population or community.
Upon researching these influences and importances in the field of community health, I found this quote and I thought it was a good representation of geopolitical ““The political implications of the campaigns voiced by IPPNW and other professional bodies…are inescapable. If the medical profession flinches from all conceivably political tone…then its influence will be weakened.” (Horton, 2015). Everything involves politics and medical care is a very large part of that because people will always need healthcare and when eing debated it is important for things to be prioritized in the world organiziations to keep populations from epidemics and even on a larger scale. Air travel was revolutionary but it did make the root of epidemiology a lot more complicated.
The nursing process is used in pretty much every field of nursing that there is available. The nursing process is more times than not done without acknowledgement. In community health it is just as important because it is a constant cycle of adapting teaching plans to see what works for THIS community right here. Assessment is one of the most basic forms of nursing, impossible to have interventions without first figuring out which interventions are necessary for this population or community.
The book discusses an assesment tool that is specific to community health. This is called SWOT analysis, this describes the strengt, weaknesses, opporotunities and threats. Diagnosis would be the problem that is in the community whether it be poor food choices, childrens health, or drugs. The plan section of the cycle would be laying out what were going to do to reduce this issue. Interventions would obviously be the actual education, implementation of the plan. Finally we have evaluation, this is where the end result comes through to show the effectiveness. Screenings and referalls will be done according to policy of the institution and hopefully be caught at the soonest the problem is identified.
