Health Education Teaching Activity Final Revised Blank Due Date

Health Education Teaching Activity Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to help you understand the process of health teaching of patients/clients by engaging in effective assessment; identification of learning needs/issues associated with the learning experience; planning and implementing interventions and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions with a target client (using a family member or friend). Using course content sources at minimum, you will be able to:

1. Construct a health teaching/lesson plan for a single client, based on the following:

  • a thorough assessment of a client’s learning needs and barriers/facilitators of their learning,
  • appropriate selection of relevant and effective teaching/learning strategies, and
  • application of concepts using a common health promotion model and/or learning theory.

2. Document this activity in a formal written paper.

Paper For Above Instructions

The Client:

The client is a 30-year-old female (initials: M.S.) with a moderate health literacy level. She has a health risk factor of obesity, which contributes to her current medical condition: asthma. M.S. speaks English as her primary language, and she understands only basic health information. Red flags indicate that she struggles with complex health-related instructions, and her primary health history includes a diagnosis of asthma and seasonal allergies, which may exacerbate her condition.

Analysis of Learning Needs:

The focus of this teaching plan is asthma management. Barriers to learning include M.S.'s low health literacy and anxiety surrounding her condition, which may affect her ability to absorb information. Her learning style is primarily visual, as she benefits from diagrams and charts, suggesting that practical demonstrations and visual materials will enhance her understanding. M.S.'s willingness to learn is evident as she expresses desire to manage her condition better.

Teaching/Lesson Plan:

This plan incorporates M.S.’s learning preferences and aims at increasing her understanding of asthma triggers, management strategies, and self-administering medication. Two learning objectives will be established: (1) M.S. will be able to identify at least three triggers of her asthma by the end of the session, and (2) she will demonstrate proper use of her inhaler during the teaching session.

Application of a Behavior Model/Theory:

The Health Belief Model will frame my teaching approach. This model suggests that a person's belief in the severity of their condition, the perceived benefits of taking action, and the barriers they face will influence their health behaviors (J Pharm Prac, 2015). By discussing the risks associated with untreated asthma alongside actionable self-management strategies, I can enhance M.S.'s motivation to engage actively in her health care process. This model allows for tailoring the session to address her specific concerns, thereby increasing her likelihood of adopting recommended behaviors.

In the context of education, reinforcing the positive outcomes of effectively managing her asthma will be critical. Providing clear, actionable strategies that she can incorporate into her daily routine will not only boost her confidence in managing her health but will also illustrate the importance of proactive health behaviors.

Evaluation:

The learning objectives set will be assessed through both observation and open discussion. After the session, M.S. will evaluate her understanding of asthma triggers and her ability to use the inhaler correctly, thereby informing me of the effectiveness of the teaching strategies employed. If she struggles to meet these objectives, future revisions will involve simplifying the information presented and integrating more hands-on practice.
