NR443 Community Health Nursing
Home Health Nursing
Home health nursing connotes offering specialized care services to different categories of people in their homes in an effort to facilitate prompt recovery. For instance, this group of nursing professionals renders services to elderly members of the society living in nursing homes, patients suffering from chronic illness who live in home environment where constant care is required and mentally unstable individuals (Nies & McEwen, 2019). In Cypress, home health nursing forms an integral part of societal health system with need for skilled nursing services constantly on the rise as affected population of vulnerable members of the society increases. Consequently, Home health nurses provide essential care services to people in a convenient way since this group of care specialist make services easily accessible to people through visiting homes promptly whenever required (Lundy & Janes, 2009). Therefore, this essay considers the role of home health nurses in shaping public health discourse in Cypress through different intervention initiatives which are beneficial to the general public.
Community Setting
Home health nurses in Cypress perform their duties in a way which set them apart from other traditional nursing professionals. This is done through visiting patients at their places of dwelling like homes and nursing facilities to offer nursing services whenever needed (Nies & McEwen, 2019). An example of a home health nursing organization which offers services in Cypress is GFK Home Health Care which is an agency and service provider offering specialized services to people (GFK, 2015). Home health nurses are important in Cypress because some patients prefer visitation from professional nurses to ensure customized healthcare services (Friedman et al., 2014). In particular, programs under this role include assessment of population health through constant visitation to patients in their homes.
Notably, the category of patients who use services of home health nurses in Cypress include elderly people and individuals suffering from chronic illnesses who need personalized care services (Lundy & Janes, 2009). Additionally, home health nurses also address issues of public health in community at Cypress by offering essential services to mentally unstable people and those in nursing homes across Harris County. Home health nursing is crucial towards ensuring that people receive specialized and affordable care services within home vicinity without being confined in a hospital setting (Nies & McEwen, 2019). To ensure that the public receives nursing services, home health nursing makes it affordable to people living in Cypress to access essential services.
Examples of care services rendered by home health nurses in Cypress include continually organizing workshops and public health clinics through which civilians get educated on role of nursing and good care in ensuring healthy living (Lundy & Janes, 2009). Additionally, home health nurses also undertake specialized care for wounded patients, nursing services to mentally unstable individuals and to continually assess health conditions of patients who suffer from chronic illnesses in Cypress. The primary aim of home health nurses programs in Cypress is to promote public health through offering freedom to patients to receive follow up services in their homes subsequent to discharge by hospitals (Friedman et al., 2014). Therefore, services offered by home health nurses in Cypress are essential in shaping public health discourse on role of nurses in care access and delivery in Harris County.
Health Promotion Nursing Intervention
To address public health issues affecting citizens in Cypress, home health nurses are under a duty to adopt measures which further interests of the target population. Specifically, this category of nurses considers workable intervention which may be useful towards addressing problems of its target population in Cypress (Friedman et al., 2014). For instance, health promotion intervention mechanisms which home health nurses in Cypress could consider include acting as agents of change in facilitating reforms in healthcare. This intervention is important since it allows home health nurses to effectively assess needs of the target population who require specialized care services and to develop strategies towards addressing such challenges.
In article by Friedman et al (2014), the authors evaluate effectiveness of special interventions adopted by home health nurses while highlighting that care-as-usual model is currently outdated (Friedman et al., 2014). Under this, the authors highlight centrality of need for home health nurses to act as agents of change in promoting interest of its target group in the society thereby justifying the intervention mechanism in this paper. Therefore, this article emphasizes need for nursing professionals to develop more effective intervention measures such as partnerships, assessment of needs and acting as an agent of change.
The adoption of partnerships with other agencies which take care of vulnerable members of the society in tackling health issues in Cypress will be paramount for success of home health nursing. Notably, partnership for home health nurses will include collaboration with institutions such as nursing homes which offer help to patients who are mentally ill and the elderly in Cypress (Nies & McEwen, 2019). Additionally, partnership with local public health officers from relevant department of the government will also enable home health nursing professionals to discharge their role in an effective manner.
Professional Nursing Organization
The American Nurses Association (ANA) is an umbrella body for registered nurses under LPN, APRNs and RN across the US. Specifically, ANA offers an avenue for professional nurses to interact and share ideas which may stimulate both professional and personal growth (American Nurses Association, n.d.). At the present moment, ANA is focused towards supporting education and further training of home health nursing professionals with the objective of enhancing access to healthcare and delivery of services which has hindered operations of home health nurses for a long time.
This objective is attained through training home health nurses to obtain more specialized skills which impact health of patients through more effective service delivery. Additionally, through its training and education support under professional development initiative, ANA plays a major role in reducing costs of healthcare since vulnerable members of the society can obtain high quality health services (American Nurses Association, n.d.). Therefore, ANA helps in alignment of delivery, access and cost of healthcare within Cypress through offering essential support to home health nurses who visit patients in various parts of Harris County.
Summary
Home health nurses play an essential role in upholding community health in Cypress. This objective is attained through tackling public health problems which hinder healthcare delivery to vulnerable members of the society such as mentally unstable patients, elderly people in nursing homes and people suffering from chronic illness. Additionally, home health nurses serve as promoters of public health by facilitating discourse on issues affecting its target population in Cypress through adoption of intervention measures like becoming crucial agents of change. On another end, the American Nurses Association serves to facilitate interest of professional nurses to ensure professionalism and integrity among home health nurses in Cypress. This objective is achieved through offering an avenue for professional interaction by which home health nurses receive further training and education to equip them with more skills for efficient service delivery. Therefore, home health nurses play a vital role in uphold public health through offering care and visitation services to people in homes within Cypress hence promoting community health.
