Editor's Notes

  1. In 2013, Lafayette County had a higher mortality rate for diseases of the heart (330.94) than Arkansas (249.28) and the US (193.31) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics, 2015). I chose to identify a heart disease goal from Healthy People 2020 to help met this disparity in Lafayette County based on the statistics reported that there is a higher mortality rate for heart disease in this county. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports “Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States (2015). In the United States, 292,188 women died from heart disease in 2009 (CDC, 2015). According to the CDC Wonder database (2015), 11 women (ages 35-85+) died in Lafayette County related to heart disease in 2013. To improve cardiovascular health of residents in Lafayette county, a heart disease risk factor screening program will be established. The target population will be women aged 35-65.
  2. Lafayette County is in the southernmost part of Arkansas bordering Louisiana. There are four towns located in this county; Bradley, Buckner, Lewisville, and Stamps. The townships are Baker (most of Stamps), French, Hadley (Buckner, small part of Stamps), La Grange (small part of Lewisville), Mars Hill, Roane (Bradley), Russell, Steel (most of Lewisville), and Walker Creek (Lafayette County, Arkansas, 2015).   The US Census Bureau reports an estimated 2014 population to be 7,111. This is down 134 from the year before and down over 500 since 2010 when the last census was conducted. As of the 2013 US Census Population Estimates Program (PEP), the county is 61.2% white, 37.1% Black with the remaining 2% being Hispanic. 51.5% of the population is female. 89% of people living in Lafayette County have lived in their home for at least one year or longer. The median income is $29,732 with 24% below the poverty level (United States Census Bureau, 2015). High school graduate or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013 EDU635213 77.5% 83.7% Bachelor's degree or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013 EDU685213 10.7% Persons 65 years and over http://statisticalatlas.com/county/Arkansas/Lafayette-County/Occupations

  4. Schools Lafayette County has a county school district with schools in both Lewisville and Stamps. The Elementary School is located in Lewisville, also the county seat of Lafayette County. The Lafayette County High School is located in Stamps (Lafayette County School District, 2015).

She is most known for her work titled I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The city of Stamps is the childhood home of Mrs. Angelou and was depicted in her autobiography (Maya Angelou City Park, 2015).     Community resources There are very few community resources available for residents of Lafayette County.

The national average was an increase of 3.1 years for females and an increase of 5.5 years for males.
  9. In 2013, Lafayette County had a higher mortality rate for diseases of the heart (330.94) than Arkansas (249.28) and the US (193.31) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics, 2015). I chose to identify a heart disease goal from Healthy People 2020 to help met this disparity in Lafayette County based on the statistics reported that there is a higher mortality rate for heart disease in this county. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports “Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States (2015). In the United States, 292,188 women died from heart disease in 2009 (CDC, 2015). According to the CDC Wonder database (2015), 11 women (ages 35-85+) died in Lafayette County related to heart disease in 2013. To improve cardiovascular health of residents in Lafayette county, a heart disease risk factor screening program will be established. The target population will be women aged 35-65.   Healthy People Health Disparity #1: Heart Disease   Heart Disease Goal: Improve cardiovascular health and quality of life through prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors for heart attack and stroke; early identification and treatment of heart attacks and strokes; and prevention of repeat cardiovascular events (USDHHS, 2015). Short Term Objectives 1. “HDS-4 Increase the proportion of adults who have had their blood pressure measured within the preceding 2 years and can state whether their blood pressure was normal or high” (USDHHS, 2015). 2. “HDS-8 Reduce the mean total blood cholesterol levels among adults” (USDHHS, 2015). 3. “HDS-17 Increase the proportion of adults aged 20 years and older who are aware of the symptoms of and how to respond to a stroke” (USDHHS, 2015).

  11. Using the CDC Wonder database (2015), I was able to determine the leading cause of death of Lafayette County Older Adult (65 and older) residents. Diseases of the heart are the leading cause of death for this target population. This ICD 10 group includes acute and chronic rheumatic fever, hypertensive heart disease, hypertensive heart disease and chronic kidney disease, and ischemic heart diseases (I20-I25). Ischemic heart disease diagnoses include pulmonary heart disease, pericarditis, endocarditis, valve disorders, valvular endocarditis, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, AV and left bundle branch block, cardiac arrest, atrial fibrillation, other arrhythmias, heart failure and complications of heart disease. To prevent these older adult deaths, you need to begin preventative measures earlier. Therefore, to improve cardiovascular health of residents in Lafayette County, the target population will be women aged 35-65. According to the CDC Wonder database (2015), 11 women (ages 35-85+) died in Lafayette County related to heart disease in 2013. An important screening intervention that can be performed at every patient contact is high blood pressure screening. The U. S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that all adults aged 18 and older be screened for hypertension (HTN). This screening applies only to those without a hypertension diagnosis previously. This screening recommendation is graded A which means that there is substantial benefit if the service is provided (Blood Pressure in Adults, 2015). The USPSTF recommendations state “HTN should be diagnosed only after 2 or more elevated readings on at least 2 visits over a period of 1 to several weeks (2015).” There is not a recommended screening interval, but it easily completed with every patient contact. According to the panel members appointed to the Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8), hypertension is one of the most preventable and important contributors to disease and death. There have been blood pressure goals established for general population (no chronic kidney disease (CKD) or diabetes) and those patients with CKD and diabetes. General population patients 60 and older should have a BP goal of <150/<90 and those younger than 60 should have a BP goal of <140/<90. Any age patient with CKD or diabetes should have a goal of <140/<90 (James et. al, 2014).     References   Blood Pressure in Adults: Screening. U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

Planning, implementing, evaluating health promotion programs: A Primer (6th ed.). San Francisco, CA: Pearson Benjamin Cummings. This framework uses 6 steps: engaging stakeholders, describing the program, focusing the evaluation design, gathering credible evidence, justifying conclusions, and ensuring use and shared lessons learned (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). Step 1 is to engage the stakeholders, which is “those involved in the program, those served or affected by the program, and the primary users of the evaluations results” (McKenzie, 2013). For the Heart to Heart program the stakeholders are the target population, program facilitators/board members, and myself. The next step, step 2, is to describe the program. McKenzie (2013) states that this sets the frame of reference for the rest of the evaluation. Included in this step are the mission, goals, and objectives of the program (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). For the Heart to Heart program, the goal is to Improve cardiovascular health and quality of life through prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors for heart attack and stroke; early identification and treatment of heart attacks and strokes; and prevention of repeat cardiovascular events through increasing the number of adults who have had their blood pressure measured within the preceding 2 years and can state whether their blood pressure was normal or high and to increase the proportion of adults with hypertension whose blood pressure is under control. These objectives are key for the Heart to Heart program to be beneficial to the target population of women ages 35-65 living in Lafayette County who agree to participate in the program. Step 3 is focusing on the evaluation design which involves making sure that those in the program development have used the resources appropriately and efficiently. For this step it is best to formulate a research question and determine the type of design that is going to be used (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). For the Heart to Heart program, a Quantitative study design is the best fit, since we will be measuring the number of participants will be able to state what their last blood pressure readings were and if the blood pressure was normal or high and the number of participants ages 35-65 with hypertension will have normalized blood pressure readings in provider medical records.

Planning, implementing, evaluating health promotion programs: A Primer (6th ed.). San Francisco, CA: Pearson Benjamin Cummings. Step 4 is gathering credible evidence, which involves deciding measurement indicators, quality, quantity, and the logistics for collecting the evidence. This step requires a lot of organization to keep the data needed for measuring the evidence (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). For the Heart to Heart program, this will require all parties to be involved, especially the nurses who are completing the screenings. Documentation will play a critical role in this step. The duties of the personnel involved in the Heart to Heart program will be listed in detail prior to implementation. LPN’s will be asked to complete blood pressure monitoring via sphygmomanometer, lab draws for cholesterol screenings, and smoking screenings. RN’s will be asked to complete the educational portion of the program, including follow up education for those with further questions. RN’s will also be asked to assist the LPN’s if the screening process becomes extremely busy as to avoid having any patient wait longer than set by the stakeholders. APRN’s will interpret the data collected by the LPN’s and RN’s and make recommendations based on this data. The APRN’s will also be completing a full health history with a focus on cardiovascular health history. Administrative staff will create email databases based on the recommendations of APRN’s in order to send the appropriate educational materials. Step 5 entails justifying conclusion, which compares the evidence against five elements: “standards, analysis/synthesis, interpretation, judgment and recommendations.” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). For the program in Lafayette County, the techniques used for analysis of the data and interpretation of findings should be discussed and determined before data collection begins. This will require that the stakeholders in the Heart to Heart program know that the conclusions for the data must be directly linked to the evidence (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). The final step, step 6, is ensuring use and sharing lessons learned. The step focuses on what the group does with the results. For the Lafayette County program, this will involve stakeholders stating their needs to each other so that trust can be built and maintained. In sharing of lessons learned, this can take place in a formal report or a less formal verbal meeting that should be predetermined by the stakeholders (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). Stakeholders, when developing the program evaluation framework, should discuss strengths and weaknesses. For the Heart to Heart program in Lafayette County, strengths include reducing heart disease for the target population, educating the population about heart disease and the associated risk factors. Other strengths of the program include reducing the number of people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking history. One weakness that I have been able to determine is participants not following through with recommendations or appointments. Another weakness is patients who lack the self-efficacy to change their behavior.
