Presentation: Bridging the Gap: Supporting Expectant Teen Mothers in Kisumu

(Slide 1: Title Slide)

Title: Bridging the Gap: Supporting Expectant Teen Mothers in Kisumu

(Image: A supportive hand gently resting on a pregnant belly)

(Voice-over): Good evening, stakeholders. I’m here today to discuss a critical need within our community: the challenges faced by expectant teen mothers in Kisumu and how we can work together to create a more supportive environment for them.

(Slide 2: The Need for Change)

(Image: A young woman looking worried and alone)

(Voice-over): Teen pregnancy is a significant public health issue in Kisumu. These young women often face social stigma, economic hardship, limited access to healthcare, and educational disruptions. These challenges can lead to adverse outcomes for both the mother and child, including premature birth, low birth weight, and compromised educational and economic opportunities. They are often forced to drop out of school, limiting their future prospects and perpetuating a cycle of poverty. This situation demands our attention and action.

(Slide 3: Lewin’s Change Management Model)

(Image: Graphic depicting Lewin’s three stages: Unfreeze, Change, Refreeze)

Voice-over): To effectively address this issue, we can utilize Lewin’s Change Management Model. First, we must unfreeze the current situation by raising awareness about the challenges faced by teen mothers and the benefits of supporting them. This can be done through community dialogues, media campaigns, and educational programs. Then, we implement the change by providing comprehensive support services, including prenatal care, parenting education, and educational opportunities. Finally, we refreeze the new situation by integrating these services into existing community structures and ensuring their sustainability.

(Slide 4: Proposed System-Level Strategy)

(Image: A group of young mothers participating in a support group session)

(Voice-over): I propose establishing a comprehensive Teen Mother Support Center in Kisumu. This center would provide integrated services, including:

  • Healthcare: Prenatal care, childbirth education, postpartum support, and pediatric care.
  • Education: A flexible learning program allowing teen mothers to continue their education.
  • Social Support: Counseling, peer support groups, and life skills training.
  • Economic Empowerment: Vocational training and job placement assistance.

(Slide 5: Evaluation)

(Image: Charts depicting potential evaluation metrics)

(Voice-over): The effectiveness of this center can be evaluated by tracking several metrics:

  • Rates of teen pregnancy: Monitor changes in teen pregnancy rates over time.
  • Birth outcomes: Track rates of premature births and low birth weight among teen mothers.
  • Educational attainment: Monitor the number of teen mothers who continue or complete their education.
  • Economic self-sufficiency: Track employment rates and income levels of teen mothers.
  • Client satisfaction: Regularly assess the satisfaction of teen mothers with the services provided.

(Slide 6: Sociocultural and Linguistic Responsiveness)

(Image: Diverse group of women in a support group, some in traditional attire)

(Voice-over): This center will be culturally and linguistically responsive by:

  1. Offering services in local languages: Ensuring that staff are fluent in Dholuo and Swahili, and translating materials into these languages.
  2. Incorporating cultural practices: Respecting and integrating traditional birthing practices and beliefs into the care provided. For example, involving traditional birth attendants in a collaborative care model.

This approach promotes equality by ensuring that all teen mothers, regardless of their background, have access to the support they need.

(Slide 7: Addressing Personal Biases)

(Image: A group of nurses engaging in a reflective discussion)

(Voice-over): As nurses, we must continuously reflect on our own biases regarding culture, socioeconomic status, and teen pregnancy. Engaging in cultural competency training, participating in reflective practice groups, and seeking supervision can help us become more self-aware and provide culturally sensitive care.

(Slide 8: Walden’s Social Change Focus)

(Image: A quote from Walden University about social change)

(Voice-over): Walden’s focus on social change aligns perfectly with a population health approach. It emphasizes our responsibility to address the social determinants of health and advocate for vulnerable populations. This perspective empowers us to be agents of change within our communities.

(Slide 9: Impact on Future Goals)

(Image: A nurse interacting with a patient)

(Voice-over): The concepts explored in this course have solidified my commitment to working with underserved populations. I plan to utilize my leadership skills to advocate for policies that support teen mothers and create sustainable programs that address their needs.

(Slide 10: Stakeholders)

(Image: Photos of the hypothetical stakeholders)

(Voice-over): I believe the following stakeholders would be particularly interested in this presentation:

  1. Mama Rose, Community Health Worker, Kisumu County Health Department: Mama Rose works directly with families in the community and has a deep understanding of their needs.
  2. Mr. Otieno, School Principal, Xyz Secondary School: Mr. Otieno is concerned about the high dropout rate among pregnant students and is looking for solutions.
  3. Dr. Akinyi, Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Kisumu County Hospital: Dr. Akinyi sees firsthand the medical complications associated with teen pregnancy and is passionate about improving maternal health outcomes.

(Slide 11: Thank You)
