My position and how it shaped the intervention strategies

 From the assignment, I gathered information on how to keep a community can change their lifestyle to a more healthy routine. As a result of the challenges associated with the proper management of community health, effective interventions and health practices will come a long way in mitigating and managing the associated effects. In the present age, hospitals no longer shoulder sole responsibility of maintaining health and creating interventions for the community. Thus, the shift from hospital to community gave room to community health providers, government and personal measures who guide protect rather than render treatment.

 What I learnt about obesity

 From my own point of view, community nurses are responsible for initiating interventions based on risk factors such as obesity and even unhealthy food intake. The first step is raising awareness of obesity risks and other cardiovascular, which will, in turn, increase knowledge among community members. More information means that people will be able to prevent, manage, and rehabilitate themselves even without the help of caregivers. Informational outreach or campaigns make use articles, social and traditional media. Campaigns go hand in hand with educating people about cardiovascular diseases. Besides, Personal education assists eradicate risky health behaviors consequently reducing obesity risk factors within a community.

 Apparent things I learnt

 I learnt that creating an environment that supports the application of health interventions. Putting up cardiac laboratories within reach of community members will provide regular services to people suffering from obesity diseases. More so, I can testify that nurses can establish a constant connection with a member of the community to assess any progress and any emerging issues. For example, physiological evaluations of body weight can inform nurses of the next intervention and best diagnostic methodology.

 I would say that the government needs to improve health policies so that it can prioritize and subsidize obesity related services among community members. At a personal level, each person takes initiative and change their lifestyles based on medical guidelines provided by health workers. In the end, everyone gets a chance to increase their will power against obesity disorder and purposely live a healthy lifestyle away from the heavy nutrients foods.

 Factors that surprised me

 I share the view that health workers can set up workshops for educating communities on the best possible ways of handling heart attacks at home. The workshop is a simple way of establishing a constant presence in the community. More so, emphasizing patients with critical heart attack and stroke issues will assist nurses to assess and develop preventive measures from worsening.

 Challenges encountered

Obesity seems like an avoidable tragedy to the naked eye but digging deeper into the chronic illness reveal more than lifestyle behaviors and a sedentary lifestyle. Most food flooding the market has harmful ingredients, to the ignorance of consumers.

            In summary obesity and its associated risks are predictable. Therefore, healthcare practitioners have a responsibility of coming up with a holistic and effective approach to dealing with the health-related challenges both at home and in hospitals. Campaigning and educating helps people manage their health status and change lifestyle for the better.
