Interview a nurse leader (chief nurse, associate chief nurse, director, supervisor, manager), a masters-prepared nurse with leadership responsibilities (nurse educator, nurse quality specialist, nurse risk manager, nurse case manager, etc.), or advanced practice nurse with leadership responsibilities (clinical nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist, nurse midwife, or nurse practitioner). Analyze the leaders role as it relates to a minimum of five of the major course concepts addressed (ethics in leadership, emotional intelligence, communication, conflict resolution, change theory, cultural competence/diversity, labor relations management, leadership models, management theory, motivational theory, Nurse of the Future competencies, interprofessional collaboration, and team building). Provide a narrative summary of your interviewees responses to each of the concepts of the interview. This should not be a verbatim account. Incorporate references to provide support and analyze the concepts you discussed. Include your impression of congruence between the leaders self-reflection and your personal observations of demonstrated leadership. Include the following in your paper: Comprehension: Introduce the leader, his or her credentials, title, job responsibilities, placement on the organizational chart/reporting responsibilities, education, experience, mentors, and pathway to his or he current role. Application: Describe the predominate model/theory of leadership used by this leader. Describe his or her style of leadership. Analysis/Synthesis: Clarify and illustrate the leaders level of authority and influence within the organization. Discuss this leader’s sense of empowerment and efforts to empower others. Describe his or her intra- and extra-organizational responsibilities. Compare your personal philosophy/style/model of leadership with this leader and share whether expectations/perceptions of this leader were accurate. Evaluation: Summarize the leaders behavior, strengths, successes, challenges, and weaknesses. Your paper should be 910 pages long, not including the cover page or references list, and should use 1012 scholarly references. Tips and Hints Reminders: avoid using personal pronouns and use initials or first name only of your interviewee. You are not writing a documentary or a play for the nurse leader interview paper. You should review the information you will have learned in this course and essentially tell the leader’s story. For example: S. J. wanted to be a nurse since she was young. She earned her nursing diploma immediately after high school and worked for three years on a medical/surgical unit at the local hospital. (And so on.)

Health Promotion Research
Conduct the windshield survey worksheets and research for the health promotion research assessment. Collapse All Introduction This first assessment is the research and background information for the presentation you will give in your last assessment. Consider this the nursing process for your chosen community (assessment, diagnostics, planning, interventions, and evaluation). The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to plan a learning experience focused on health promotion associated with the specific community health concern you selected from the provided document. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why that establish the foundation for an effective clinical learning experience for the participants. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group participation. The two windshield survey worksheets will be critical steps in completing this assessment. This assessment is the foundation for the implementation of Assessment 4, Health Promotion Plan Presentation. Note: Assessment 1 must be completed first before you are able to submit Assessment 4. Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. Preparation Be sure you’ve completed the Windshield Survey Worksheet 1: Assess Your Community and Windshield Survey Worksheet 2: Tour Your Community activities. Then complete this assessment as if within a neighborhood or community of your choice. Your community, which will become the focus of your health promotion plan, could be something like the elderly housing center, high school, or your own neighborhood. It could even be a subset of or an individual within that community, for instance, one of the students at the high school or a resident at the elderly housing center. Instructions Complete the following: Assess your chosen community to include socioeconomic and demographic data such as location, lifestyle, age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, employment. (Complete the windshield surveys first.) Choose a specific health concern or health need from the Assessment 1 Supplement: Health Promotion Research [PDF] as the focus of your health promotion plan for your chosen community. Then, analyze a population within your community with the health concern or need you’ve chosen to focus on and the best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence. Consider underlying assumptions and points of uncertainty in your analysis. Describe in detail the characteristics of your chosen community who will be the audience for the activity you are planning and how those characteristics are relevant to what you’ve learned about the targeted population. Describe in detail the relevant information of who within this community is affected by your chosen health issue. Explain why the population you are focusing on in your community is predisposed to this health concern or health need and why they can benefit from a health promotion educational plan. Consider the factors that contribute to health, health disparities, and access to services. Support your conclusions with relevant population health and demographic data. Based on the health concern for your individual or group, discuss what you would include in the development of a sociogram. Take into consideration possible social, economic, cultural, genetic, and/or lifestyle behaviors that may have an impact on health as you develop your educational plan in this assessment. You will take this information into consideration when you present your educational plan in Assessment 4. Identify your chosen individual’s or group’s potential learning needs. Imagine the input of your audience if you were collaborating with the individual or group to establish the SMART goals that would be used to evaluate the education session (Assessment 4). Identify the individual or group’s current behaviors, outline clear expectations for this educational session, and offer suggestions for how the individual or group needs can be met. Health promotion goals need to be clear, measurable, and appropriate for this activity and audience. Consider goals that will foster behavior changes and lead to the desired outcomes. Be sure to apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format. Write with a specific purpose and audience in mind. Adhere to scholarly and disciplinary writing standards and APA formatting requirements. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion in the scoring guide to see how your work will be assessed. Additional Requirements Your assessment should also meet the following requirements: Document format and length: Your health promotion plan should be 46 pages in length. Supporting evidence: Support your health promotion plan with peer-reviewed articles, course study resources, and Healthy People 2030 resources. Cite at least three credible sources published within the past 5 years using APA format. Before submitting your assessment for grading, proofread it to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it difficult for them to focus on the substance of your plan. Competencies Measured By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria: Competency 1: Analyze health risks and healthcare needs among distinct populations. Analyze a population within a chosen community with a health concern or need that is the focus of a health promotion plan. Describe in detail the characteristics of a chosen community who will be the audience for a health promotion and how those characteristics are relevant to a larger target community. Competency 2: Propose health promotion strategies to improve the health of populations. Explain why a health concern or need is important for health promotion within a community and population, supporting conclusions with relevant population health and demographic data. Establish health goals appropriate for a chosen individual or group of participants that are realistic, measurable, and attainable. Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead health promotion and improve population health. Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions; contains few errors in grammar/punctuation, word choice, and spelling.

NURS 6030 Population Health Human diversity and Social Issue…
Module 3 Written Assignment: Paper on Population Health Concern
Continuing to build on the work you have done in module 2, write a 46-page paper (not including references) that identifies and analyzes a specific local population health concern which you select. The substantiation of the health concern should draw on data that is specific to your community (where you live or work). The community, for purposes of epidemiologic data, is often defined as a county (the exception being larger cities). This paper will become the basis for the next two written assignments in the course which will explore relevant strategies and advocacy to address the identified concern (modules 5 and 8).
For this assignment, please address the following and use sections here as headings:
Introduction: Clearly state the population health concern you will focus on. Do you identify this concern as a health factor (determinant), or outcome, or both. Please explain. (1 para)
Significance of Concern:
Please introduce/summarize the impact this concern has on well-being and/or on development or exacerbation of other health conditions. [For this paper, please do not expand on the pathophysiology of the condition except where the explanation is necessary to explain relationship with other factors.]
Epidemiology and Equity:
Drawing from at least 3 sources, please describe the epidemiology of this concern on the local/county level, state, and national level. What are the rates or prevalence of the concern? How is the concern distributed (e.g., geographically and across different population groups)? Are there issues of equity in the distribution and/or impact of this concern? Please explain.
Health Determinants and Equity:
Drawing from at least 2 sources, please explore and analyze the inter-relationship of your identified population health concern with structural determinants of health (e.g. policy, health care systems, social and economic structures, environment). How do these factors relate to the demographic, social and economic realities of the local community?
Drawing from at least 2 sources, please explore and analyze the inter-relationship of your identified population health concern with behavioral determinants of health (and note any interplay with structural determinant of health).
Conclusion:
Provide a brief closing summation of the main points of your paper. Please include a statement on why nurses and other health-professionals should be concerned with the particular health concern facing your community.
Follow the written assignment and all APA guidelines in preparing this paper.
- Title page : Page numbers in proper APA format. No need for Running Head for student papers unless requested by instructor.
- Body: All content should be double-spaced. In-text citations should be cited according to APA guidelines. Please use the sections in directions above as section headings.

Assignment #3
Attached is my PIP and the instruction sheet from my professor.
Section 1 of Assignment 3: Create an outline for your PIP Literature Review (5 points)
- Create an outline of the literature review section of chapter 2 of your PIP. It should include the key topics and subtopics, independent and dependent variables and the population. Think general to specific.
- Refer to pp. 1-3 of the Week 3 Literature Reviews+Theory in Research Info Sheet.pdf, but be more specific about what you will look for in the literature.
- What online library, databases, key terms, inclusion and exclusion criteria will you use for your literature search? Describe your PIPs target population(s). Identify and describe your PIPs independent and dependent variables.
- At the bottom of your outline write a paragraph or two on how you might incorporate theory into your PIP where would it fit? What type of theory would be appropriate. Are there any specific nursing theories or learning theories you are thinking of? How will they help you design your project?
- e. Below your narrative paragraphs, complete a literature matrix for at least five of your PIP manuscript references:
- Author, Year of Publication, Title
- Purpose/Description/Methods
- Results/Conclusions
- Alvarez et al. (2020). Childrens and parents views on hospital contact isolation: A qualitative study to highlight childrens perspectives.
- Semi-structured, open-ended interviews with eight hospitalized children were used to assess their experiences of being placed in isolation. Where possible, the childrens parents also completed written surveys to assess parental perspectives on their childs experiences.
- Examination of the parentchild dyads elucidated some discordance between parents and childrens perspectives on how children experienced their isolation, on what the childrens preferred activities were while in isolation, and how much children understood about the reasons they were in isolation. This study supports earlier studies that suggest that the benefits of isolation procedures may be outweighed by how negatively isolation is experienced by patients, particularly when the patients are children. It also highlights the need for child-friendly isolation signs.
- First, create a blank matrix using table-making software such as Microsoft Excel, Word or OneNote, Google Sheets, or Numbers
