Community Teaching Plan Work Plan Proposal on Diabetes Prevention

This project is a comprehensive community teaching plan proposal designed to educate a target aggregate (ages 17-70) on the risks and prevention of type 2 diabetes. The plan includes an epidemiological rationale highlighting the prevalence of diabetes in America, a nursing diagnosis focusing on imbalanced nutrition, and an assessment of the target group's readiness for learning. It utilizes the "Teach-Back Theory" to enhance understanding and retention. The behavioral objectives are detailed, encompassing cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains, with specific strategies for achieving them. The plan aligns with Healthy People 2020 objectives and incorporates interactive methods, such as food group presentations, to promote healthy choices and lifestyle changes. Evaluation methods, including post-session questionnaires and follow-up assessments, are outlined to gauge the plan's effectiveness. The proposal also addresses potential barriers and communication strategies to ensure successful implementation. The provided references support the plan's evidence-based approach.

2COMMUNITY TEACHING PLAN WORK PLAN PROPOSAL
It is to mention that diabetes is considered to be the seventh leading reason behind
deaths in America. As per the data gathered from the CDC National Diabetes Statistics report
of the year 2018, about 30 million of people in America in the year 2015 were suffering from
diabetes and the most surprising thing to know is that about a quarter of them did not even
knew that they have it (Centre for Disease Control, 2018). Among the remaining 80 million
of adults, more than one-third had pre-diabetes and the 90% were not aware of fact that they
are pre-diabetic patients. Again, the report by Center for Disease and Prevention (2014) has
revealed that the proper screening methods for the disease in the patients with high risks were
the ones belonging from the age of 45 years, overweight and belonged to the African-
American, Pacific Islanders, Hispanics and Asian Americans ethnicities. Apart from these,
the other high risk elements were obesity, family history with diabetes and mothers with child
above 9 pounds. Health professionals have claimed that the healthy adults from age range
between 18 to 65 years should aim for 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity
every week and the ones who do more vigorous intensity exercises should aim for 20minutes
exercise every 3 days a week.
Nursing diagnosis:
With every weight gained by an individual, the imbalanced nutrition is all about the
excess intake of food, which is more than what his or her body needs to be healthy. This
makes the body unhealthy.
Readiness for Learning:
The younger adults would be able to express their feeling and emotions regarding the
prevention of the development of Type 2 diabetes as well as the prevalence of obesity.
Several questions shall be asked regarding the risk factors, signs and symptoms, dietary
measures, management plan, misconception about the disease and having them engaged in

the conversation within groups where they would express themselves in verbal and non-
verbal manner on the understanding of the topic. Their present knowledge base, assessment
and screening method shall be discussed.
Learning theory to be utilized:
It is to note that the program would use “Teach-Back Theory” as it helps in narrowing
down the communication gap among the instructor and the patient (Samuels-Kalow et al.,
2016). With the help of this, I would use materials and methods through which I can teach the
individuals in simple language for their better understanding. They would be then asked to
repeat what I have read in the material pamphlet. In this way, I would assess their material
comprehension. I will repeat the same unless and until the patients have gained appropriate
knowledge on the topic.
Goal:
According to HP2020, people are making changes in their lifestyle by means of
incorporating dietary changes and limiting down their calories and fat while incorporating
exercise and decreasing their BMI (Healthy People.gov., 2019).
How Does This HP2020 Objective Relate to Alma Ata’s Health for All Global Initiatives?
The Alma Ata’s global initiatives have recognized that the social determinants of
health present in a country influence the health disparities of the other countries too and it is
very vital for recognizing this issue and eliminating them. The HP2020 D16 brings in the
skill sets for preventing the occurrence of diabetes in people who are at high risk for diabetes
with pre-disposition to the same and hence, reducing the number of individuals with diabetes.

Planned Evaluation of Lesson and Teacher:
I would provide adults with evaluation sheet after the session ends with certain

a) Was the session easy to understand?
b) Rate presentation from 1 to 5 (1 being lowest and 5 being highest)
c) Suggestion for further improvement

b) Nervousness during public speaking
Communication:
I shall be starting my session by introducing myself and the goal of the session to
the individuals. I will offer them snacks to eat and water to drink. Snacks would be both
healthy and unhealthy. By the end of the session, I would ask them why they selected the
very snack and what they know about it. I will ask them what they know about the disease
and its signs and symptoms and would elaborate on what they should actually know about the
same. I will ask about their questions and would clarify the same and lastly, provide them
with questionnaires.
