Health Educ Plan
Health Educ Plan
A written or printed course of action that contains health promotion and disease prevention programs
and/or activities for a target individual, group, community, or family based on their health
needs/problems.
Health education is one strategy for implementing health promotion and disease prevention programs.
PLANNING
A process of making thoughtful and systematic decisions about what needs to be done, how it has to be
done, by whom, and with what resources.
The process of generating a teaching plan helps the health educator to:
• Recognize and use methods of learning that involve the client as an active participant.
• Include a list of speci昀椀c actions or abilities that the client may perform at intervals during
the educational intervention.
• Clarify what he/she expects participants to do when the educational intervention is over
TARGET PARTICIPANTS
1. Get background information about the client/participants.
• who?
• what?
• where?
2. Conduct a needs assessment of the participants.
• identify learning needs.
TOPIC SELECTION
• Based on the identi昀椀ed need/s of the target participants
• Factors to consider:
➢ Program/activity objectives
➢ Time allotment
➢ Avoid cramming too much information and details.
I. ELEMENTS
1. Purpose
2. Statement of overall goal
3. List of objectives
4. Outline of content
5. Instructional Methods
6. Time Allotted
7. Resources
8. Evaluation
II. OBJECTIVES
• act as the guide or compass of the educator in planning, implementation, and evaluation of
teaching and learning outcomes.
• Types of Objectives:
1. Educational objectives – identify the intended outcomes of the education process
Ex: Within four years after graduation, alumni of the Nursing Department shall demonstrate
the ability to carry out basic and advanced nursing interventions.
2. Instructional objectives – describe the teaching activities, speci昀椀c content areas, and
resources used to facilitate e昀昀ective instruction.
Ex: The students will be able to solve four out of 昀椀ve linear equations, without the aid of
outside materials, in one hour.
3.Behavioral/learning objectives- describe precisely what the client will be able to do in the
following client situation
achieved at the end of one teaching session or shortly after several teaching sessions.
• Characteristics:
o a. Performance - what the learner is expected to be able to do.
▪ What should the client be able to do?
o b. Condition - situations under which the behavior will be observed.
▪ Under which condition should the client be able to do it?
o c. Criterion - how well, with what accuracy, or within what time frame the learner must be
able to perform.
▪ How well must the client be able to do it?
ABCD Rule:
A – Audience (who)
B – Behavior (what)
C – Condition (under which circumstance)
D – Degree (how well, to what extent, within what time frame)
Example: After a 20-minute teaching session on relaxation techniques, Mrs. Bachinela will
be able to identify three distinct techniques for lowering her stress level.
Example:
Topic: Wound Care
General Objectives: After 1 hour of nursing students will be able to acquire knowledge, skills, and
attitudes regarding proper execution of wound care.
Taxonomy is a classi昀椀cation, categorization or arrangement of things based on their relationship with one
another.
Taxonomy of Educational Objectives is a tool for the systematic classi昀椀cation of behavioral ojectives:
cognitive, a昀昀ective & psychomotor.
• Taxonomy of Objectives:
o a. Cognitive – learning domain
o b. A昀昀ective – feeling domain
o c. Psychomotor/Behavioral – skills domain
What is Competency?
➢ A combination of skills, knowledge, and attitudes that enables an individual to perform a
task to the standards required for successful job performance.
➢ Deals with “what is expected in the workplace.”
➢ Emphasis on performing an actual job and not gaining knowledge or skills for their own
sake.
• The process of selecting a teaching method requires a prior determination of the behavioral
objectives to be accomplished and an assessment of the learners.
• Factors a昀昀ecting the choice of methodologies:
o Objectives and type of learning
o Course content
o Abilities and interests of the teacher
o Learning needs and style of learners
o Number of students in class
IV. RESOURCES
• The tools and aids used to transmit information supplement, rather than replace, the act of
teaching and the role of the nurse as an educator.
• Factors to consider:
o Characteristics of the learner
o Characteristic of the medium
o Characteristic of the task
V. EVALUATION
• systematic collection, analysis, and reporting of information about health education activities
• based on the learning objectives
• Purpose: Determining the EFFECTIVENESS and EFFICIENCY of the health plan
• Criterion:
o Met
o Partially Met
o Unmet
o Types:
1. Process evaluation
assessing the process of your health education implementation and how the work
takes place.
2. Impact evaluation
assessing the immediate e昀昀ects of your health education activities on the people
who have received health education messages.
3. Outcome evaluation
assessment of some of these measurable long-term outcomes or e昀昀ects of your
health education activities
