Subject.

This unit will enable students to develop knowledge and skills in this increasingly important area of nursing and midwifery practice. Primary Health Care theory, including health education, health promotion and behaviour-change models will be studied. Students will learn how to access and analyse epidemiological health data, in order to identify the health needs of communities and incorporate these into nursing and midwifery practice. The skills needed to plan health promotion activities in order to encourage good health and meet community health needs will be examined. An important aspect of this unit is the consideration of how good health can be encouraged within the role of nurses and midwives for individuals, families and communities and across all ages and cultures.

Process and Protocols for developm ent of your essay

This essay reflects the learning provided in the first 5 topics of the semester. The aim of the essay is to provide opportunity for you to demonstrate your new knowledge to real time practice in the community.

• Briefly describe your population and give an overview of the structure and focus of your paper. • Using epidemiological data you are required to describe your selected population/community. Data might include ( age, gender location etc.). This can then be compared to mainstream data ( comparative data) to provide context and meaning. • Outline the health issues that are common to your chosen population. i.e. Chronic diseases, infectious diseases, childhood conditions. It is not necessary to discuss the pathology or signs and symptoms of the diseases. • Outline social determinants of health that relate to the chosen community/population. It is necessary to discuss at least three to demonstrate ‘why’ your population is at risk of experiencing the health issues that it does from a social health perspective. • With reference to the Covid-19 pandemic discuss how the data collected and collated will support your practice and the implementation of PHC principles, towards maintenance of a healthy community.
