#### **Project 2 health assessment**

#### **Group Health Promotion Presentation**

In today's healthcare environment, collaboration is essential to ensure patient safety and improve outcomes. When healthcare professionals work together, they create a supportive space where diverse perspectives, values, and strengths can be harnessed to achieve shared goals. This assignment invites you to experience that collaboration firsthand—by working with your classmates to promote health literacy and risk reduction for a specific population.

**"Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over and to improve their health."** Health Promotion Glossary, 1998.

Health literacy is not the same as literacy—the ability to read and comprehend information. Health literacy refers to a patient's ability to understand, interpret, and make informed decisions about their health based on medical information.

##### Overview

You'll design a narrated PowerPoint (PPT) presentation that clearly and effectively communicates health information in jargon-free language accessible to the general public (approximately a 6th-grade reading level). This approach ensures patient and family accessibility, empowering them to understand, evaluate, and act on health information. This assignment is worth 25% of your final grade.

To support your work, you'll also explore how AI tools like Copilot can assist with research, drafting, and design. Copilot is a helpful starting point, but it should be used alongside academic and healthcare sources to ensure accuracy and depth.

For additional reference, please review the
[Patient Education PowerPoint](https://mdc.instructure.com/courses/145274/files/57272661?wrap=1) [Download Patient Education PowerPoint](https://mdc.instructure.com/courses/145274/files/57272661/download?download_frd=1).

##### Purpose

This assignment is designed to:

· Strengthening BSN nursing students' communication skills using clear, jargon-free language for public understanding.

· Promote the public's understanding, evaluation, and effective use of health information.

· Raise awareness of healthcare literacy to improve patient outcomes and to promote accessible health resources for providers and patients.

##### Group Project Overview

You will work in a group to create a PowerPoint Presentation (PPT):

· Review the "
[Roles in Group ProjectsLinks to an external site.](https://owis.org/sg/blog/roles-in-group-projects-strategies-for-effective-collaboration/)" to determine which student will be the leader, researcher, writer, presenter, and/or timekeeper.

· The PowerPoint will focus on health literacy, health promotion, and risk reduction for a specific population (e.g., children, adolescents, or older adults).

· It will be narrated and converted to video format (.mp4).

##### Selecting a Topic

· Choose a topic relevant to the course and interesting to your team.

· Use your course textbook and the
[CDC National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP)Links to an external site.](https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/index.htm)

#### **Project Components**

· PowerPoint Presentation Video

· Group Reflection Paper

##### PowerPoint Presentation should:

· No more than 15-20 minutes (18-22 slides)

· Be written in clear, jargon-free language that is accessible to the general public (approximately a 6th-grade reading level)

· Cite your references with the
[APA style guideLinks to an external site.](https://libraryguides.mdc.edu/apa)

· Demonstrate understanding of a specific health promotion strategy

· Address a relevant health concern for your chosen population

The prim
ary endpoint of the proposed study w

ill
be the incidence of at least a superficial infection. IRB

M
ethods and Data Collection

The study w
ill include a random

ized study w
ith

Surgical patients (Picc lines)in a Florida facility.
The study w

ill include 300 patients> 18 years
w

ith surgical (picc) sites and no infections.
Patients w

ill be divided into:
Control group cleansing surgical site w

ith
Povidone-iodine.

· Experim
ental group cleansing surgical site w

ith
C

hlorhexidine-alcohol (independent variable).
R

andom
ization w

ill be done in blocks of 5 to
evenly balance the num

ber of patients in the
tw

o groups.
The study w

ill be conducted from
the

preoperative preparation of patient to over a
period of 60 days post surgical procedure.

Data Analysis
The prim

ary outcom
e of the incidence of at least

a superficial infection w
ill be com

pared betw
een

the tw
o groups.

D
ata results w

ill be obtained from
a surgical site

care flow
sheet on each participant's record.

Experim
ental group's incidence of surgical site

infection w
ill be com

pared to the control group'
s incidence.

It w
ill then be determ

ined if using C
hlorhexidine

plus alcohol to cleanse surgical w
ounds w

ill
result in a statistically significant (t test) m

ethod
of surgical site infection prevention or if using
Povidone-iodine is sufficient to prevent the
occurrence of SSls.

Conclusion
SSls are costly and preventable. Prevention of SSts
is of m

ajor im
portance. Evidence supporting the

use of C
hlorhexidine in alcohol to cleanse surgical

sites was found to be m
ore effective than

Povidone-iodine in the prevention of surgical site
infections per review

of literature.
