Identification of the Focus for Community Teaching
The focus is teaching some dialysis patients about health promotion habits living with End stage renal disease. The teaching targets people of various ages, ethnicities, religions, and cultural beliefs, about primary disease prevention and health promotion which is set to incorporate qualified health care practitioners as the facilitators.
Epidemiological Rationale for Topic
The prevalence rate of ESRD worldwide is 13.4%, and the estimated number of ESRD patients who require renal replacement therapy ranges from 4.902 to 7.083 million. According to Benjamin and Lappin (2021), the condition directly adds to the global incidence of death and morbidity by raising cardiovascular risk globally. The key factors contributing to this disease’s global rise are hypertension, diabetes mellitus, aging, and obesity. In the US, those 65 and older are more likely to have ESRD than those 45 to 64 years or 18 to 44. According to Benjamin and Lappin (2021), it affects more women than males. In addition, non-Hispanic Black adults (16%) experience ESRN more than non-Hispanic White people (13%) or non-Hispanic Asian adults (13%) (Benjamin & Lappin, 2021). According to the research, 14% of Hispanic individuals have ESRD.
Teaching Plan Criteria
The teaching is expected to take up to 5 days, beginning on Monday and ending on a Friday. The activity is scheduled to happen in at least ten public health facilities. The teaching process will require the use of finances to purchase the teaching materials, including brochures, pens, markers, manila charts, fliers, posters, and refreshments. Also, the teaching will include all ages who receive outpatient services at various medical institutions in the locality. The activity will be carried out in the facilities’ hall because the facilities are strategically positioned, and everyone can have access. The event is scheduled to begin from 8:00 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m., after which another facility will be visited from 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Nursing Diagnosis
Excessive fluid volume containing food excesses, reduced urine output, and water and sodium retention will produce the nursing diagnosis for patients with ESRD. According to Benjamin and Lappin (2021), for a successive diagnosis, medical check-ups, screenings, and follow-ups will be used to assess the disease’s prevalence in the area.
Readiness for Learning
The first identification of the readiness will be their response to the campaign materials. If they are optimistic about the campaign material, then it will show they are ready unless otherwise. According to Psaty et al. (2018), factors such as their body language and arriving on time will show that the audience is prepared to learn. Consequently, when they engage in asking and answering questions will depict positive feedback.
Learning Theory to Be Utilized
Teach Back is the most effective teaching strategy. According to Klingbeil & Gibson (2018), the audience will be invited to express what they have learned and can do to enhance health in their own words once all relevant material has been presented.
Goal
The main goal of this specific instructional activity will be to teach the patients how they can promote healthy living habits by avoiding some food and medicine since they suffer from kidney dialysis.
Develop Behavioral Objectives, Content, and Strategies/Methods
Relationship between HP2020 Objective and Alma Ata’s Health
HP2020 and Alma Ata’s health strongly emphasizes health for all to extend life expectancy by reducing the incidence of avoidable illnesses and improving early disease identification and treatment by identifying the difficulties and resolving them whenever they appear.
Creativity
The teaching process will use visual and auditory aids during the teaching process. Also, giving attendees a 10-minute break during the presentation for refreshments and exercise will make an effort to make the session entertaining.
Planned Evaluation of Objectives
After the teaching session, community members will be encouraged to undergo medical check-ups, providing insight to evaluate and analyze the community’s risk of ESRD. Early analysis and check-ups are better because it helps reduce the spread of the disease, and appropriate medication is applied in the early stages before it worsens.
Planned Evaluation of Goal
The overall number of attendees would be an excellent way to determine how successful the exercise was since it provides a clear picture of how the area responded to the event. The number of people who seek clinical screening for the tendency of ESRD occurrence is an essential way to gauge how well-informed the community is about ESRD.
Planned Evaluation of Lesson and Teacher
The method will be assessed using the activity’s daily attendance data. After the move, I will provide the participants with the participation certificate once they have completed a test to determine their level of understanding of the lesson.
Barriers
The primary barriers to community teaching are a lack of funding for the exercise and unpredictable weather changes. Additionally, a defined, structured curriculum for community teaching is lacking since different age groups are involved.
Therapeutic Communication
In this activity, the therapeutic conversation will take place face-to-face. Charts, infographics, and real-life examples of individuals who have adopted primary prevention and health promotion will all be included in the presentation. The seminars will be participatory by asking the audience various questions to gauge their level of active listening.
