Vulnerability of Cervical Cancer
Directions
- Describe the health problem. Using data and statistics support your claim that the issue you selected is a problem. What specifically will you address in your proposed health promotion program? Be sure your proposed outcome is realistic and measurable.
- Describe the vulnerable population for cancer and setting. What are the risk factors that make this a vulnerable population? Use evidence to support the risk factors you have identified.
- Provide a review of literature from scholarly journals of evidence-based interventions that address the problem. After completing a library search related to effective interventions for your chosen health promotion activity, you will write a review that evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of all the sources you have found. You might consult research texts for information on how to write a review of the literature found in your search.
- Select an appropriate health promotion/disease prevention theoretical framework or conceptual model that would best serve as the framework guiding the proposal. Provide rationale for your selection which includes discussion of the concepts of the selected model
For this assignment add criteria 5-8 as detailed below:
- Propose a health promotion program using an evidence-based intervention found in your literature search to address the problem in the selected population/setting. Include a thorough discussion of the specifics of this intervention which include resources necessary, those involved, and feasibility for a nurse in an advanced role. Be certain to include a timeline. (2 to 4 paragraph. You may use bullets if appropriate).
- Thoroughly describe the intended outcomes. Describe the outcomes in detail concurrent with the SMART goal approach. (1 paragraph).
- Provide a detailed plan for evaluation for each outcome. (1 paragraph).
- Thoroughly describe possible barriers/challenges to implementing the proposed project as well as strategies to address these barriers/challenges. (1 paragraph).
- Conclude the paper with a Conclusion paragraph. Don’t type the word “Conclusion”. Here you will share your insights about this strategy and your expectations regarding achieving your goals. (1 paragraph).
Globally, cervical cancer is considered the fourth most common cancer among women. Approximately 604,000 new incidences were reported in 2020, while deaths due to this condition are said to be 342 000. It is estimated that about 90 percent of deaths happen in developing countries (low and middle-income). Women diagnosed with HIV are at six times higher risk of developing cervical cancer than those without HIV. About 5 percent of all incidences are linked to HIV. There has been a drop in the contribution of HIV disease on diagnosis with cervical cancer amongst younger women. Some programs in developed nations allow girls to vaccinate against HPV regularly with adequate treatment. The screening process is essential as it will enable early identification of the pre-cancerous lesions, thus making it easier for successful treatment.
On the other hand, individuals from nations from low- and middle-income regions experienced reduced levels of accessing preventive measures. The disease is not identified until it reaches the advanced stage and shows the symptoms. There is also limited access to treatment hence causing high rates of death from this condition in these nations. Therefore, the discussion looks into the effects of the HPV vaccine in reducing cervical cancer incidences compared to no interventions amongst women aged 15-26 years.
