Module 8 Final
Project

The final project for this course will require you to apply
what you have learned through your Windshield Survey of Sentinel City to a
target population of your choosing. You will complete your project by comparing
data from Sentinel City with similar data from the city where your target
population lives. Many of the discussions and assignments throughout this
course will build towards the completion of the final project. Your final
project will be a 14-20 slide PowerPoint presentation submitted during Week 8.
You must view the Final Project Rubric below in order to accurately complete
this assignment. It is suggested that you do this during the first week of
class.

Your final presentation will include 10 parts, which are
described in detail below.

I. Introduction

Provide a brief introduction that includes the mission
statement, vision, and/or the goals of your practice learning site.

II. Description of Your Target Population

Compose a detailed description of your chosen target
population, which is a specific group served by your practice learning site. In
this section you will describe the demographic characteristics of your chosen
target population, including the population’s socioeconomic status, vital
statistics, education level, religion, and occupations. Include a table, graph,
and/or figure display that includes relevant demographic data for your target
population.

III. Comparison of Sentinel City Demographic Data

Compare the demographic data of Sentinel City with the
demographic data from the city where your practice learning site is located.
You should present this information in a clear to understand table. You can use
the Data Comparison Table provided in Module 2.

IV. Key Informants

Identify 3 key informants in the city where your practice
learning site is located and 2-3 questions you would ask them. Examples of key
informants include, but are not limited to: political leaders, health care
providers, service providers such as mail carriers or shop owners, members of
the fire or police departments and long term residents of the community. People
who live and work in the community are a rich source of information and can
often provide data not found in printed form. Your mentor from your Practice
Experience will serve as the 4th key informant. Include specific quotes in
response to the questions you asked your mentor that support and/or contradict
information cited in the literature.

V. Key Health
Concerns or Issues

Present a list of the top 3 health concerns for your target
population. Provide a brief description of these concerns and include data from
you target population city that supports the rationale for selecting these
health concerns. Select one of the three health concerns you identified and
state why you decided to develop an intervention that addresses this particular
health concern/issue. Include the Healthy People 2020 objective that relates to
your identified health concerns.

VI. Community Health Nursing Diagnosis

Develop a community health nursing diagnosis based on your
analysis of the demographic and health status data that you gathered, as well
as your conversations with the key informants. You may consult with your
practice learning site mentor to help you develop this diagnosis.

Your community health nursing diagnosis should be written
using the following format:

Increased risk of (disability, disease, etc.) among
(community or population) related to (disability, disease, etc.) as
demonstrated in or by (health status indicator, or etiological/causal
statement).

Examples:

Increased risk of obesity among school age children related
to lack of safe outdoor play areas for children as demonstrated by above
average BMI rates.

Increased risk of depression among persons with a physical
disability related to the lack of handicap accessible facilities and social
isolation as demonstrated by high suicide rate

VII A & B. Intervention to Address the Diagnosis

Describe your proposed intervention that will address the
community health nursing diagnosis for your target population. You may choose
to develop your own intervention, or modify one that was recommended by the
Task Force on Community Preventive Services (TFCPS).

To view recommended interventions, visit the TFCPS website
and select the topic you plan on addressing for your intervention. (Note: at
the bottom of most topic pages on the TFCPS website there is a sample on how to
cite the webpage. After reviewing the topics, click the “Resources” tab then
click “Fact Sheets”. Here you may find fact sheets to share with your mentor at
your practice learning site.)

Whether you modify an existing intervention or develop one
of your own, you must discuss why this intervention will or why you needed to
modify it because it would not work for your target population. Include
advantages, population fit, and barriers in use of the intervention. You should
include the long-term goals, two measurable objectives, and the required
resources such as: time, equipment, finances, etc. [Note: you are not required
to carry out your intervention but may present it to your practicum site
mentor]

VIII. Evaluation Plan

Describe your method for evaluating the objectives of your
intervention (for example, pre/post-test, survey, questionnaire, phone
interview). Include one long term goal
and two short-term measurable objectives.

Example of goals and measurable objectives:

Goal – To increase my potential for promotion at my place of
employment

Objective – Complete all undergraduate nursing courses with
a B+ or higher

Objective – Complete the American Sentinel University BSN
program before 2020

Goal – To learn about public health nursing

Objective – Describe community health levels of prevention

Objective – List the 8 subsystems of a community

IX. Summary of Sentinel City

Summarize the assets (strengths) in Sentinel City pertaining
to the 8 community subsystems. In addition to the “people” (the core)
of the community, there are eight subsystems that come together to form the
assessment data for your windshield survey, which will contribute to your
overall community assessment of Sentinel City. The eight subsystems within
every community include: 1) physical environment, 2) safety and transportation,
3) health and social services, 4) education, 5) recreation, 6) politics and
government, 7) communication, and 8) economics.

Include your recommendations for improving/strengthening
specific subsystems in Sentinel City.
Discuss other recommended changes or additions needed to improve the
health of the population living in Sentinel City.

X. Reference List

Include a minimum of 6 references in APA format. The
reference list should include relevant websites from state or federal sources
and from peer reviewed professional journals. Journal articles do not have to
be limited to nursing journals. No more than 50% of references should be from
websites.
