Every year the step team does a performance during the Health Fair. This year we wanted to try something different, so we decided to teach steps to children from the area. Most of our steps are elite and very tedious to learn so we had to figure out what steps would be appropriate to teach without the children losing interest. Originally, we started with three kids who are siblings of one of my teammates. Later on in the day, after the drill team performed, some of drill team members came over to learn a couple of step moves, along with a couple of girls from the dancing school.

The data found was from Washington States Health Youth Survey Online Analysis in 2014 for 12th graders. “The Health Youth Survey is a collaborative effort of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Department of Health, the Department of Social and Health Service’s Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, the Liquor and Cannabis Board, and the Department of Commerce. They provide important survey results about health of adolescents in Washington.” (1) The Health Youth Survey question on race/ethnicity asks “How do you describe yourself?” which is broken down into American Indian of Alaskan native, Asian or Asian American/Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, Black or African-American, Hispanic or Latina/Latina, White or Caucasian, and More than one selected/Other. For the lifetime cigarette smoking, just a puff question asks is “Have you ever smoked a cigarette, even just a puff?” which is answered by a yes or no.

Obesity identifies biologically those children who will later in life develop comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and muskoskeletal problems. This health promotion topic is chosen because of the recent epidemics and prevalence of childhood obesity. The prevalence of obesity in childhood is a big concern because of its adverse consequences in the short and long term. According to World Health Organization (WHO), the rise in childhood obesity for the past ten years has been very alarming. It was noted that Overweight and obesity now rank as the

Promoting health within the family is just as important as the health of each family member. Assessing health patterns within the family structure, aids in identifying specific areas where nursing can intervene and help the family move in a direction of better health.

Essentially, the data gathered helps in formulating nursing diagnoses in areas of wellness, risk and actual diagnoses.

Outcomes Tools. Health promotion has countless significance when it relates to the healthcare profession, especially in patients diagnosed with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. A measurement tool to evaluate the health promotion behaviors is DMHP. The DMHP scale was created by Chia-Pei, Yun-Shing, Hsu-Huei, Hsiao-Yun, and Mei-Yen (2013) to measure health promoting behaviors in patients diagnosed with diabetes. The DMHP scale has been shown to be reliable and valid with a context validity index of 0.97 and an internal consistency cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.90.

During these 5 days of the Health Class , I have experienced very few eustress and get more distress. I don’t like these stressors, the eustress is same as usual such as my schoolwork or my social with another classmate. I found out that I handle distress with exercise or I handle it by just going to sleep or confront the direct problem by myself. However, I did find new stressor , which was the Health Class’s obnoxious behavior, of course, that doesn't mean that I hate it that much. Sometimes it gives me stress, but no that much.
