DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAM 2
Introduction:
The topic of being overweight and fat has significantly accumulated over the last 3
decades. Universally, a calculable area unit of one hundred and seventy million youngsters (aged
under eighteen years) can actually be measured as being overweight (Witten, 2016). Countries
that have a higher range of middle income are observed to have the highest rate of childhood
obese rate and, if taken as a gaggle, countries with lower level income rate have a rock-bottom
prevalence rate. In most countries, however, overweight is increasing, with prevalence rates
growing highest for countries with a range of lower or middle range of income. With the higher
rate of being overweight and obese, it has been observed that serious consequences for the health
has occurred. A hike in the body mass index (BMI) are seen to pose huge risks to diseases such
as sorting out a pair of polygenic diseases, and many carcinomas such as large oesophageal
cancer, excretory organ cancer, and esophageal cancer. Such disorders are usually referred to as
non-contagious diseases (NCDs). They are observed to possess semi-permanent morbidity in
tandem. Furthermore, overweight and obese in children area unit contributed to gradual fall in
the quality of life and increased risk of harassment, social isolation and bullying. Due to the
sudden hike in fat prevalence and various serious public health implications, obesity is often
considered as one of the most serious public health problems of the first twenty first century.
This document aims to produce different states with a summary of the types of interventions
related to the prevention of obesity amongst chidren, that will be carried out on the national,
native and sub-national levels (Sahoo et al, 2015). Subsequently, these square measures listed the
varieties of approaches that will be taken by Member States and the concerns of square type
measure.Health Promotion Program for Childhood Obesity Diagnosis:

Integrated Strategy:
Complicated and varied the determinants of the blubber area unit and it is necessary to
determine that none of the single intervention will help in the prevention of the production of
childhood blubber. Actions to avert childhood blubber must be forced to take place in multiple
settings and include a wide range of various differing strategies. Childhood blubber hindrance
efforts have to be compelled to be tightly adjoined with alternative efforts to regulate all major
NCD risk factors (including tobacco use, alcohol intake, unhealthy diet and low physical
activity). This includes participation amongst all the levels of society, from societies to states,
personal organisations, and NGOs. Non-transmissible risk factors for sickness region unit
incorporated within the structure of the community and affected by several national policy areas.
For a number of low-and middle-income countries, blubber hindrance actions–and usually
additional NCD hindrance–must be compelled to be combined with associated food safety and
undernutrition issues. Finally, childhood blubber hindrance strategies must be encouraged to be a
part of existing plans and services aimed at improving diets and physical activity. Furthermore,
approaches using different environments will aim to incorporate. As an example, faculties are
ready to incorporate the modifications in the behaviour education into their existing programme,
amongst the several cases.
Support of the Policy by the government:
Interventions in obesity bars are observed to be supported by the existing policies at the
lower levels of regional, government–national and indigenous groups. The policies present at the
national level will produce environmentally validating; regional policies that will promote
resource pooling; and the native intervention trade will lead to simpler, targeted interventions.
International (intergovernmental) blubber bar support will facilitate the handling of

environmental factors at the international level, such as offering healthier food. Those formulated
as part of the World Health Organization Forum and Technical Meeting on Population-based Bar
Methods for Childhood Blubber were endorsed by the subsequent principles that help in guiding
the event of a population-based childhood blubber bar strategy accoerdingly.
Support from the Environment:
Typically labeled as "upstream," "midstream," or "downstream," these square dimensions
assisted the intervention points and the targeted areas. With respect to population-based blubber
interruption in the childhood, most square treatments measure "upstream" and "midstream"
without doubt. The "upstream" or socio-ecological approach to blubber intervention is intended
to shape the conditions and circumstances that square assess the fundamental determinants of
health and social justice in society. Activities aim to indulge in the physical
activity, environments food environments and also wider socio-economic environments (Ohri-
Vachaspati et al, 2015) which includes education, taxation, housing and welfare, employment
thereby ultimately, affecting the population behaviors indirectly. Targeted sectors encompass all
aspects of the food system (such as food processing, agriculture, marketing, food distribution,
retail and food service sectors) and sectors influencing the setting of physical activity (such as
education, transport and infrastructure). "Midstream" or behavioral approaches to blubber
intrusion focus on trying to boost patterns of behavior in the population's diet and physical
activity. Midstream solutions should typically be aimed at environments wherever services,
social networking, education, and various campaigns can be implemented to enable people to
change patterns of diet and physical activity. Child care centers, schools, community and
recreation facilities, households, or non-secular settings that represent these settings.

Downstream' approaches square measure, usually aimed at promoting health services and
medical (clinical) treatments with reference to the childhood lard interference. This square
measurements are usually primarily individual, rather than based on the population.
Strategies for Population based childhood obesity prevention:
Leadership, the NCD monitoring systems and the capacity of the workforce are
considered as one of the structural aspects of the system. This further requires being in situ,
which in turn help and support promoting the initiatives of the policies and also helps in
enhancing the incorporations of the direct policy initiatives amongst most of the community-
based interventions. Policies based on the wide population and initiatives regarding them, such
as promoting restrictions for young people on unhealthy foods and soft drinks, nutrition labeling,
physical activity policies, food taxes and subsidies and campaigns for social promotion. These
are usually designed to change the environments of physical activity and food, so that the simpler
selections for people within the population can be made healthier. Community-based programs
are dual-component strategies and services that are commonly implemented across multiple
settings, adapted to the native environment, and domestically enforced.

It is necessary that a regular childhood (Glavin et al, 2014) fatness bar strategy based on the
children based population helps in incorporating among the aspects of every of those 3 key
elements. While doing this, recognition of each and every of the elements, and also the specific
aspects among them, are found out to be extremely inter-related. For instance, indication of the
observation systems, are most required and are found to be very important to provide support to
the incorporation of a policy that helps in the speculation in sport ways. It also successively
enhances the efforts of the interventions based on community, in order to encourage sport in
native settings. Moreover, the actions found in one part of the program as an example we can
consider the actions conducted at the community-level to limit the selling of non-alcoholic
beverages and foods that are unhealthy to the children. This help in facilitating the idea of raising
political support to lift the policy changes at alternative levels such as the national policies to
limit the selling of unhealthy foods and non-alcoholic beverages. The choice of specific choices
among every part should be usually told with respect to the proof of their effectiveness without

the presence of any doubt and the property of cost-effectiveness. Considerably, although, neither
of all those elements are found appropriate for cost-efficient analysis and, additionally structures
among governments that help in supporting the policies and the interventions need to be
considered as investments that are necessary. The infrastructures that are core in nature, for
fatness bar and not be subjected to value the effectiveness and further help in the analysis. As for
instance, it's not pronto potential to see the structures for the cost-effectiveness and observe the
population diets as well the weight standing. In distinction, it's going to be difficult as well to
gauge the cost-effectiveness of the many of the other interventions within the alternative
elements.
Role of the Community Health Nurse in the Health Promotion Program:
The theories that are incorporated for the promotion in health are the kind of sensible
actions that nurses are taking to push the health of patients, communities and families through.
The analysis states that the nurses either need to be working on a patient-oriented theoretical
basis or have a holistic approach, or are taking a chronic disease approach and or is taking an
approach with the involvement of medical sciences. The theoretical principles that were
considered to embody the most ideas of orientation for health promotion and orientation towards
public health. While the nurses practices the health promotion activities, which were directed by
individual perspective. The nurses were observed and they were seen to demonstrate a holistic
approach in their interpretation of health promotion. The nurses were focused on tasks such as
helping the families to make health choices, helping the individuals on a personal level as well or
supporting people in their involvement with the promotion of health activities. The second most
common formation of health promotion orientation program helped in the construction and had
the authorization, which was correlated with cooperation between individuals, teams, and

DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAM 8
communities. This focus in nurse–patient contact and family, cluster, and community
involvement was delineated in these studies. The nurses have enforced different styles of
promotional activity in the health related part and had actively applied an entirely varied health
promotion experience across a wide range of nursing contexts, counting on the context nurses are
ready to build on a range of health promotion styles of experience. Nurses may be classified into:
general promoters of health, patient-focused promoters of health and promoters (McInnes,
Peters, Bonney & Halcomb, 2015) of health project management. Additionally, nurses provide
the patients with the information that they need to manage, and ultimately incorporate them to
help and improve their health, through health promotion practices. The nurses work in such as an
environment that makes it much lenient for them to exploit a routine interaction with the patient
and use it as a chance to impart education. Equipping patients with accurate level of information
while also championing a healthy lifestyle will help them gain access to the better control of their
wellbeing. It can also have a major impact on health-care costs. With an industry-wide emphasis
on cost savings and workforce shortages in healthcare facilities, effective health promotion will
reduce the frequency an individual needs to seek treatment at. Health promotion focuses on
addressing health issues in a holistic way such as childhood obesity, discussed in this paper. In
contrast to lecturing individuals on habits which affect their health negatively. Often people may
be aware of health practices that they should practice (exercising) or stop (smoking). Health
promotion, however, is more about ensuring access to resources required to improve healthy
behaviour (Bonde, Bentsen & Hindhede, 2014). On a much higher level, nurses could also
promote social changes to reduce resource scarcity that could inhibit health promotion. There are
a number of conceptual models that attempt to organize the main elements that affect health. The
models are listed as:

DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNITY HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAM 9
 Behavioral: Lifestyle choices that affect health, whether helpful, such as an exercise
regimen or detrimental, such as a smoking habit
 Behavioral: Lifestyle choices that affect health, whether they are positive, such as an
exercise regimen or detrimental, such as smoking
 Physical environment: Anything that may affect health in a patient's environment,
including water and air quality
 Health systems: The ability of a patient to access health care systems, both because of the
willingness of the individual to do so and because of his or her ability to pay for and
access appropriate care
Patient preventive care centers, which are considered as the main area of focus for clinical
education for nurses. The daily interactions that nurses have with patients are opportunities to
educate the patients and aid in monitoring certain particular risk factors for the development.
Maximum of the major challenges that the nurses face are mental challenges, literacy, language,
physical limitations, and/or beliefs about the religions, specifically when it comes to providing
preventive care. For starters, the CDC estimates that racial and ethnic minorities report higher
levels of chronic illness, including cancer, obesity, diabetes and AIDS. Nonetheless, approaching
patient education with varied methods that take into account cultural differences can help combat
these barriers. Understanding and adapting the patient education approach is critical not only for
nurses but also for all healthcare professionals.
Conclusion:
There are a wide variety of actions at the population level that governments will want to
forestall blubber for the childhood. These include government-wide structures to support
interventions and policies; a wide variety of initiatives and the policies related with respect to

the population. The policies that aid in influencing the environment on the basis of food, settings
of physical activity, and campaigns for social promotion; and interventions based on the
community that have numerous sides and are tailored made for the native environment with the
most involvement of people in the area. All the elements are ought to be adapted in proper
amount to the cultural context and include members of the community–each within the scope of
the formative evaluation, style and implementation–to be successful. As we observed, there is
sufficient amount of information in various cases that help us in providing interventions. These
interventions are found out to be successful; however, there has also been recorded insufficiency
and ineffectiveness of certain measures, which are due to certain substantial research. The trials
that are conducted are found to be conducted for a very shorter period to find acceptable results
have been accepted as a result of evidence, or simply for a range of reasons that they do not
perform. Significantly, very less has been considered with regard to the effectiveness of
interventions in low-and middle-income countries and, in addition, with regard to the property of
interventions over time, the inadvertent impact of interventions is accessible.
