NURS 5330 Population Health Nursing
Population-based health and multi-sectoral systems influencing global health are explored. Students build upon clinical reasoning skills from an individual level of care to a global context of care. Focus is on risk reduction, protective and predictive factors, and the systems influencing the health of individuals, families, and communities. Multiple determinants of health and basic data patterns are applied to assess the health and illness beliefs, assets, and barriers to health and to explore historical, social, political, and economic forces impacting the health of communities. Community theories, models, and frameworks are explored to guide a community health improvement project. Community engagement and collaboration, health coaching and behavior change, and chronic disease management are used to create a community health improvement plan. Quality indicators and sustainable health outcomes are explored to address local, state, and global health issues impacting communities.
