AGGREGATE (TARGET) POPULATION Aggregate Population: Elderly Description: 65 years of age or older 10,951 seniors in Schaumburg (World Population Review, 2020). 32\% of the seniors are living alone in Schaumburg (SeniorCare, 2020). Erikson stage: Integrity vs. Despair The aggregate population we decided to focus on is the elderly. The elderly includes those aged 65 years or older. In Schaumburg, there are 10,951 seniors (World Population Review, 2020). Out of the 10,951 seniors, 32\% of them are living alone, which can create some problems for them and the city of Schaumburg. In general, the elderly persons are in the Erikson stage of integrity vs. despair. This stage is when they look back on their lives and decide if they feel accomplished or not. Many elderly persons view their lives as successful if they had a family, job, and are happy. If the elderly person does not feel as though their life was successful, this would lead to despair. There are many risks for the elderly population. Many times, the elderly start to slow down and cannot do as much as they were once able to. Many elderlies are retired, so they do not have to go to a job every day like they once did. With the elderly slowing down and not working, it can lead to risks such as obesity, poor living situations, and low income. To determine the best data about this population and to come up with solutions to the risks, the gatekeepers include the elderly themselves, the Schaumburg, Illinois Senior Guide, and assisted living facilities in Schaumburg. These are the gatekeepers because we are able to get the most information out of them about the aggregate population, the risks they face, and how they can be dealt with.

With the elderly slowing down and not working, it can lead to risks such as obesity, poor living situations, and low income. To determine the best data about this population and to come up with solutions to the risks, the gatekeepers include the elderly themselves, the Schaumburg, Illinois Senior Guide, and assisted living facilities in Schaumburg. These are the gatekeepers because we are able to get the most information out of them about the aggregate population, the risks they face, and how they can be dealt with. Image from: https://www.gutmicrobiotaforhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Gut_microbiota_elderly_young.jpg COMMUNITY HEALTH DIAGNOSES Diagnosis 1: Risk for overweight/obesity related to average daily physical activity is less than recommended for gender and age, sedentary behavior occurring for >2 hr/day, high frequency of restaurant or fried food, and portion sizes larger than recommended. Wellness Diagnosis 2: Readiness for enhanced knowledge related to influenza vaccine. We determined two priority risks for the elderly population in Schaumburg. The first risk for the elderly is overweight/obesity. The elderly persons typically are not able to move as much as they once did. Many elderly persons believe it is not safe for them to exercise, so they live a much more sedentary lifestyle than before. This can lead to many problems, which is why we thought it should be one of the priority diagnoses. The second priority diagnosis we chose to work on was the influenza vaccine. The elderly can benefit from receiving the flu vaccine because many times they have comorbidities and are immunocompromised. Sometimes the elderlies are also not informed why it is important for them to receive the vaccine or that they even should receive the vaccine. It is important for the elderly to receive the flu vaccine and get the education on it in order to decrease their chance of getting sick. PLAN FOR PRIORITY DIAGNOSIS #1 Long Term Goal: Senior citizens will be encouraged to participate in the monthly exercise activities hosted by the Senior Center of Schaumburg two times a week for at least 30 minutes. Short Term Goals: Senior citizens will eat a well balanced meal at home instead of going out to eat one night a week. Senior citizens can achieve community involvement and socialization by attending the monthly exercise activity hosted by the Senior Center as well as by exercising with peers will help senior citizens achieve their goals. The Older Adult Community Market provides fresh fruit, vegetables and non-perishable groceries to help senior citizens achieve their goal of eating a well balanced meal.

Senior citizen programs. https://www.villageofschaumburg.com/residents/senior-citizen-programs PLAN FOR PRIORITY DIAGNOSIS #2 Long Term Goal: Senior citizens will be encouraged to attend medical seminars hosted by the Senior Center for education on influenza vaccine and tips on how to prevent getting the flu annually before flu season. Senior citizens will also be encouraged to visit the clinic to receive influenza vaccine annually. Short Term Goals: Senior citizens will receive influenza vaccine before the start of flu season. The plan allows citizens to attend a medical seminar to ask questions about the vaccine as well as receive tips on how to prevent getting the flu as well as tips on how to treat symptoms. Going to a clinic allows citizens to receive flu shot without appointment or hassle. (Village of Schaumburg, 2020) Reference: Village of Schaumburg. (2020).

Secondary: Provide early treatment to those residents who show signs and symptoms of influenza such as fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, or fatigue. Tertiary: Recommend and provide supportive measures including antipyretics, antivirals and adequate hydration. (CDC, 2020) Reference: Flu symptoms & complications. (2020). CDC. Retrieved 18, October 2020, from https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/symptoms.htm EVALUATION FOR PRIORITY DIAGNOSIS Exercise and balanced diet can reduce weight, which will reduce the risk of the client suffering from diseases such as CAD, hypertension, and myocardial infarction. If older adults can implement these habits, obesity will decrease in this group in a few years. Flu vaccine can protect older adults from the virus and early treatment can prevent developing any complication such as pneumonia. Increased socialization with people in same age group will help decrease risk of depression, isolation, and help in dealing with loss of loved ones. These interventions will help in reaching goals discussed earlier in the PowerPoint. If clients adhere to these intervention, the difference can be noticed in two years.

EVALUATION FOR PRIORITY DIAGNOSIS Some of the measures used to evaluate meeting these goals are decrease incidence of obesity, decrease eating out in restaurants, increase participation in events hosted in Senior Center, increase in the number of older adults getting flu shots each year and attending medical seminars. The community nurse together with volunteers will organize events and keep track of participation. They will also work with local government and healthcare facilities to track how many people have received flu shot and incidence of obesity in the community.
