evaluation with the community
actions: lead to desired outcomes-evaluate
directed at achievment of goals
results in continued cycle of nursing process
health people 2030 objective include
national and state partnerships that establish health objectives and sustain initiatives
preventative services are vital to
health promotion and disease prevention
who originally oversaw preventative services
CDC
screening
important tool to detect disease at early stage before it becomes both costly and threatens quality of life
what kind of prevention is screening
secondary
what is the primary objective of screening
detection of a disease in its early stages and treat disease and prevent progression
benefits of screening and early detection
reduce cost of disease management and avoid costly interventions required for later stages
some disease show a period called
latency where there are no symptoms
early detection of disease avoids
more intensive intervention and may allow for early isolation and mitigation
individual screening
one person tested; often chosen based on risk factors
group or mass screening
target population selected on basis of increased risk
one test disease specific screening
single test detects characteristic indicating high risk
multiple test screening
2 or more tests to detect one disease
advantages of screening
simple screening tests are cost-effective
can be applied to both individuals and larger populations
some screening is mandated by law
creates opportunity for health teaching
can be one test disease specific or multiple test
example of individual screening
BP check in primary care
example of population screening
community screening fairs
disadvantages of screening
uncertainty in scientific evidence- possibility of errors which can lead to:
false positives
false negatives
false positives can lead to
anxiety and unnecessary interventions
false negatives can lead to
disease being overlooked; missed opportunity for early intervention; false assurance
epidemiology
method used to find cause of disease and outcomes in populations
morbidity
disease state or disability from any cause
includes range or degree of illness
mortality
deaths in a given population as end outcome indices
incidence
rate of a new population problem and estimates risk of individual developing disease
prevalence
proportion of the poppulation with disease at any one point in time
quality of life is
subjective and difficult to assess
quality adjusted life year (QALY)
1 year of excellent health = 1 QALY
concern that it may be used to ration health care (not client focused, impersonal)
disability adjusted life year (DALY)
reflects a year spent in less than healthy life
gages burden of disease
little difference from QALY
detection
are there well documented diagnostic criteria
resources treatment available to support screening
diagnostic criteria
disease should have early asymptomatic state
who should be screened
screening measures
must be safe, cost-effective and accurate
reliability
reproducability of test results
interobserver
same results when 2 persons do test
intraobserver
same person able to reproduce results (if low, test may be faulty)
validity
accuracy, distinguish those with/without
new avenues for screening
23 and me
prenatal screening
development of community health program
lead agency: oversees development
partnerships with community stakeholders
community assessment - systematic data collection
target population resources, health needs, program strategies identified
program constraints (financial, accessibility, follow up services)
screening guidelines
US Preventative Services Task Force puts forth guidelines
how have mammography guidelines changed
kept getting false positives
controversies of screening results
false positives, false negatives; duty to inform?
cutoff points
borderline cases
costs of health screening
social and political forces becoming more cost conscious vs past practice
do costs result in improved health are benefits of screening worth the expenditures required
what are the three approaches to evaluate economic costs and ethics
cost benefit ratio
cost effectiveness
cost efficiency analysis
cost benefit ratio
allow comparison of various outcomes in monetary forms
cost screening vs cost of HPV vaccine for cervical cancer
chronic disease cost calculator - published by CDC is useful
cost effectiveness
detemines optimal use of resources to reach desired health outcome
if there are limited resources, must choose among various screening options
cost efficiency
budget limited funds toward optimizing goal
selection of a screenable population
descision based on incidence and prevalence
goal: minimize costs, maximize benefits
healthy people 2020 and 2030
establishes benchmarks and monitor progress
includes screening objectives
recommend screenings of US preventative services task force
part of agency for healthcare research and quality
ids specific population recommendations
US affordable care act and prevention
mandates coverage for preventative services
medicare advantage programs: enhanced coverage
affordable care act
passed in 2010 focuses on prevention and health promotion to allow preventative services to be covered without copay or coinsurance including medicare and private insurance
national prevention strategy
released in june 2011 still being implemented
addresses clean air and water, healthy foods, violence free environment, healthy homes
empower people in making health choices
eliminate health disparities

stress management
effective intervention for health promotion
management strategies
relaxation and imagery, self monitoring
goal setting, cognitive restructuring
mindfullness and problem solving
what is the goal of stress management
improve quality of life
coping reduces unhealthy consequences
stressor
any psychological ,environmental or physiological stimulus that disrupts homeostasis therby necessitating change or adaptation
homeodynamics
stress not necessarily bad or unhealthy - essential component of being alive
stress triggers adaptive response: positive or negative
describes continuously changing nature and interaction of life
stress threatens homeodynamics which triggers efforts to restore stability
physiological responses
behavioral responses
social responses
extrinsic factors
stressors over which individuals do not have control over
death of spouse, weather
