Description

This is a continuation of the health promotion program proposal, part one, which you submitted previously. Please approach this assignment as an opportunity to integrate instructor feedback from part I and expand on ideas adhering to the components of the MAP-IT strategy. Include necessary levels of detail you feel appropriate to assure stakeholder buy-in.

Directions

You have already completed the steps 1-4. Make sure you revise this initial submission according to your instructor’s comments.

1. Describe the health problem. Using data and statistics support your claim that the issue you selected is a problem. What specifically will you address in your proposed health promotion program?

Be sure your proposed outcome is realistic and measurable.

2. Describe the vulnerable population and setting. What are the risk factors that make this a vulnerable population? Use evidence to support the risk factors you have identified.
3. Provide a review of literature from scholarly journals of evidence-based interventions that address the problem. After completing a library search related to effective interventions for your chosen health promotion activity, you will write a review that evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of all the sources you have found. You might consult research texts for information on how to write a review of the literature found in your search.

Health Promotion Program Proposal

 

Part 1

Health Promotion Program Proposal

Heart disease is a big problem for many people. It is the main reason for many deaths in the community, more than 25% (Zhao et al., 2019). This is especially true for younger people and those who face challenges. Something needs to be done about it. One way is to teach everyone how to live healthier lives. Eating good food, staying active, and not smoking are important. Also, ensuring everyone can see a doctor when needed is important. This means having good healthcare for everyone. Communities need to work together, and those with heart problems should be helped. Learning more about why younger people are having heart issues is crucial. By doing these things, the community can be made healthier, and many lives can be saved. Top of Form This needs quick action and a smart plan. The health program focuses on changing the controllable things, like bad eating, not moving enough, and smoking. The aim is to raise awareness among people, do things that help their hearts, and provide resources for early heart problem detection. The goal is to see a real drop in heart disease and boost the community’s cardiovascular health.

Vulnerable Population

Vulnerable individuals aged 40-65 in lower socio-economic brackets need attention for heart health (Arnault et al., 2022). Limited access to affordable, nutritious food in their neighborhoods leads to diets high in processed and unhealthy foods, increasing the risk of heart disease. A health promotion program addresses these challenges by raising awareness and promoting heart-healthy behaviors. The goal is a measurable reduction in heart disease incidence and related complications, enhancing overall cardiovascular health in the community. Focusing on accessible resources, the program seeks to empower this demographic to adopt healthier lifestyles and manage cardiovascular risks effectively. The program acknowledges the importance of a community-wide effort to create lasting improvements in heart health for this vulnerable population. Top of Form Unhealthy eating, less chance for exercise due to no safe places to play, working a lot, and travel issues make this group sit more and get bigger and have high blood pressure. Also, more people smoke in this group because of money problems. Smoking can be changed, and it makes these people more at risk for heart issues. This age group and money situation make them even more likely to have heart problems. Top of Form

Money problems and no health insurance make it hard for this group to get preventive healthcare. They cannot pay for check-ups and early screenings, so they know about heart risks late. This makes it tough to help them in time. Many issues together mean that a smart health plan is needed. Ways must be found to help people with money problems get healthcare. The program wants to reach them by attending the community and doing affordable health screenings. The goal is to find heart issues early, even if money is tight. The impact of heart disease in the community can be lowered. Top of Form

 

Literature Review

Abbate et al.’s review examines efforts to change lifestyles and prevent heart disease. It studies how well things like eating better, exercising, and quitting smoking work (Abbate et al., 2020). The review is strong because it dives into the details, showing that changing what people eat, exercising, and stopping smoking can help with heart problems. However, there are some problems because the studies differ, and not all are very good. Still, the organized way they study things makes the review believable. It gives a good base to say people should use different ways to help in the health program. Top of Form The study adds important ideas backed by evidence, supporting the effort to tackle heart disease in the vulnerable population. Abbate et al.’s findings emphasize the need for various strategies, highlighting the importance of a flexible and complete program to fight heart disease effectively in this community. Top of FormTop of FormTop of Form

Laddu et al.’s study check community programs for heart risks in vulnerable groups (Laddu et al., 2021). It talks about how these programs should work in real life and be easy to get to. It also talks about money and social issues, which fits the required group. However, the study does not use a step-by-step plan, so it might only work for some. Even so, it shows that plans are needed that fit the group’s needs and use what the community has for a long-lasting effect. Top of Form Using ideas from both studies, the health program uses proven strategies. It mixes changing lifestyles with getting the community involved. This full approach tackles the problems of the vulnerable group and makes lasting changes in how they act. By blending Laddu et al. focus on the community with organized ideas from other places, the program wants a complete and strong way to lower heart risks in this group. The goal is to improve the community’s heart health for a long time.

Health Promotion/Disease Prevention Model Selection:

Choosing the Health Belief Model (HBM) wisely guides the health program for heart disease in the vulnerable group. Made in the 1950s by Rosenstock, HBM is a solid theory that looks deep into how people make decisions about their health (Daragmeh et al., 2021). It fits well with the program because it looks at important things like how people see their chances of getting sick, how serious it is, and the good and bad parts of health actions. These are crucial for making the program work. Top of Form In preventing heart disease, the Health Belief Model (HBM) fits well with the goal of understanding and handling the unique beliefs and thoughts of the vulnerable group. By bringing these factors together, the model makes the program work better. It ensures that the actions match the specific ideas and reasons of the group in focus. This makes the health promotion efforts have a bigger effect overall. Top of FormTop of Form

The Health Belief Model (HBM) says that outside things can make people do things to stay healthy. In the health program, big campaigns, easy health check-ups, and special education plans will push people. Using HBM, the program looks at what people think about getting sick and uses outside things to help the focused group change how they act. Top of FormThis model gives a full and flexible plan that understands the many things that affect health choices. It works well to ensure the intervention matches the complicated ways to push for behavior change. The HBM is a helpful guide to reducing how many people in the vulnerable group get heart disease.
