Guidelines for Community Health Project: Suicide Among Teenagers and Youth in Alaska

Nursing 444 – Population-Focused Community Health Nursing
Guidelines for Community Health Project
Overview
This project is designed to help the student understand how major health concepts are applied within the discipline of nursing to meet health care needs of a population at risk (PAR) in the community. The project provides students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to synthesize information about the interrelationships between public health science, nursing, health policy, and health care services into community-based interventions.
The specific purpose of the project is to provide the student with an opportunity to use the nursing process to provide an assessment, community-based diagnosis, planning strategies, interventions that are evidence-based and a strategy for evaluation in providing care for a PAR.
The project must be developed and implemented as part of the clinical experience. Although the assessment, diagnosis and planning component must be done at the clinical site, the student may use a proposed approach in designing the interventions.
In other words, the student may provide interventions that are not necessarily implemented or evaluated during the short 45-hour period for clinical. Nonetheless, the student still needs to formulate interventions and strategies for evaluation. This is a project that is developed throughout the semester.
Students are encouraged to submit their paper to the writing center before submitting. This is the one AND ONLY one paper that must be in perfect APA format without any grammar errors and written in professional tone.
Use the major headings on the following pages as your headings for your paper.

APA, Grammar & Professional Tone Reminder
1. Apply proper italics and capitalization per APA requirements. Remember, THERE IS a difference between in text and the reference section as far as capitalization of names of articles.
2. Whenever citing something EXACT in the body of the paper, ALWAYS cite a reference WITH A PAGE NUMBER. This includes anything from an article with A NUMBER as NUMBERS ARE ALWAYS precise.
3. Write out all number less than ten.
4. For reference section, double check to make sure if you are referencing from a specific URL as in retrieving something, you cite a specific retrieval date. Otherwise, use a doi.
5. ONLY USE articles that pertain to NURSING practice.
6. Whenever starting a new paragraph, at the first writing of information from a source ALWAYS cite the reference. That way, you are covered for documenting at least once, in a paragraph from a source.
7. NEVER USE DIRECT QUOTES—At this level of your education you should paraphrase ALWAYS. Citing direct quotes means you do not have a grasp of the material, which requires the parroting of material.
8. Double and triple check your references to make sure all material is cited properly within the text as well as within the reference section.
9. If you are listing a direct internet source in which you retrieved article YOU MUST cite the retrieval date.
10. At least three sentences for each and every paragraph.
