Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.6K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

1.3K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Barriers to Effective Communication II

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.1K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Medical Education
  • Health Communication

Background:

  • Effective communication is crucial for managing the complex needs of older adults, particularly those experiencing frailty.
  • Existing communication training often focuses narrowly on specific conditions, leaving a gap in broader skill development for geriatric care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and pilot test a multi-modal education and communication training workshop focused on frailty for healthcare clinicians.
  • To evaluate the impact of the workshop on clinicians' knowledge of frailty and their self-reported competency in interacting with older adults.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot testing involved two workshops: one face-to-face (2019) and one virtual (2020).
  • Participants included a convenience sample of nurses, nursing students, and one medical student.
  • A pre/post observational study design was used, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests/Wilcoxon rank test.

Main Results:

  • Both workshops demonstrated statistically significant increases in frailty knowledge (p=0.02, p=0.006) and self-reported competency with older adult interactions (p<0.001).
  • Post-course evaluations were positive, with participants reporting enhanced understanding of frailty, communication strategies, and empathic skills.

Conclusions:

  • The Frailty-focused Communication (FCOM) workshop was successful in improving clinicians' knowledge and skills.
  • The training is effective for healthcare professionals working with older adults across the aging spectrum, from non-frail to frail.
