NUR291: Health Promotion

Papakolea and Nursing

Papakolea

Overview

The community leaders of Papakolea conducted a health needs assessment of their Native Hawaiian Homestead residents. Based on the results, project ideas emerged. Their focus is to promote ohana-health and aging-in-place safely - keeping the community together while providing education and access to healthcare.

Projects

Ohana Health Fair: an event for the community, held at Lincoln School, on Saturday, March 2, 2013. Volunteer shift is 8am-4pm (fair is 10am-2pm). Check in with Ms. Adrienne Dillard at the school.
Community Garden: Near the neighborhood's schools, there is a 60’ x 80’ Community Garden, and it’s growing in the name of food sustainability. Harvests are for the kupuna, but as the garden grows, it will also serve the resource needs of the Community Kitchen and the entrepreneurial ventures of the residents. The health of community is tied to health of the land.
- For Spring 2013, community garden work days are on the following days from 7am-10am:
  - Saturday, February 2
  - Saturday, March 9
  - Saturday, April 6
  You must attend 2 of the community work days.
  Check in with Aunty Theone in the garden.
You’ll be scheduled for ONE of these projects during your training sessions.

Training Sessions

Papakole'a's leadership is offering our students the gift of their mana'o. Cultural competency, an understanding of community, perspective on the contexts for healthcare and public health nursing, and our respective roles are learning objectives of their training sessions. These lessons will be invaluable for students throughout their study of nursing, in future service-learning in their careers. Some of the training curriculum modules include:

Native Hawaiian health
Aging in Hawaii
Cultural competence in health care
Cultural trauma
People and cultures of Hawaii
