Health Promotion Plan Presentation

Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you’re all doing well. My name is —– and I work as a community nurse in San Francisco, California. Thank you for taking the time to join this session. Today, I’ll be presenting a health promotion plan. We’ll have a Q&A session at the end to address any questions, so please hold onto your queries until then. Before we dive into today’s topic, I’d like to get to know you all better. I have introductory questionnaires for you to fill out, which will help me understand your background. The questionnaire includes your name, gender, age, educational qualifications, hobbies, employment status, and personal learning needs related to our discussion topic: tobacco cessation. Once we’ve completed this introductory activity, we can start with our main topic.

Health Promotion Plan – Cessation of Tobacco Products

The focus of my presentation today is on developing a health promotion plan for quitting the use of tobacco products. These products include cigarettes, electronic vaping devices, hookah, and chewable tobacco. Roughly 4.7 million middle and high school children use tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, and about 28.3 million adults in the United States smoke cigarettes. Approximately 1600 American teenagers smoke their first cigarette (CDC, 2023). These statistics highlight the widespread issue of tobacco use in our communities and the significant health implications for our young generation. Heavy use of tobacco products often leads to a dependency on medical care due to health deterioration.

In California, 10.9% of adults aged 18 and older use various tobacco products—6.3% smoke cigarettes, 3.5% use vapes, 1.4% smoke cigars, 1.3% use little cigars and cigarillos, 0.7% use smokeless tobacco products, and 0.5% use hookah (California Department of Public Health, 2023). Smoking is a leading cause of preventable diseases in the state, including lung cancer, COPD, cardiovascular diseases, and various other cancers. The financial toll is high because of the high cost of healthcare, lost productivity, and early mortality brought on by tobacco use.

Therefore, there is a pressing need for tobacco cessation programs to improve the health of our community members and enhance the community’s economy by reducing the extensive costs associated with medical treatments. Some of you might currently use these tobacco products, which is why this health promotion plan is designed to meet your needs and support you in your journey to quit tobacco use.

The Plan Based on Specific, Identified Health Needs and Goals

Given the health consequences and statistics on tobacco use, developing a health promotion plan tailored to participants’ specific health needs and goals is crucial. Evidence-based plans for tobacco cessation interventions are available, and one effective method is the 5A intervention. This method includes five components: Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, and Arrange.

– The “Ask” component involves engaging participants to identify their tobacco use, frequency, and willingness to quit.

– The “Advise” step involves encouraging individuals to quit tobacco use.

– The “Assess” stage evaluates participants’ needs and readiness to quit.

– The “Assist” phase helps them find suitable methods for quitting.

– The “Arrange” step involves monitoring the cessation efforts and their effectiveness during follow-up meetings (Chai et al., 2018).

Other community-based health plans for promoting tobacco cessation include educational campaigns through mass media, increasing tobacco product prices, and school-based programs that identify social factors promoting tobacco use and educate on reducing them. Increasing awareness and knowledge of the negative consequences of tobacco use through community health workers can also bridge gaps between primary healthcare providers and the community, leading to positive outcomes in tobacco cessation (Zulkiply et al., 2020). These strategies are effective in preventing tobacco use and fostering healthier communities.

SMART Goals Setting

We utilized the SMART goal approach to establish objectives with the members of the Joseph Community. The agreed-upon SMART goals with the community members are as follows:

-Goal 1: By the end of this educational session (time-bound), we will identify (attainable) two major reasons (measurable, realistic) that promote tobacco use in teenagers to prevent them from becoming tobacco users in the future (specific). This goal was attained by the end of the session.

– Goal 2: By the end of this session (time-bound), we will identify (attainable) two practical ways (measurable, realistic) to overcome addiction to tobacco products (specific).

-Goal 3: By the end of the session (time-bound), we will develop three (measurable) customized plans (specific) to help ourselves make informed, wise, and healthy decisions (attainable and realistic) to prevent the use of tobacco products.

Evaluation of Educational Session Outcomes & SMART Goals

Once the SMART goals were established and the educational session concluded, the evaluation process began. Participants were given questionnaires to assess their progress on the SMART goals and whether they had achieved them. The results indicated that all of the participants successfully met goal #1, identifying two significant factors that promote tobacco use among teenagers: peer pressure and media influence. Regarding goal #2, most participants were still determining, with only 10% able to identify two strategies to overcome tobacco addiction.

The strategy mentioned included using alternatives like chewing gum and setting self-reminders about the benefits of quitting tobacco. All participants successfully achieved goal #3 and created personalized plans to prevent tobacco use. Some planned to engage in physical activities to feel more active and less stressed. Teenagers specifically mentioned plans to associate with non-smokers and avoid tobacco users to steer clear of tobacco products. Other participants developed individualized plans tailored to their needs and lifestyles.

Future Revisions

Considering that the community participants barely achieved goal #2, future educational sessions need revisions. These revisions will include sessions focused on understanding tobacco addiction, the dangers of tobacco-related diseases, and strategies to reduce tobacco use. Enhanced awareness of these diseases will help maintain consistency in avoiding tobacco products and overcoming addiction (Szymański et al., 2022).

The educational sessions will be held every two months, involving all willing participants in interactive sessions with community health nurses and other community health workers. Additionally, parents of young participants, such as teenagers, will be involved in supporting tobacco cessation efforts and help them understand the challenges of quitting tobacco in any form (Susanto et al., 2020). These changes are expected to enhance the results of quitting smoking in the future.

Evaluation of Outcomes in Terms of Healthy People 2030 Objectives

Healthy People 2030 has outlined various objectives related to reducing tobacco use to foster a healthier community with minimal tobacco consumption. These objectives include boosting the number of individuals who successfully quit smoking, decreasing the usage of smokeless tobacco products by teenagers, and preventing young children and adolescents from starting to smoke cigarettes (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2020). All these objectives serve as target goals.

For instance, goal #1 aligned with Healthy People 2030’s objective of preventing young people from starting to smoke cigarettes. This goal was met by the end of the session, with 50% of community members identifying the reasons behind the initiation of tobacco product use among youth. The second and third goals were also developed in line with Healthy People 2030’s indicators for reducing current tobacco product use and enhancing cessation attempts. Future educational sessions will continue to measure progress towards goals #2 and #3, guided by the objectives of Healthy People 2030 regarding tobacco cessation.

Future Revisions

Future educational sessions can incorporate several revisions to help achieve the Healthy People 2030 goals for tobacco control and cessation. Tobacco control initiatives and programs can be launched at various locations, including schools, colleges, universities, and workplaces. This will involve participation from various authorities, including government and primary healthcare providers, to develop policies that promote quitting tobacco and reducing its use. Through these combined efforts, these authorities can work together to achieve the tobacco-related objectives outlined in Healthy People 2030.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the health promotion plan for tobacco cessation aims to address the widespread issue of tobacco use and its severe health implications by setting SMART goals and implementing evidence-based interventions like the 5A method. Through community involvement, educational campaigns, and tailored support, we strive to reduce tobacco use, enhance health outcomes, and align with the objectives of Healthy People 2030. Future revisions and continuous efforts involving various stakeholders will further strengthen our community’s commitment to a healthier, tobacco-free life.
