Addressing the specific health concern in your community.

 


will resume the role of a community nurse tasked with addressing the specific health concern in your community. This time, you will present, via educational outreach, the hypothetical health promotion plan you developed in Assessment 1 to your fictitious audience. In this hypothetical scenario, you will simulate the presentation as though it would be live and face-to-face. You must determine an effective teaching strategy, communicate the plan with professionalism and cultural sensitivity, evaluate the objectives of the plan, revise the plan as applicable, and propose improvement for future educational sessions. To engage your audience, you decide to develop a PowerPoint presentation with voice-over and speaker notes to communicate your plan

• Prepare a 10–12 slide PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over and detailed speaker notes that reflects your hypothetical presentation. This presentation is the implementation of the plan you created in Assessment 1. The speaker notes should be well organized. Be sure to include a transcript of the voice-over (please refer to the PowerPoint tutorial). The transcript can be submitted on a separate Word document.
• Simulate the hypothetical face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected community individual or group.
• Imagine collaborating with the hypothetical participant(s) in setting goals for the session, evaluating session outcomes, and suggesting possible revisions to improve future sessions.
As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Conducting an Effective Educational Session activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider key issues in conducting an effective educational session for a selected audience. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.
Presentation Format and Length
You may use Microsoft PowerPoint (preferred) or other suitable presentation software to create your presentation. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your faculty to avoid potential file compatibility issues.
The number of content slides in your presentation is dictated by nature and scope of your health promotion plan. Be sure to include title and references slides per the following:
• Title slide:
o Health promotion plan title.
o Your name.
o Date.
o Course number and title.
• References (at the end of your presentation).
o Be sure to apply correct APA formatting to your references.
The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the assessment scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
• Present your health promotion plan to your hypothetical audience.
o Tailor the presentation to the needs of your hypothetical audience.
o Adhere to scholarly and disciplinary writing standards and APA formatting requirements.
• Evaluate educational session outcomes and the attainment of agreed-upon health goals in collaboration with participants.
o Which aspects of the session would you change?
o How might those changes improve future outcomes?
• Evaluate educational session outcomes in terms of progress made toward Healthy People 2030 objectives and leading health indicators.
o What changes would you recommend to better align the session with Healthy People 2030 objectives and leading health indicators?

Effective Teaching Strategy

 

For a face-to-face educational session addressing a specific community health concern (e.g., poor diabetes management, low vaccination rates, or lack of physical activity), the most effective teaching strategy is the Participatory Learning Model combined with Explicit Teaching and Collaborative Learning.

Rationale: This strategy moves beyond a simple lecture (which has low transfer) to actively engage the participants, respect their prior knowledge, and empower them to practice the new skills in a supportive environment.

Key Techniques:

"Teach-Back" Method: Used to confirm the audience understands the main health concepts.

Goal Setting (SMART): Collaboratively establishing measurable goals.

Skill Demonstration & Return Demonstration: Showing a skill (e.g., proper glucometer use, reading a nutrition label) and having the participants practice it.

Slide #Slide TitleVoice-Over Transcript (Example)Speaker Notes (Detailed Implementation)
1Title Slide: [Your Plan Title]"Good morning, everyone. I'm [Your Name], the community nurse, and I'm thrilled to be here today to discuss improving our community's health through [Plan Topic]."Time: 1 minute. Tone: Professional, welcoming, culturally respectful. Acknowledge the audience's willingness to participate.
2🤝 Setting Our Course: Today's Goals"Before we dive in, let's agree on what success looks like today. We want to understand [Health Concern] and set some clear, achievable health goals together."Goal Collaboration: Begin with the goals set in Assessment 1, but open the floor for audience feedback/refinement. Use SMART criteria: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.
3Understanding the Need: [Health Concern]"Why are we here? [Health Concern] affects many of us. This is what the science tells us and how it impacts our community specifically..."Content: Present statistics or impact data (e.g., local obesity rates, hypertension prevalence). Cultural Sensitivity: Use inclusive language and acknowledge potential cultural/economic barriers to health.
4The Core Solution: The [Plan Name] Plan"Our plan focuses on three key steps: 1) Knowledge, 2) Skills, and 3) Support. Today, we'll focus heavily on skills."Content: Overview of the Intervention from your Assessment 1 plan. Clearly articulate the health promotion strategy (e.g., behavior modification, policy change).
5Step 1: Skill Development: [Specific Skill]"Let's learn and practice [Specific Skill, e.g., proper portion control / reading a food label]. Watch me first, then we'll try it together."Teaching Strategy: Explicit Teaching & Demonstration. Use a practical example. Speaker notes should detail the step-by-step demonstration process.
6Step 2: Barrier Busting & Problem Solving"We know real life gets in the way. What challenges do you anticipate? Let's brainstorm solutions as a group."Teaching Strategy: Collaborative Learning & Discussion. Facilitate a small-group discussion on potential barriers (e.g., cost, time, lack of local resources) and record practical solutions offered by participants.
7My Action Plan (Self-Efficacy)"Now, grab your handout. Based on what we've learned, write down ONE specific change you will make in the next 7 days."Tool: Action Planning Template.

8✅ Evaluation: Did We Hit Our Targets?"It's time to see how we did today. Did we meet the three goals we set on Slide 2? Please raise your hand if you feel confident in [Specific Skill]."Evaluation Collaboration: Conduct a Process Evaluation (Did the session run well?) and an Immediate Outcome Evaluation (Did participants learn the key skills/increase confidence?). Use a short post-test or confidence scale ($1-5$).
9Revisions and Future Improvements"Thank you for your honest feedback. Based on your input, here are two areas we should revise for our next session..."Revision/Improvement: Based on the hypothetical evaluation results (e.g., Participants struggled with the food label task or The session felt too short), propose specific revisions (e.g., "Add 15 minutes for hands-on practice," or "Provide larger print resources").
10Healthy People 2030 Alignment"Our work here directly supports the national goals for a healthier America, known as Healthy People 2030."HP2030 Evaluation: Explicitly link the session's success to a relevant HP2030 Objective (e.g., NWS-06: Reduce the proportion of adults with obesity) and a Leading Health Indicator (LHI) (e.g., LHI: Adults with obesity).
