Summary
Parish nurses used community-based participatory research (CBPR) to identify high obesity rates. This data guided interventions and grant proposals, enhancing community health services.
Area of Science:
- Community Health Nursing
- Public Health Research
- Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)
Background:
- Parish nurses are vital in improving community health via faith-based programming.
- Community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles enhance intervention development and evaluation.
- Faith communities serve as key settings for health promotion initiatives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To apply CBPR principles in an urban setting to address community health needs.
- To partner university graduate students with a Hospital Parish Nurse Program (HPNP).
- To utilize assessment data to inform HPNP resource allocation and intervention focus.
Main Methods:
- A collaborative project between graduate students and an HPNP in an urban community.
- Implementation of CBPR principles for community health assessment.
- Data collection and analysis to identify prevalent health issues.
Main Results:
- Assessment data revealed high obesity rates within the community.
- The HPNP re-focused resources and interventions on addressing obesity.
- Data informed successful grant proposals to expand obesity-focused services.
Conclusions:
- CBPR is an effective framework for parish nursing interventions.
- Data-driven approaches enhance the impact of community health programs.
- HPNPs can leverage research partnerships to secure funding and expand services for critical health issues like obesity.
