Q

Community health nursing theory, practice, and research, is directed at multiple levels of practice, either separately or in concert. Practicing in diverse settings, including____________,_______________, ____________, organizations, community spaces, and the _____________, CHNs support the health and well-being of individuals, families, groups, communities, systems, and populations. Individual- level practice involves working with people to change knowledge, attitudes, practices, and behaviors. When working with individuals, CHNs consider families as both context and influence on individual-level health. They also consider families as the unit of care and use interventions that promote the health of the whole family. Families, of course, make up a healthy neighborhood and community.

A

social ecological theory

39
Q

what theory is this?

considers the multiple social and economic forces resulting in power differentials within society.

A

conceptual models and frameworks

conceptual models and frameworks

44
Q

what conceptual model or framework is this?

this conceptual model depicts the community as a dynamic system that interacts with its environment and moves iteratively through the phases of community assessment, analysis, diagnosis, planning, intervention, and evaluation. it sees interventions as primary, secondary, or tertiary preventive levels, and is consistent with the broad determinants of health.

A

Canadian community as partner

45
Q

what conceptual model or framework is this?

this conceptual model guides CHNs to use collaborative community actions to improve sustainable health outcomes for the community. this is done by employing health promotion strategies at the community level. the nursing process and primary health care are integral to how this model is applied

A

community health promotion model

46
Q

at conceptual model or framework is this?

this widely used Canadian model demonstrates the link between population health and health promotion at various levels of action. the model is used to identify specific actions as well as demonstrate how to combine various actions to create a comprehensive action strategy. attention is directed to individual, family, and community levels.

A

Population health promotion: an integrated model of population health and health promotion

47
Q

what conceptual model or framework is this?

this American nursing conceptual model focuses on health-promoting behavior directed toward positive health outcomes at an individual level. it identifies how a range of individual experiences and characteristics affect the health-promoting behavior of individuals. it is particularly useful in changing personal health especially in home healthcare, but less so for changing social determinants as it does not address the broader population.

A

Health promotion model

48
Q

what conceptual model or framework is this?

the Calgary family assessment model is an integrated, multi-dimensional frame-work based on systems, cybernetics, communication, and change theory. this is a model that can be used to assess a family or as an organizing framework for clinical work with individual families. it focuses on the interaction among all individuals within a family and is inclusive of past, present, and future family members.

A

Calgary family assessment model

49
Q

what conceptual model or framework is this?

this American model outlines nursing care for the individual, family, and community. CHNs practicing in different settings will have different areas of practice and require different kinds of expertise. multi-level practice is described within a population-centered perspective. an integrated approach supports the broad scope of practice in the community and provides a basis for collaboration and partnership

A

an integrative model for community health nursing

50
Q

what conceptual model or framework is this?

also known as the Minnesota intervention wheel, this model demonstrates the relationships between interventions and outcomes for different levels of practice. it depicts how PHNs improve population health through interventions with individuals, families, and communities, as well as the systems that impact on the health of communities. it considers the determinants of health and emphasizes health promotion and prevention interventions to improve population health.

A

intervention wheel

51
Q

______________ theories are broad in their scope, and the concepts are described in abstract terms.
They can be used in a broad range of practice situations and provide high level guidance to practice and research

A

grand

52
Q

what grand nursing theory is this?

this grand nursing theory focuses on the interaction between individuals and their environment. __________ identified four modes of adaptation to achieve health, including physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence. the purpose of this theory is to explain how nurses can facilitate the change process toward an individual’s intended goals.

A

roys adaption model

53
Q

what grand nursing theory is this?

the self-care model aims to facilitate the client- nurse interaction to preserve the integrity of human beings through self-care by offering 10 self-care actions. the agency and capacity of the client are enhanced by strategies directed at controlling, maintaining, and motivating actions toward self-care. Orem explains the need for nursing as the inability to provide self-care due to situations of personal health.

A

self care deficit theory of nursing

54
Q

what grand nursing theory is this?

three principles comprise this theory. the first is that people structure and knowingly choose the meaning of their reality. the second is that people create patterns in their life, which convey meaning and value. the third principle is that people continuously change in life as they engage with and choose from an infinite range of possibilities. Parse’s theory of human becoming fits well with the work of CHNs. the ebb and flow of relationships, altered by changing environmental or personal circumstances, make up the fabric of the work CHNs engage in. understanding and using Parse’s approach helps in moving toward desired outcomes from the client’s perspective, and guides nurses to practice in a wholly respectful way.

A

theory of human becoming

55
Q

_____________________________ theories contain a limited number of variables or concepts, are fairly narrow in their scope ad have a lower level of abstraction than either grand theories or conceptual models. These characteristics increase their usability for theory based practice and research. ______________________ theories not only provide direction for practice, they are used to generate testable hypotheses for research

A

middle range

56
Q

name some middle range theories

A

critical caring theory
strengths based theory
relational inquiry

57
Q

what middle range theory is this?

Canadian nurse scholar Falk-rafael identifies seven carative health-promoting processes that reflect the core of public health nursing. this middle range theory uses a broad definition of client to encompass communities and populations. the carative health-promoting processes include the process of teaching and learning, the creation of supportive and sustainable environments, social justice, building capacity, and honoring local belief systems.

A

critical caring theory

58
Q

what middle range theory is this?

this Canadian approach incorporates thinking about the positives, the things that work well, and what holds potential. it is about finding the balance between focusing on client strengths while at the same time dealing with problems. it is oriented to the individual, family, and community levels of intervention

A

strengths based theory

59
Q

what middle range theory is this?

these Canadian nurse scholars explain how relational practice focuses on the way that personal, interpersonal, and contextual elements shape people’s experiences and life situations. this approach considers how capacities and socio- environmental limitations influence people’s health and illness experiences, decision making, and the various ways of managing health and illness. it recognizes that health, illness, and experiences are shaped by social, economic, cultural, family, historical, and geographical contexts as well as by biology, gender, age, and ability.
an example from practice is work that CHNs do with vulnerable families living in poverty, and the importance of developing a trusting and respectful relationship with individuals and families, as well as with the larger community.

A

relational inquiry

60
Q

_______________ or ________________ theories are the least complex, contain fewer concepts, and refer to specific, well-defined phenomena. Practice theories tend to be prescriptive and thus provide direction for practice

A

supportive care model

62
Q

what practice/substantive theory is this?

A

theory of hope

63
Q

Drawing on nursing’s metaparadigm, CHNs have developed a unique metaparadigm that defines the concepts in ways that reflect their phenomena of concern, explains the levels of practice, and places ____________________ at the core. CHNs’ work has been informed for many years by theoretical perspectives such as social ecological theory, feminism, and critical social theory and more recently by emerging perspectives such as complexity science, postcolonial theory, and intersectionality. CHNs have also developed a range of models and frameworks to guide research and practice that (a) draw from the core theoretical concepts of community health nursing, (b) reflect CHNs’ values base, (c) direct action at the multiple levels of intervention for CHNs, ranging from the individual to society, and (d) encompass the full range of community health nursing competencies across the continuum of care, including health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance and restoration, and palliation.

A

social justice

64
Q

Jason’s story demonstrates how the living conditions in which people are born, live, and play influence their_____________ and increase the chances of preventable ____________. These unfair and avoidable circumstances are commonly referred to as the _______________, where an imbalance of money, resources, opportunity, and power result in health inequities between people in society. Actions to address these conditions that ensure access to health (versus access to healthcare) take place at multiple levels, and CHNs work at all of these levels. CHNs do not work solely with individuals to help them address the problems they encounter after they occur, but they work ________________ to prevent them from occurring—not only for the individuals concerned but for the communities of which they are members. CHNs collaborate and work with families, communities, and populations as well as at the political level to build capacity for people to take action on improving their own health, advocating for the determinants of health in order to promote equity and _______________________
