explain how this perspective you selected relates to both Trait Theory and the Skills Approach

  • In the early 20th century, rural areas of China experienced deplorable health conditions. Due to extreme poverty and lack of access to adequate medical care, nearly 80{0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} of China’s population, the percentage living in rural areas, teetered on the verge of death. In an attempt to solve the public health crisis, the Chinese government commissioned doctors, known as “barefoot doctors.” These doctors used specific behaviors that connected to and were understood by residents in the community. With specific behaviors that shaped a style of leadership, these doctors educated rural residents on basic healthcare practices. Although “barefoot,” these doctors projected a wealth of knowledge, leading others to better health and a better way of life (Valentine, 2005).
  • Previous to the 1990s, an individual’s Intelligent Quotient (IQ) remained an unquestioned, central standard of learning. With a high IQ, it may be assumed an individual might be well-versed in knowledge in order to tackle any problem, making effective and efficient decisions. Yet, contemporary research also indicates that good problem-solving and quality decision making did not always stem from one’s IQ, but more importantly one’s Emotional Intelligence (EI). In fact, a variety of studies have shown that “emotional intelligence competencies account for anywhere from 24 to 69 percent of performance success” (Lynn, 2008).

For this paper, select an article depicting a behavioral perspective to public health leadership. Think about particular strengths and limitations of this perspective. Consider how this perspective relates to Trait Theory of leadership.

  • WRITE a brief explanation of the behavioral perspective reflected in the article you selected. Then explain the strengths and limitations of this perspective. Finally, explain how this perspective you selected relates to both Trait Theory and the Skills Approach.

Examine the strengths and weaknesses of your local health care delivery system

Question description

Overview

The discussion board is aligned with the module objective “Develop the implementation of population-focused care through the nursing process, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills.” After completing the assigned reading for module 4, consider the healthcare delivery system in your community.

As part of the discussion you will:

  • Description of the role of the public health nurse in community health
  • Description of the health department’s emergency planning components
  • What health services are not provided that the student believes should be added

Your initial post must be posted before you can view and respond to colleagues, must contain minimum of two (2) references, in addition to examples from your personal experiences to augment the topic. The goal is to make your post interesting and engaging so others will want to read/respond to it. Synthesize and summarize from your resources in order to avoid the use of direct quotes, which can often be dry and boring. No direct quotes are allowed in the discussion board posts.

References:

  • Initial Post: Minimum of two (2) total references: one (1) from required course materials and one (1) from peer-reviewed references.

Explain which WHO Millennium or Healthy People 2020 goal is being addressed

Question description

For this Discussion, you will experience what a real health department is like by viewing the media provided in this module. You will have an “inside” look into the organization of a local health department and gain insight into the responsibilities of the people working in the core areas of public and community health. You will also become familiar with two of the greatest examples of public health in action today, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Healthy People 2020 initiative. You will gain insight into health-related goals that have been developed to address the identified needs of communities on a local and global scale.

Post a video log (Vlog) of yourself presenting a community health intervention example that 1) targets a specific population in a developing country and addresses one of the WHO Millennium goals or 2) targets a specific population in the United States and addresses one of the Healthy People 2020 overarching goals. The intervention you describe could be one you are proposing or a real-life example of a current or recent (past 2 years) intervention.
Your Vlog assignment must include the following:

  1. Begin your video by explaining whether this is a real-life example or one that you made up.
  2. In your video, briefly describe the community health intervention, including the target population.
  3. Explain which WHO Millennium or Healthy People 2020 goal is being addressed.
  4. If using a real situation, specifically identify the types of public health or health education professionals that are involved, and briefly explain their role or, if using a fictional situation, identify at least one type of public health or health education professional that you think would be involved. Explain what you think their role would be, and why.
  5. Identify at least one public health or health education essential service that is being carried out by the identified professionals, and explain how that is being done.
  6. Write up, and post, an exact transcript of your video—including any sources used—in APA format.

the Theory of Reasoned Action

Question description

There are four common theories often used in public health. They are: the Theory of Reasoned Action, the Health Belief Model, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Trans-theoretical Stages of Change. While these are not the only theories used in public health, they are most often utilized in the field. As a future public health leader, it is imperative to have a firm understanding of these four widely used theories so you can understand what motivates and influences people to change their behavior or attitudes related to public health issues.

Select one article for each theory or one article that discusses all of the theories and summarize the information. Focus on how the theory was applied in practice and how this information may help guide you in the development of your public health campaign.

Submit the assignment (45 pages)

  • Select one article on each of the following theories: Theory of Reasoned Action, Health Belief Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, and Trans-theoretical Stages of Change or select one article that discusses all of the theories;
  • Summarize how each theory is applied to practice;
  • Explain two strengths of each theory;
  • Explain at least two limitations of each of the theories;
