Discussion Post: Disease Prevention Education: Education Session
At your community agency (SIKH CHURCH) discuss an emerging GHI (global health issue) with your patient population. Choose a GHI that is likely to affect the patient population at your community agency (e.g., COVID 19, Alzheimer's disease, food insecurity). Emerging GHIs may include, but are not limited to, infectious disease, human-trafficking, maternal and newborn health, health inequities, and maldistribution of health care workers.
Use the nursing process, communication techniques, and modalities that you have become familiar with to deliver health counseling. As part of your counseling about GHIs, include resources available in the community (Fresno, CA) to mitigate or prevent the issue (e.g., free vaccines, social services, food banks, housing, transportation, law enforcement).
Evaluate the effectiveness of your health counseling by providing examples of how the individual, family, or group might prevent the emerging health issue.
