assessment, the nurse identified multiple educational needs. The priority educational need in common and identified among both the family and the community of Palmdale, California is the need for education on the maintenance of chronic illnesses. Determining what chronic illness to focus on in terms of development of the health educational plan however, presented more of a challenge. When observing the community it was identified that multiple individuals had oxygen tanks providing evidence of chronic...

...Heritage Assessment In 2012 the United States Census Bureau estimated there will be roughly 20 million new immigrants living in the U.S. over the next two decades (Plumer June, 2013). The results will be an increase of different cultures and traditions which healthcare workers will need to consider within their practice. The goal of this paper is to show the reader the usefulness of the Heritage Assessment tool when it is used to evaluate the individual’s needs in relation to culture and tradition. The author of the paper will share with the reader the interviews of families from three different cultures (the first being her own) and explore the common health traditions of their cultures and how the families subscribe to the traditions. Heritage Assessment tool The usefulness of the heritage assessment tool is to give the provider a way to understand the role of culture and traditions and how it affects the way a patient views health and illness. The tool uses simple questions regarding cultural background of an individual such as: the relationship of family members, religious beliefs, ethnic activities and language. At the end of the assessment the nurse will have a better idea of how the individual identifies with a particular culture and traditions. Mexican and Iraqi health culture and traditions The author of...

...Write a 2-3 page paper in response to the following questions: In a developing country, an urban community is overwhelmed by trash that is poorly managed and has become a source of many hazards to the public. As a Health Educator working for an international health organization you have been asked to assist to address the management of trash (solid wastes) in this community. Your tasks in this assignment are to: 1. Describe how you would address proper trash management in the community of a developing country and how services may be improved. 2. Discuss the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in the management of trash. X Management of municipal solid waste (MSW) or otherwise known as trash or garbage is an ongoing environmental and economic issue not only in the Unites States but also around the world especially in a developing country like the Philippines. The need for a community assessment that aims at assessing the current problems related to the way trash is managed in Pateros, the smallest district in Metro Manila, has been identified. A community assessment is a systemic process of understanding a health problem for the purpose of priority setting or developing an action plan (Escoffery et al, 2004). Before I initiate a community assessment in the area of Pateros, I would have to follow a guide to effectively accomplish the assessment. The matter of solid waste and its management in Metro Manila had catapulted itself into the limelight...

...alternative theoretical framework for understanding student learning. Higher Education, 55(3), 321 - 332. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10734-007-9057-5 Alienation and engagement: Development of an alternative theoretical framework for understanding student learning Jennifer M. Case Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Cape Town Abstract In this paper it is suggested that the themes of alienation and engagement offer a productive alternative perspective for characterising the student experience of learning in higher education, compared to current dominant perspectives such as that offered by approaches to learning and related concepts. A conceptual and historical background of the concept of alienation is presented, followed by an overview of some contemporary perspectives. Drawing on this literature, a framework is then developed for characterising student learning. It comprises three categories, referring to the alienation resulting from 1. entering the higher education community, 2. fitting into the higher education community, and 3. staying in the higher education community. Each category has an associated set of theoretical tools that can be drawn upon in analysing this aspect of the student experience.

...Audit Running Header: Task I 2 Executive Summary Nightingale Community Hospital is committed to providing quality care and aims to be the first choice hospital for patients in the community. Four core values represent the passion Nightingale has for excellence: Safety, Community, Teamwork and Accountability. The goals of the hospital are to uphold an atmosphere of healing, promote the benefits of health, and to provide a compassionate experience for all. Overview In order to reach the aforementioned goals, values and commitments, Nightingale Community Hospital must be in compliance of regulatory agencies which outline specific, goaloriented sets of standards. The Joint Commission is one such agency that provides assistance and support to health care facilities to ensure that certain standards are met, education for implementing new standards and feedback of current healthcare practices as part of the accreditation process. According to Facts about Hospital Accreditation (2014), the “Joint Commission standards address the hospital’s performance in specific areas, and specify requirements to ensure that patient care is provided in a safe manner and in a secure environment (p. 1).” This agency uses a Priority Focus Process methodology to identify areas within healthcare organizations which have a significant impact on patient safety and quality of care. One of these areas that Nightingale Community Hospital would like to focus on is communication. According the O’Daniel...

A program is a permanent and inseparable element of the planning process intended to achieve specific future goals. The methodical, yet necessary process of planning is important in designing programs to become an effective and efficient tool for human service organizations in conjunction with a systematic approach to descriptive research for meeting each presented goal. Descriptive research is designed to service clients, describe program characteristics, and other elements. It describes the use of facilities, community resources and other resources as well. It is also designed to study the relationship of association among various factors or variables and take into account the solicited views of a social issue or problem in program or policy design/planning process. Descriptive research provides a description of an observable fact or event or the relationships between two or more observable facts or events. Assessments vary categorically, but they can assess nearly everything and to the nth degree. Social programs are no different as assessments are utilized to produce data that is crucial for programs turning negative outcomes into positive outcomes. An assessment of needs plays an intricate...
