José Mendez, a bilingual community health nursing student, worked with the school system in a community that had a large Portuguese subsystem. His primary responsibility was for students enrolled in the town's bilingual program. His contacts included the school nurse and the program teachers.
Assessment
José included the specific group of students, the members of the school system's organizational level, and the population group of the town's Portuguese-speaking residents in his assessment of the aggregate's health needs. José identified the subsystem's lack of primary disease prevention, specifically related to hygiene, dental care, nutrition, and lifestyle choices, by observing the children, interviewing teachers and community residents, and reviewing the literature. José's continued assessment and prioritization revealed that the problem was related to a lack of knowledge and not a lack of concern.
Diagnosis
Individual
• Inadequate preparation at home regarding basic hygiene, dental care, nutrition, and healthy lifestyles
Family
• Developing strengths toward self-care regarding basic hygiene, dental care, nutrition, and healthy lifestyles
Community
• Inadequate resources for communicating basics of hygiene, dental care, nutrition, and healthy lifestyles to the Portuguese community
Planning
The teachers and staff of the bilingual program helped contract and set goals, which reinforced the need for mutuality at this step in the process. A variety of alternative interventions were necessary to accomplish the following goals:
Individual
Long-Term Goal
• Students will regularly practice good hygiene, preventive dental care, good nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep habits.
Short-Term Goal
• Students will learn the basics of good hygiene, preventive dental care, good nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep habits.
Family
Long-Term Goal
• Families will regularly practice and teach their children good hygiene, preventive dental care, good nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep habits.
Short-Term Goal
• Families will learn the basics of good hygiene, preventive dental care, good nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep habits.
Community
Long-Term Goal
• Systematic programs will provide families and their children with education and information regarding the basics of good hygiene, preventive dental care, good nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep habits.
Short-Term Goal
• Bilingual personnel will translate information into Portuguese, and program teachers will distribute it to families. This information will cover the basics of good hygiene, preventive dental care, good nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep habits.
Intervention
• Sometimes nursing students' projects are more limited than the planning stage's ideal; in this case, interventions assessed only one grade level.
Individual
• The student nurse taught children many healthy lifestyle basics, including nutrition, hygiene, and dental care. Classes presented information in Portuguese and English.
Family
• All parents received a summary of the class content in both languages and in pictures.
Community
• The local teachers communicated the student nurse's activities to their state-level coordinators, and the coordinators incorporated the student nurse's materials into the bilingual program throughout the state.
Evaluation
Individual, Family, Community
This community health planning project had an impact on the individuals in the specific aggregate and had broader implications for the family systems and the community suprasystem. The outcomes, or product, were hugely successful. Mutually identified goals and objectives influenced the development of the process and incorporated input from a variety of sources. The student nurse believed the resources and support for the bilingual program were adequate. Although the student nurse addressed only primary prevention, the continuing nature of the project will allow the teachers, the school nurse, and the families to assess problems related to the program's content. Future implementation may address secondary and tertiary prevention.
