Community-academic partnerships improve senior health outcomes. Faculty practice coalitions enhance nursing roles and community engagement, though elders desire greater program ownership.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Gerontology
  • Nursing Education

Background:

  • Faculty practice partnerships with community coalitions offer a dynamic strategy for nursing.
  • The Escalante ElderCARE Coalition, formed in 1991, involves over 50 aging and community agencies.
  • Over $300,000 in grant funding supports Healthy WAY services for low-income seniors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a faculty practice coalition on the health and satisfaction of low-income seniors.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a community-based health promotion program.
  • To explore the role of nursing students in nontraditional service delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a conceptual model based on participation theory.
  • Employed Short Form 36 (SF-36) and Lifestyle Directions Questionnaire for health status.

  • Collected data on elder satisfaction, coalition effectiveness, and cost-savings.

    • Main Results:

    • Elders reported improved health scores in six SF-36 dimensions compared to the general older US population.
    • Seniors expressed high satisfaction with Healthy WAY programs.
    • Elders perceived less program ownership than coalition agency professionals.

    Conclusions:

    • Faculty practice coalitions are effective public health strategies for improving senior health.
    • Coalitions foster proactive, advanced practice roles for faculty.
    • Enhancing elder perceived ownership in programs is recommended for future initiatives.
