Week 3: Assignment – Part 1: Introduction and Problem Statement

Introduction 

When a person’s blood pressure rises over the normal range, they are said to be suffering from hypertension. A person’s lifestyle and other living conditions might affect the severity and prevalence of the illness. Given their living circumstances, the homeless are more likely to suffer from hypertension (Bernstein et al., 2018). To deal with this group of people, efficient clinical practices are required. A clinical practice guideline is also critical to treating homelessness because of the increasing number of homeless people and the link between their condition and their living situations. For developing a clinical practice regimen for controlling hypertension among the homeless, training is the most crucial stage. To effectively handle the issue of homelessness among the homeless, professionals must understand the specific circumstances and challenges faced by these people. For homeless hypertensive patients, the diagnosis is the second most critical step in the treatment process. This patient group’s specific characteristics should be considered in the diagnosis. Because of this, it is necessary to study and use strategies specific to the homeless to treat the condition effectively. Patients with hypertension who are homeless might benefit from using clinical practice standards or recommendations. So, it assists in understanding and resolving issues from people’s points of view. As a result, homeless people are at a greater risk of exposure and severity to the condition (Kinchen & Wright, 2021). Consequently, these recommendations may prevent diagnostic mistakes and improve the care of these individuals.

Problem Statement

The use of clinical practice standards or protocols is critical in the management of diabetes. Even though symptoms are similar, homeless people are more likely to get infected and more likely to have a severe illness as a result. Clinical protocols for controlling hypertension among the homeless are currently lacking in research. As a result, the findings of this research will shed light on a variety of potential solutions to the problem moving ahead.

Project Purpose Statement

Having high blood pressure is a disorder that affects many people worldwide. Clinical strategies or recommendations for addressing this disease should be implemented. Homeless people have greater exposure and illness severity risks than those who aren’t. Clinical protocols for controlling high blood pressure among the homeless are lacking in the current study. Consequently, the findings of this research will provide light on the many approaches that may be used to solve the problem for the targeted demographic.

Background And Significance

There is a need for special instructions on treating hypertension in homeless persons because of the many obstacles they experience. Since the circumstances of homelessness place a great deal of strain on medical professionals, a well-defined clinical procedure is required in order to accurately diagnose and treat the condition (Baggett et al., 2018). In order to deal with this group of people, efficient clinical practices are required. Consequently, it is necessary to study and use therapies specific to this set of people’s lifestyles and living situations in order to treat the illness effectively.

Innovation in this proposed initiative is that it would allow homeless persons who are hypertensive and face particular problems in society to get a more thorough diagnostic that takes time and takes into account their unique cases (Association, 2020). All people with this illness, for example, must rest before having their blood pressure tested. This study is being launched to improve the diagnosis and treatment of homeless individuals with hypertension. Because the diagnosis will be right, the subsequent actions will likewise be proper and address the patient’s specific issues (Baggett et al., 2018).

PICOT Question

“In Homeless People (Population), how effective are clinical practice protocols (Intervention) compared to using general protocols (Comparison) for the management of hypertension (Outcome) during the diagnosis and treatment period (Time)?”
