Module 1 Assignment

Health Risk Assessment and Health Promotion Contract

Complete your Health Risk Self-Assessment and Health Promotion Contract. [Note: Submission of this assignment is a requirement to pass this course. It is not optional. Your Journal and Journal Analysis are based on them]

For the Health Risk Self-Assessment, provide a summary of your current health status in each of the sections. Be sure to include any information regarding your health and lifestyle that might play a role in your overall wellness.

Create your Health Promotion Contract.

For each section of the HealthSelf-Assessment in the document below, provide a substantial summary of your current health status.In each section’s summary, be sure to include any information regarding your health and lifestyle that might play a role in your overall wellness.

You will contract to change/improve one health behavior during this course. Your HealthRisk Assessment can give you guidance on your choice, but ultimately the choice is yours.

Part of the contract requires you to evaluate your current “stage of change” according to the stages described by Zimmerman, Olsen, and Bosworth in the article, “A ‘Stages of Change’ Approach to Helping Patients Change Behavior.” (Stages of Change article.)

You will be tracking your progress toward the goals in your contract by completing journal entries for four weeks, then analyzing your motivation, successes, and obstacles in the final week of the course.

Objectives: 

•             Devise a personal Health Promotion contract to be used for the duration of the course.

•             Discuss the Stages of Change model in relation to health behavior changes for others and self.

Health Promotion Contract

Your goals should be written in SMART goal format, meaning they should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. Please go to this website for more detailed information on SMART goal format: Smart Goal Format article

Identify one goal to work toward during this course, knowing that you will be journaling about your progress in your journaling assignment, four times a week for four weeks.

An example of a goal that is NOT in SMART goal format is: I will walk more often.

An example of a properly formatted SMART goal is:

I, (student name), agree to walk for 30 minutes, three times a week by 8/3/20. (The date inserted here should be the Saturday of Module 4 for your course.)

Your SMART goal:

1.            I,                                                                                                                  [Name]

                agree to

                                by  [date:    [Saturdayof Module 4]

2.            I will use the following tools to monitor my progress:

The weekly assignment Journal and (at least one other tool)-

                [chart, graph, scales, etc., as appropriate for your goal]

3.            To reach my final goal I have devised the following schedule of goals and

rewards [Need two mini-goals and your final goal (as written above in #1) and also list rewards for all. Be sure that your mini goals match your final goal, meaning they are in alignment with and will help you achieve your final goal.As in the example goal of walking, then both mini goals should address walking – see highlighted area below].

You should have a total of 3 goals, 3 dates, and 3 rewards in the template below.

GOALS	TARGET DATE	REWARD
Mini goal example: I will walk 10 minutes twice a week	Mini goal end date: 8/1/20	Take time to get a manicure
Mini goal #1:write your specific measurable mini goal here-	Saturday, Module 2 of your course Insert target month/day/year	Write your reward here:
Mini goal #2:write your specific measurable mini goal here-	Saturday, Module 3 of your course Insert target month/day/year	Write your reward here:
Final Goal(exactly as written in #1 above in the SMART goal organizer,see the highlighted example below): write your specific measureable Final Goal here-	Saturday, Module 4 of your course Insert target month/day/year	Write your reward here:

Example of how your Final Goal should be written/formatted in the Final Goal box above:

I, (student name), agree to walk for 30 minutes, three times a week by 8/3/20. (The date            inserted here should be the Saturday of Module 4 for your course.)

4.            I amcurrentlyin the _______________________ Stage of Change(Must be a stage of change from the six stages of change in the article read this week) because:

Module 2 Assignment

Sleep/Stress Analysis

Complete the “Sleep/Stress Analysis” assignment.

Submit the assignment by 2359 on Saturday.

Overview: Sleep/Stress Analysis

You will review your Sleep Log, reflecting the types of sleep and the impact of sleep deprivation on health. You’ll conduct a short Sleep Analysis using data from your Sleep Log.

Referring to the weekly readings, you will identify which level best describes your own stress.

You will also self-assess your stress levels and personality type using online tools, and analyze the implications of your own typical and atypical stress levels.

You are encouraged to practice stress-reduction techniques, some of which are described in

your readings. As a healthcare professional, you will often find yourself in stressful situations,

but applying such techniques to yourself will help you teach those skills to your stressed clients.

Objective: 

•             Analyze one’s own sleep patterns.

•             Discuss current research on the negative consequences of sleep deprivation.

•             Describe the physiological, emotional and behavioral responses to stress.

•             Discuss components of stress management.

Sleep Analysis

Average Sleep Time

Use your Sleep Log to calculate your average hours of sleep per day for the week.

State the average below, explaining if and why you included any napping times.

(Total hours of sleep/Number of days)

Sleepiness

Highlightthe statement or statements that best describes you most frequently during

your sleep study week:

•             I fought off/ignored a need to sleep.

•             I often feel sleepy during the day (or night if you work nights).

•             I dozed off/fell asleep without meaning to.

•             I needed caffeine or another stimulant drug to stay awake.

•             I had no issues with feeling sleepy other than at bedtime.

Answer the following reflection questions: (2-3 sentences per question)

1.            What are the implications of sleepiness or lack of sleep on your life?

2.            How does feeling tired or sleepy impact your productivity at work or interfere with school, family or exercise activities?

3.            What healthyactions could you take to alleviate sleepiness?

Stress Analysis

Stress Levels

Referring to the article, “Understanding your Stress Levels,” explain which level of stress best explains your typical week. State specific reasons why you place yourself in that level. Explain regular instances in which your stress level either escalates or diminishes.

Module 3 Assignment

Exercise Prescription

Overview: Exercise Prescription

Expecting every individual to utilize the same exercise plan would be like expecting a doctor to prescribe the same medication, or dose of medication, without taking into account the individual’s age, weight, health status, or other medications. You will write an Exercise Prescription for yourself based on the FITT format:

•             Frequency – how often?

•             Intensity – how hard? (as measured by the Perceived Exertion Scale located at this link and summarized below: https://www.verywell.com/perceived-exertion-scale-1231117)

RPE Levels of Perceived Exertion

•             Level 1: I’m watching TV and eating bonbons

•             Level 2: I’m comfortable and could maintain this pace all day long

•             Level 3: I’m still comfortable, but am breathing a bit harder

•             Level 4: I’m sweating a little, but feel good and can carry on a conversation effortlessly

•             Level 5: I’m just above comfortable, am sweating more and can still talk easily

•             Level 6: I can still talk, but am slightly breathless

•             Level 7: I can still talk, but I don’t really want to. I’m sweating like a pig

•             Level 8: I can grunt in response to your questions and can only keep this pace for a short time period

•             Level 9: I am probably going to die

•             Level 10: I am dead

•             Time – how long?

•             Type – mode of activity

You will begin by calculating your own Body-Mass Index (BMI) and evaluating that value with regard to your age, general health status, and body type. You will also calculate your target heart rate range (65%-85%) using the Karvonen Formula found in your Reading and Media (specifically, the Calculating Target Heart Rates video) for this week. Then, you will set reasonable, measureablegoals for each of the three health components and prescribe exercises that will help you reach those goals. Your plan should align with your goals and be realistic.

Objectives:

•             Discuss the current recommendations for age-appropriate exercise.

•             Devise an Exercise Prescription for yourself.

•             Describe health promotion benefits of aerobic, strengthening, and stretching exercise.

Exercise Prescription: (Remember that goals must be realistic and measureable. Review your Health Promotion Contract for examples of how to write a measureable goal)

My BMI(show calculation)=

Detailed evaluation of BMI (explanation of what this number means to you):

	F Frequency (How often?)	I Intensity (See levels 1-10 above)	T Time (How long?)	T Type (Mode of activity)
