Development of a Community Health Promotion Program
Introduction
The community health diagnosis, as previously identified, entail: The risk of increased complications of diabetes among the people living in Saskatchewan is related to low income, as manifested by the increase in the prevalence of diabetes (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2020). The development of the community participation program for diabetes prevention is to serve the need of the condition, therefore reducing such incidences of diabetes amongst the low-income population in Saskatchewan province. The program is developed based on the requirement to delay the onset of diabetes amongst high-risk individuals. This is made possible by ensuring profound adjustment to the diabetes patients’ lifestyle behaviours, such as dieting and physical exercises (Peate, 2019). The community-based programs should be delivered easily, irrespective of literacy levels, cultural inclinations, and socioeconomic status. For the community-based diabetes program to make the required difference with the community, there is a need for improvement on control measures by providing timely information across the community. Additionally, the information has to be accessible, and delivery conforms to cultural beliefs, literacy levels, and socioeconomic status (Bird et al., 2015).
Objectives
Objective 1:
To synthesize the existing evidence from a consultative perspective and analysis of the health service need component of diabetic patients.
Rationale: The rationale of this aim entails helping in the identification of various opportunities that helps in considering and determining priorities. Further, the objective also helps in the assessment of available options necessary for the development of future health plans (Harrison & Gibbons, 2013).
Outcome measures: availability of social support and individual coping skills,
Objective 2:
To establish the different intervention measures appropriate for the management of diabetes.
Rationale: The rationale behind this objective is that consideration of available options provides diabetic patients with different means of accessing information from different potential sources. The patients can find anticipated intervention measures, their applicability alongside appropriateness of the approach as applicable elsewhere (Fentanyl Crisis, 2017).
Outcome measure: Healthy behaviours
Objective 3:
To establish the perception of diabetes patients on the actual adoption of technology for education and awareness on diabetes management.
Rationale: The rationale backs the success of various interventions such as the influence of technology application through mobile phones for promoting education and creating awareness on diabetes (Bird et al., 2015).
Outcome measure: Application of appropriate technology such as m-Health services
Health promotion programs
Beattie’s health promotion model operates on the premise of an analytical process capable of identifying various health promotion components that entails social and cultural practices (Weiss et al., 2021). The model has the capability of analyzing present alongside previous health promotion strategies, including individual roles. Further, analysis of necessary resources alongside generation of new strategies that help when it comes to conducting successful health promotion strategies. The model has four quadrants that allow health promotion through professionals, governments, and individuals by use of different techniques such as health persuasion techniques, legislative action, community development, and personal counselling (Bird et al., 2015).
The model provides a comprehensive approach that covers different scenarios of the health-related interventions for diabetic patients. The structure of the model promotes various informed appraisals both longitudinally and cross-sectionally that helps identify the best course of action for diabetic patients amongst the low-economy population in Saskatchewan. In this case, the obtained results could easily be compared to other regions outputs on the same low-economy population. Such a process would help demonstrate the need for implementing various strategic changes capable of improving and modifying existing interventions for effectiveness. The individual quadrants portray actors’ nature applicable in the program implementation process (Garwood et al., 2018).
Community development approach
Assessment phase
The community nurses provide the community development approach towards diabetic patients alongside community health extension workers and volunteers (Appendix II). The program works in relation to the health action model that premises on the idea that patients’ individual behaviours are connected in a triadic structure where behavior, personal factors alongside the environment influence each other (Vollan, 2017). The assessment help provides information on patient irrational actions towards drugs despite awareness of the health risks involved. The process helps identify various irrational decisions patients make upon weighing options that prompt them to act in the most reasonable way. Such a belief system alongside a normative system motivates a patient towards a designed health outcome. This phase identifies various practical implications on health promotion compared to the theoretical analysis of the different available approaches (O’Neil et al., 2021).
Planning phase
The community engagement approach clearly demonstrates the capability of creating a transformative environment across the province amongst the diabetic population that far-exceeds the outcome as experienced through authoritative measures as practised by governments (Weiss et al., 2021). The diabetic patients will likely follow the best practice treatment recommendations, specifically amongst the Saskatchewan population with low medical and commercial claim costs. The application of the self-management approach will be essential in educating and supporting those at risk for diabetes with efforts geared towards the prevention of the diabetes onset. The introduction of the Diabetes Prevention Program as an evidence-based program within the community would help people at risk for diabetes, especially in developing as well as maintaining their behaviors. Such behaviors either prevent or delay the onset of diabetes (Vollan, 2017).
The development of such a program requires adequate health knowledge, language literacy, self-efficacy on the use and mobile devices in communicating tailored messages concerning diabetes. In this case, efficient internet connectivity and well-equipped healthcare infrastructure would be required (Alzheimer Society of Canada, 2020). The analysis of such healthcare needs for the population provides an understanding of health services requirements, the health system available, and the region’s infrastructure in general—the general picture concerning the quality of healthcare services and available healthcare practitioners in this case. Provision of service needs within the province amongst diabetic patients focuses on such objectives as efficiency, effectiveness, and coordination.
Evaluation phase
In this phase, the application of service needs to help identify and establish specific links between services that prioritize healthcare organizations. In this case, service mapping would ensure identification as well as appropriate documentation of the available healthcare services within Saskatchewan province. The needs assessment incorporates aspects such as acceptability, capability, quality, responsiveness alongside utilization. The system’s efficiency in dealing with diabetic cases is key to the development of a good program (Harrison & Gibbons, 2013).
The evaluation of the community development program as one of the approaches follows the app...
