This individual written assignment aims to consolidate the student’s learning by linking theory to clinical practice in the community. The community assessment experience provides students with real life physical and cognitive experiences, assesses community needs and identifies key health issues.
Using the findings from your group’s community assessment done, develop strategies, integrating a health promotion model/ theory, to address health/psychosocial issues from a case study in below.

a. Identify and critically analyse at least 3 key health or psychosocial behaviour/issues affecting the client and/caregiver. Provide evidence from literature to support analysis.

b. Develop a home care self-management plan for 3 issues that were discussed in above by applying a health promotion model (e.g. HBM, TTM, or CCM). The plan should have specific goals/measurable outcomes and interventions to empower the client/caregivers to self-manage in the home/community. Provide evidences to support your proposed interventions. If your case-study has a patient being discharged from the hospital to home, you can also discuss the anticipated needs in the home that the patient has such as, equipment, services, and referrals.

c. In the plan, apply how existing community resources can be integrated into the management of care to deliver effective person-centered care in the community. The community area your group chose for the community assessment project will be considered as the community for the case-study.
