NURS-FPX 4060 Practicing in the Community to Improve Population Health

Health Promotion Plan Presentation

Good day, everyone. My name is ——-, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to today’s presentation. Today, we will be exploring a vital health issue impacting a significant part of our community: bullying among children in California. Before we delve into a specific health promotion plan tailored for our target group, I would like to explain what a health promotion plan entails.

What is a Health Promotion Plan?

A health promotion plan is a strategic approach to enhance individuals’ well-being within a community. It includes various activities and interventions to reduce illnesses and promote healthier behaviors. Implementing such a plan can improve individual health outcomes and maintain the community’s health. This presentation focuses on addressing health impact of bullying on children particularly in California (McKenzie et al., 2022).

Agenda

The agenda for this presentation includes the following points:

– A plan specifically designed to address these unique health needs

– Achievements and future adjustments of our educational objectives

– Assessment of outcomes in alignment with Healthy People 2030 and potential future modifications

– Conclusion

The Plan Based on Health Needs

The plan is based on the specific identified health needs of the target individual, Maria, who is facing bullying in California. Maria’s health needs are intricately tied to her experiences with bullying, which have had profound effects on her well-being. As a 10-year-old Hispanic girl of Mexican descent residing in Los Angeles, California, Maria faces not only the distress of bullying but also contends with socio-economic challenges and language barriers. The verbal and social bullying she endures from her peers has left her grappling with diminished self-esteem and hindered academic performance. These adverse effects underscore the urgency of addressing her emotional and psychological health.

Given Maria’s family’s financial constraints and limited access to mental health resources, it’s imperative to prioritize interventions that are both accessible and culturally relevant. Her parents, who work tirelessly in low-income jobs, are deeply concerned about Maria’s emotional welfare and academic progress. However, the language barrier further complicates their ability to navigate the system effectively, hindering their efforts to seek appropriate support for their daughter. Through targeted health promotion efforts, we aim to equip Maria with the tools and support necessary to navigate bullying, improve her mental health, and ultimately enhance her overall well-being within the California population.

Establishing SMART Goals for the Target Individual

The following three SMART goals were developed for Maria by collaborating with her:

• Maria will assertively communicate (Realistic) her feelings and set boundaries (Specific, Attainable) with peers engaging in bullying behavior, aiming to reduce her exposure to bullying incidents by at least 50% (Measurable) within one month (Time-bound) (Joseph & Kuperminc, 2020).
• Maria will actively participate in weekly (Measurable) peer support group sessions (Attainable) at school (Specific), focusing on building resilience and developing strategies to cope with bullying (Realistic), aiming to attend every session for the next three months (Time-Bound) (Joseph & Kuperminc, 2020).
• By the end of the educational session (Time-Bound) on bullying prevention and intervention (Attainable), Maria will demonstrate understanding (Realistic) by identifying and discussing three (Measurable) specific coping strategies (Specific) to address bullying. These strategies will enhance her ability to navigate challenging social situations effectively.

Educational and Teaching Session Presentation

To achieve our goals, we engaged Maria and her peers in interactive and age-appropriate activities designed to teach them about bullying and how to cope with it. The educational session covered four main areas: understanding bullying, recognizing bullying, coping strategies, and communicating assertively. Firstly, the session focused on understanding bullying by explaining the different types: verbal, social, physical, and cyberbullying. Using simple language and relatable examples, we helped the children grasp what constitutes bullying. We also discussed possible reasons behind bullying, such as insecurity and the desire to feel powerful, to provide a broader context and foster empathy.
