1 NSU Primary Health Care 1 Home Assignment 1 Due Date: 25 th April 2016 Dear Student, Welcome to Family Health! This assignment is to assist you to learn about health promotion with a family that you would select as a client and increase your practice skills with the family. The experience you gain will help you to understand individuals better, and family connections and how to deal with different situations. The nurse is called upon to promote health of families in illness and wellness. Specialized nursing knowledge and skills are required to deliver family health care. The health of the families is the foundation for the health of the society and the nation. The nurse who takes up for family nursing will act in more healthful ways and develop their skills to be more effective resource persons who can better support families. Medical research has come a long way, and as a result people live longer than they used to. No one can argue that expanding the average person s lifespan is good, many are not enjoying the quality of life that we would hope as they get older. Many of the elderly have chronic conditions that make them frustrated or they get diseases repeatedly. Learning about and practicing preventive health care to maintain your body and good health throughout your entire lifetime, is properly the best method to prevent diseases. When you are sick you have no choice but to think about your health and feel awful and it is very clearly shown in your face. Preventive health care must be planned and executed ahead of time even when illness is absent. People must build healthy habits even when it is not convenient. They must believe that maintaining a healthy life style is important enough to make a few sacrifices. Eating right, getting exercises and avoiding destructive substances like tobacco, alcohol and excessive amounts of sugar, salt are crucial, as is getting enough sleep in the night. HEALTHY HABITS ARE AN AUTOMATIC DEFENCE AGAINST MOST ILLNESSES AND CAN PROVIDE US A LONG HEALTHY AND A HAPPY LIFE. 1

2 Concepts of Family Health and Current Trend in Family Health Nursing The concern and interest of Public Health Nurses is being generated for providing comprehensive Family Health and consider the family as a unit of service. Today there is a shift from the concept of hospital care for the individual to the concept of family as the client. The Public Health Nurse gears her health services to meet the goal of enabling the families to manage their own health problems using their own potentialities and resources. Family Health Nursing serves not only as a means of providing and extending health services to the sick members of the family but acts as a strong force for developing health attitudes of the family members towards the promotion and maintenance of their own health, using the family and community resources. Health teaching is widely recognized as a part of good nursing care. Community health nurse goes beyond teaching personal hygiene, medication and diet. She educates people on promotion of health, prevention of diseases, early detection and go for early treatment/ management. Establishes community groups, women s organizations Industrial worker groups and school children and teachers to improve active wellness programmes. These are areas that has to be strengthened for the benefit of community. Family Health Nursing comprises a broad programme of therapeutic, educational and supportive services, provided to the family by a Public Health Nurse and by the health team within the frame work of the Health Care System as a whole. It is characterized by a partnership between the nurse and family, based upon the sharing of decision and action. It is also characterized by equal concern of wellness, as for illness and for the development and nurturance of family. It is concerned with the quality of life for the entire family as well as the survival of the individual patient. Although these concepts are well accepted today in theory the services fall far too short of their goals. Health care does not always reach the needy and moreover comprehensive health services are not provided at all. Nursing care is available to 2

3 women and children but many others may receive just a little attention or may be totally neglected. Compared to developing countries, Sri Lanka is well recognized for her achievements in family health. But we must realize that there is a lot more for us to achieve. There are three components in the Sri Lankan Family Health Programme; Maternal Health, Infant & Child Health and Family Planning. You may learn all about these programs as you proceed. Nurses' leadership in health care is essential because the health care system and the health of the people are dependent upon the nurse as on no other professional particularly for the advancement of primary health care. The policy planners should utilize the "nursing force" more effectively. Nurses have the resourcefulness, flexibility and critical thinking skills to discover and mobilize rich resources overlooked by others. Nurses working in the community know that every community no matter how disadvantaged has assets. Nurse working in the community is blessed with capabilities and attitudes to handle very difficult situations. Practicum Assignment You are expected to do a practicum assignment which you will enjoy. You will understand what difficulties people undergo to survive. Your ability to help one such family will make you feel very happy and contended. For the first time you will realize that we are still a poor country and people are struggling to live and how you could contribute for it. This assignment is a paper which describes your visits and will require you to work through the first three steps of Nursing process, i.e. 1. Assessment 2. Diagnosis 3. Planning Visit the office of the Divisional Director of Health Services and meet the Divisional Director of Health Services (Medical Offices of Health MOH) and the Public Health Nursing Sisters (PHNS) and explain the purpose of your visit. Here you will get the 3

4 experience of meeting professionals from different service areas and how to carry out a discussion. How to build up a professional yet a friendly environment that can be added to your experience. You will gain experience in team work and see how it brings dividends. This experience of working for the selected family will be remembered by you through out your career. Discuss about the practicum assignment given to you by the Open University of Sri Lanka and the guidance and cooperation you need from them to make it a success.
