Overall Purpose for Practicum: Develop a potential project to improve the health of a specific population of interest or a population at risk.
This practicum is designed to help you develop as a scholar practitioner and health leader to promote positive social change in your own community. In this practicum experience you will focus on primary prevention of a health problem in your community (see text for definition.) You already possess the knowledge and skills to help those who are acutely ill. This experience will help learn how to prevent a health problem in a specific population at risk at the community and system level of care (see text for definition). Consequently, because you are well aware of how to care for individuals you will now develop leadership and advocacy skills to improve the health of the community. Collaborating with other professionals and community members in your community will be the key to a successful practicum and project. Collaborate with each other in the discussions, with your instructor, with health care professionals (nurses and other disciplines), with local and state departments of health, and most importantly with the population you hope to help. As an advocate, you will promote positive social change through collaboration with families, communities, and professionals in the health care system. You will develop a culturally relevant proposal that could improve health outcomes for a specific population at risk in your community.
Answer the following questions as you develop your evidence-based, culturally appropriate intervention for your community:
What health issue, problem, or disparity in health outcomes is of concern to you as a scholar practitioner in your community? What gaps in knowledge and care do you see as possible causes for the health issue? What does the health data tell you about the health issue? What does the literature tell you about the health issue? How can you learn about the health issue and about possible solutions from the viewpoint of families, community as a whole, and health professionals in your community? What evidence is there to support your proposal? What is one avenue you could advocate for improved health outcomes and know when a change has taken place?
Suggestions for the Project
Each weeks activities are geared to help you move along with your proposal. Use this time well and utilize some aspect of discussion and assignments in this course (e.g. windshield survey) to support your proposal as well.
Following is things to keep in mind for each wk/make sure to incorporate into powerpont
Week 1: Identification of a Population in Your Community
As a community of practice your task for this week is to collaborate with professionals across the health care system and with your community of practice in the discussion in order to find a gap in care or social determinant that often results in poor health care outcomes. You will begin to take the lead in advocating for and collaborating with others to improve the health care outcomes for populations at risk.
Week 2: Practicum: Epidemiology: Define Your Population and Selected Problem
This week, you will further refine your population and problem and compare your suspicions about this problem to local, state, and national data on the topic. Your practicum project should come into clear focus as you continue to analyze related health data, and you should consider how you, as the nurse, might help them avoid development of the problem in the first place (primary prevention measures).
Week 3: Practicum: Population Cultural Considerations and Genetic Predispositions
This week, you will identify any genetic predisposition your chosen population has to a particular disease and develop primary practice interventions that reflect the cultural considerations of the population. Then, you will develop culturally appropriate, measureable interventions to help your population members maintain an optimal state of health, avoiding the problem that you identified them being at risk for developing.
Week 4: Evidence-Based Practice and Evaluation of the Project Through Measureable Goals
Dr. Marcia Stanhope (2016) explained that evidence-based public health practice refers to those decisions made by using the best available evidence, data and information systems and program frameworks; engaging community stakeholders in the decision-making process; evaluating the results; and then disseminating that information to those who can use the informatio

Briefly describe your community and then describe your practice setting.
What are the determinants of health in your community? (https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/foundation-health-measures/Determinants-of-Health)
What are the most prevalent health problems in your community or in your practice?
Choose a population at risk and describe the health problem specific to that population. Remember that you will have to define the populations age, culture, religious beliefs, foods, and traditions eventually as your project progresses.
I live in a small community located in northwest metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia. The population as of 2019, was 21,760 people. The breakdown of the population is 31% under the age of 18, 14.9% 65 years or older, 51.2% are women. 73% White, 20.8% Black/African American, 12.7% Latino/Hispanic. I am currently practicing at a privately owned hospice company where we provide services to adult patients in their homes and facilities in North Georgia.
Race is a major social determinant of health. African Americans have a higher rate of significant health problems and functional limitations. Economic resources are also a social determinant of health. As poverty increases, mortality rates increase. Economic resources are also needed to provide basic needs such as housing and food, and is required to obtain health care and medications. Social isolation and loneliness also are social determinants that have profound effects, especially during the COVID 19 pandemic.
As a hospice nurse, the majority of my patients are the geriatric population and the population at risk I am choosing to focus on for this project. The most prevalent health problems include heart disease, respiratory diseases, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and dementia. Depression is also a problem that occurs, leading to increased suicide rates of the geriatric patient. Injuries or death related to falls is a perpetual problem in the elderly. Malnutrition is widespread and seen in nearly every older patient, which is related to access to food, decreased physical ability to shop, cook, or eat. Malnutrition could also happen due to other comorbid conditions that the senior has such as dementia.

According to the CDC(FastStats – Hypertension, 2019), 63.1% of adults age 60 and over have high blood pressure, which is three times higher than adults aged 20-44. Georgia ranks #33rdin the nation.(Explore High Blood Pressure in the United States | 2019 Annual Report, n.d.). High blood pressure is one of the leading risk factors in heart attack and stroke.
As a person ages, the size of the liver decreases, and the blood flow is reduced, which reduces how quickly the liver metabolizes medication. Kidney size is reduced, and blood flow is less, resulting in low renal clearance (Beers Criteria: Some Medications to Avoid in the Elderly, 2012). Because of these physiological changes, controlling blood pressure in geriatric patients can be challenging. Cognitive impairments due to age-related dementia can result in medication noncompliance and not being able to recognize symptoms of hyper/hypotension. Physical limitations result in difficulty going to regular doctor appointments, regular physical activity, and not being able to cook a healthy heart diet, all leading to uncontrolled blood pressure.
The geriatric patient needs to be closely monitored due to drug sensitivity. Because of increased sensitivity to medication, orthostatic hypotension is a significant concern for the elderly population. Orthostatic hypotension can result in falls, syncope, or death. (Arik & Yavuz, 2014)
In looking for information for this discussion, I utilized Google Scholar for my search engine. I found much of my statistics through CDC website.

High blood pressure is a global public health issue. About 40% of people globally are estimated to have hypertension. The World Health Organizations (WHO) global brief on hypertension states that 9.4 million deaths yearly are linked to hypertension complications (Lu, Tang, & Wang, 2015). High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. The elderly are at a high risk of having hypertension and thus need healthcare interventions to prevent and manage their blood pressure.
People need to adopt healthy lifestyles to prevent and manage hypertension. I would recommend the geriatric population to go for the DASH eating plan. Healthy meals and snacks, fruits, and vegetables imply taking foods rich in fiber, potassium, protein, low sodium, and low saturated fats. By making these healthy changes, the geriatric population can keep their blood pressure low and protect against other chronic diseases such as heart disease and stroke. The DASH eating plan is a key component of a heart-healthy lifestyle. It can be combined with other lifestyle changes such as physical activity to control an individuals blood pressure and LDL-cholesterol for life (Anna, Morze, Mariusz, & Eufemia, 2020).
The top culturally sensitive intervention to address health problems of the elderly would be to ask the patient the preferred language and provide an interpreter service in the preferred language for any teaching (American Geriatrics Society, 2016). I would also identify the education level, cognition, and hearing acuity of the elderly patient to ensure understanding and determine if they will make their own decisions. When care is customized to a patients language and cultural preference, there is a higher possibility of obtaining positive health outcomes for the diverse population.
The expected outcomes for the geriatric patient include; increase in the proportion of older adults with normalized blood pressure, high blood pressure-related knowledge score, and adherence to healthy lifestyles. An increase in the percentage of older adults with normalized blood pressure would suggest a positive health outcome in hypertension management among the elderly population (Lu, Tang, & Wang, 2015). As a result, the percentage of the elderly population at the risk of hypertension or with hypertension would have reduced. A high score in hypertension-related knowledge would suggest that most of the elderly population understands the health problem and ways of managing it. Hence, there will a reduced number of older adults who are less at a risk of developing hypertension or having uncontrolled hypertension.

HI Leslie,
Great job on your post.I like that you were specific and discussed the DASH diet for this population,a great choice. I agreed, I think with any population language and cultural considerations are important but with the elderly we do need to add hearing and cognition and not only determine if they will make their own decisions, but are they able to.
