Report
Public health nursing is an important piece of the healthcare platform as it includes the health of those in the community and various populations. Interventions are actions established for individuals and implemented to improve outcomes regarding the health of an individual, community, or population (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2020). The Intervention Wheel is made up of 17 different interventions grouped in different wedges. While all the interventions are important, I feel the two most important are health teaching and policy development and enforcement. Health teaching involves settings beyond a classroom or doctor’s office. It involves personalized teaching with individuals, groups, or communities to educate on health needs or challenges. Health teaching is an excellent way to provide pertinent health information to populations that are experiencing challenges or have goals to achieve. By teaching individuals and communities, we can help promote optimal health, keep patients safe at home and out of the hospitals, actively involve patients in managing their health, and help decrease and prevent diseases. This intervention can be used with an aggregate by identifying the aggregates health challenges or goals and providing teaching and education regarding the health concern as well as providing interventions to improve outcomes and promote optimal health. Policy development and enforcement is another important intervention, especially in public health nursing. Healthcare policies are established to address issues such as access to healthcare. When a new healthcare policy is established and promoted, it positively impacts entire communities and healthcare organizations. This intervention can be used with an aggregate by collecting data specific to the aggregate and advocate how a policy change could directly improve health outcomes for that target population.
