Hi there, 

I need assistance in nursing class I am taking creating an APA format, 15-20 power point presentation (excluding title and reference slides). The culture chosen is African American. The instructions for the assignment are as follows:

• Power point must include:
  1) Title/Include Names of Students
• 2) Ethnic/racial Identity
• 3) History and Value Orientation
• 4) Language-communication Process
• 5) Health Beliefs and Healing Practices
• 6) Religious Beliefs and Spirituality

In addition, these topics must include:

1. Ethnic/racial identity: How does the group identify itself in terms ethnicity and racial background? What is the range of interaction outside of the cultural group? Are recreational, educational, and other social activities within the ethnic reference group, the wider community, or both?
2. History and Value Orientation: How are values derived? What is the historical experience of the group that may have impacted values?
3. Language-communication process: What languages are spoken in the home? And by whom? What language is preferred when speaking to outsiders? Do second and third generations in the U.S. speak the language of their grandparents?
4. Health Belief and Practices: What are the traditional health beliefs? How common are these beliefs and practices within this group? To what extent are folk healing practices and practitioners used?
5. Religious Belief and Spirituality: Religious articles & practices, how spirituality is defined. Remember that Religious Beliefs and Spirituality are different concepts.
6. Life-cycle events: Which life cycle events are important to the culture? What are the customs associated with births, coming of age, marriage, and death?
7. Nutritional Behavior/Diet: Are there restrictions? Are there common practices?
8. Medical health care access and experience: Is access to care and equality of care an issue for this group? For example, are group members less likely to receive needed care due to system issues such as financial access or provider biases than another group? (Note: This is a big topic which will be studied in more depth later, but since the interface with health care has had a strong impact on cultural expectations and practices, it will be helpful to begin to examine this aspect of culture in this cultural assessment).
9. Identify actual or potential health risks among group members.

Please let me know who can assist with this. 

Thank you!

 

Community Level Interventions 

The windshield survey summary will require you to apply what you have learned through your basic windshield survey of Sentinel City® to a target population of your choosing. You will complete your project by comparing data from Sentinel City® with similar data from the city where your target population lives.

Your presentation will include 9 parts, which are described in detail below and include details in the speaker notes.

I. Introduction

Provide a brief introduction that identifies the demographics for the city where your target population lives.

II. Description of Your Target Population

Compose a detailed description of your chosen target population. In this section, you will describe the demographic characteristics of your chosen target population, including the population’s socioeconomic status, vital statistics, education level, religion, and occupations. Include a table, graph, and/or figure display that includes relevant demographic data for your target population. 

III. Comparison of Sentinel City Demographic Data

Compare the demographic data of Sentinel City® with the demographic data from the city where your target population is located. You should present this information in a clear to understand table.

IV. Key Health Concerns or Issues

Present a list of the top 3 health concerns for your target population. Provide a brief description of these concerns and include data from your target population city that supports the rationale for selecting these health concerns. Select one of the 3 health concerns you identified and state why you decided to develop an intervention that addresses these particular health concerns/issues. Include the Healthy People 2020 objective that relates to your identified health concerns. 

V. Community Health Nursing Diagnosis

Develop a community health nursing diagnosis based on your analysis of the demographic and health status data that you gathered.

Your community health nursing diagnosis should be written using the following format (Nies & McEwen, 2011, p. 101):

Increased risk of (disability, disease, etc.) among (community or population) related to (disability, disease, etc.) as demonstrated in or by (health status indicator, or etiological/causal statement).

Examples:

Increased risk of obesity among school age children related to lack of safe outdoor play areas for children as demonstrated by above average BMI rates. 

Increased risk of depression among persons with a physical disability related to the lack of handicap accessible facilities and social isolation as demonstrated by high suicide rate

VI. A & B. Intervention to Address the Diagnosis

Describe your proposed intervention that will address the community health nursing diagnosis for your target population. You may choose to develop your own intervention or modify one that was recommended by the Task Force on Community Preventive Services (TFCPS).

To view recommended interventions, visit the TFCPS website and select the topic you plan on addressing for your intervention. (Note: at the bottom of most topic pages on the TFCPS website there is a sample on how to cite the webpage. After reviewing the topics, click the “Resources” tab then click “Fact Sheets”. Here you may find fact sheets to share with your mentor at your practice learning site.)

Whether you modify an existing intervention or develop one of your own, you must discuss why this intervention will or why you needed to modify it because it would not work for your target population. Include advantages, population fit, and barriers in use of the intervention. You should include the long-term goals, two measurable objectives, and the required resources such as: time, equipment, finances, etc. [Note: you are not required to carry out your intervention]

VII. Evaluation Plan

Describe your method for evaluating the objectives of your intervention (for example, pre/post-test, survey, questionnaire, phone interview).  Include one long term goal and two short-term measurable objectives.

Example of goals and measurable objectives:

Goal – To increase my potential for promotion at my place of employment

Objective – Complete all undergraduate nursing courses with a B+ or higher

Objective – Complete the American Sentinel University BSN program before 2020

Goal – To learn about public health nursing

Objective – Describe community health levels of prevention

Objective – List the 8 subsystems of a community

VIII. Summary of Sentinel City®

Summarize the assets (strengths) in Sentinel City® pertaining to the 8 community subsystems. In addition to the “people” (the core) of the community, there are eight subsystems that come together to form the assessment data for your windshield survey, which will contribute to your overall community assessment of Sentinel City®. The eight subsystems within every community include: 1) physical environment, 2) safety and transportation, 3) health and social services, 4) education, 5) recreation, 6) politics and government, 7) communication, and 8) economics.

Include your recommendations for improving/strengthening specific subsystems in Sentinel City®.  Discuss other recommended changes or additions needed to improve the health of the population living in Sentinel City®.

IX. Reference List

Include references that were used as you developed your plan.

For the purpose of this assessment cite the Sentinel City® demographic data as follows:

U. S. Census Bureau. (2010). American FactFinder fact sheet:  Sentinel City, USA Retrieved January 31, 2014, from https://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/
