Contrast the terms primary care and primary health care and give an example of each related to community health nursing practice Correct Answer: Primary Care: a person's first point of contact with the health care system. Primary care services are dominated by medicine and have focused mainly on acute care and treatment of disease. The largest group of primary care providers in Canada is physicians. Other primary care providers are nurse practitioners, dentists, chiropractors, pharmacists, dieticians, midwives, optometrists and to some extent PHNs. Most Canadians access primary care though a family or general practitioner who is reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis. Only a few Canadians receive primary care services through a CHC, walk-in clinics, or emergency rooms.

Example related to CHN practice: A family who a PHN visits in the postpartum period may also see the primary care provider, most likely a GP, around the same time, increasing the need for interprofessional communication.

Primary Health Care: a philosophy or approach to care that involves the principles set forth at Alma Ata in 1978: health care that is accessible, affordable, and acceptable; uses appropriate technology; promotes health; and recognizes intersectoral and interdisciplinary approaches.

Examples related to CHN practice: a multidisciplinary community health council with several CHNs as members collaborates with a community to develop a network of safe bike and walking trails through residential and industrial neighbourhoods (page 22).

- Epp Report (1986): expanded the definition of health promotion, incorporated some of the tenets of primary health care, and emphasized social/environmental/political dimensions of health. Formed the basis for the Ottawa Charter of Health Promotion.

Acknowledges that caring for one's self and others is conducive to health. Identifies caring, holism, and ecology as essential concepts in health promotion.

- Population Health Template and Population Health Promotion Model (2001 and 1996): resources developed to put population health and health promotion into action. Used nationally and internationally in program planning, community development, and resource allocation (page 20) 28. Describe the importance of three historical milestones in the development of the Canadian health care system Correct Answer: 1867-1867—Constitution Act (BNA Act) assigned responsibility for hospitals to provinces. Did not explicitly assign responsibility for health policy to either federal or provincial government.

1919—national health insurance on the Liberal Party platform 1947— Saskatchewan gets Medicare under Tommy Douglas 1957—national Hospital Insurance and Diagnostic Services Act (HIDS) provides financial incentives to the provinces to build hospitals through 50/50 grants if provinces meet five key principles 1962— Saskatchewan gets universal, publicly funded medical insurance 1966—federal Medicare including physicians' services; if provinces meet same principles as HIDS, feds pay 50% of costs 1971—all provinces participate 1977—Established Programs Financing Act changes federal share of health costs to a per capita block grant 1996—Canada Health and Social Transfer (CHST) payments include federal transfer payments for health, postsecondary education, and welfare (page 18-19) 29.

Short Answer Questions 26. Identify four criteria that researchers and practitioners use to assess a causal relationship between a stimulus and the occurrence of a disease.

Correct Answer: -

temporal relationship: A person does not get the disease until after exposure to the cause.

-

strength of association: Exposure to a specific stressor or cause is most likely to bring on the disease.

dose-response: Persons who are most exposed to the contaminated food (e.g., ate the most) are the most ill.

-

specificity: The cause is linked to a specific disease (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis does not result in chickenpox).

-

consistency: Everyone who eats contaminated food gets the illness. If other food in another time and place is contaminated with the same bacteria, the same illness occurs.

-

biologic plausibility: Consistent with the biologic/medical knowledge that is known (new discoveries may precede biologic plausibility).

-

experimental replication: Several studies done by different scientists in different places produce the same or similar results. (page 207)

27. Describe why the Multiple Intervention Program (MIP) framework was developed initially in the late 1980s.

Correct Answer:

In Ontario in the late 1980s, there was a shift away from public health programs that predominantly involved home visits and clinically oriented services in schools and workplaces. As evidence on socio-ecological determinants increased, and as considerations of how best to distribute scarce resources in public health were debated, programs increasingly began to focus on interventions targeting multiple layers of the system. CHNs were asked to expand their interventions to include communities, organizations, and policy levels. With the input of PHNs and managers in Ottawa, a program framework was developed. (page 274)

28. Describe why the Multiple Intervention Program (MIP) framework was updated in the late 1990s.

Correct Answer: The MIP framework was updated because of observation and reflections of practitioners and from research. Managers identified the challenges of trying to plan and evaluate multiple intervention programs. Research findings were shedding light on a related set of issues, as some multiple intervention projects were successful and some were not. (page 274) 29. Outline the five main elements of the Multiple Intervention Program (MIP) framework and give a community health nursing practice example for each element.

Correct Answer: -

Identification of community health issues. CHN e.g., completing a community assessment to prioritize needs

-

description of socio-ecological determinants. CHN e.g., outlining strengths and capacities at different system levels

-

intervention options. CHN e.g., considering strategies that have demonstrated success and are theoretically sound

-

optimizing intervention strategies. CHN e.g., attending to the sequence and combination of strategies

-

monitoring and evaluating impacts, spin-offs, and sustainability. CHN e.g., identifying unintended effects of the program (page 274 – 280)

30. Define reach, dose, and intensity as they relate to interventions being considered within program planning. Provide a community health nursing practice example for each.

Correct Answer: -

The reach of an intervention concerns what proportion and which particular segments of an intended target population receive the interventions. CHN e.g., a PSA intended for all seniors will only reach those with a TV/radio.

-

The dose is the amount of intervention required to have an effect. CHN e.g., multiple exposures to a PSA are required to change awareness.

-

The intensity of the intervention refers to its quality and whether it is tailored to the population subgroup receiving the information. CHN e.g., a media campaign for seniors on the importance of walking has low relevance for seniors with impaired mobility. (page 278)
