Week 4 Discussion

Pros and Cons to Delivering Community-Based Participatory Care to Those Who Are Vulnerable

Initial Post

Performing health assessments as an APRN will help you to develop a collaborative partnership with your patients.  After reading Chapter 4 and 12 in your Pender text, think about the vulnerable population that you choose during Week 1 - consider what you perceive / know about this group in relation to the following topics:

Health assets

Health problems

Health-related lifestyle strengths

Key health-related beliefs

Health behaviors that put the person at risk

Changes that could improve their quality of life

Now consider the pros and cons of implementing a Community-Based Participatory Research health promotion project with the vulnerable group. You should consider not only the benefit of the actions but the active role the vulnerable will play in the development and implementation of the health promotion plan. How does your population’s health disparities and health inequities benefit and/or hinder this type of project’s success? Remember that you should include citations/references from at least three scholarly sources.
