Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page paper discussing primary, secondary and tertiary levels of prevention in terms of use within an aggregate of individuals. Individuals seek health prevention efforts at varying stages.

efforts at varying stages. A broad-based aggregate can need primary, secondary and tertiary prevention levels. Because every individual is different and has different health care needs at any
given time, any attempt at prevention must address all three levels simultaneously. Levels of Need Torakis and Smigielski (2000) report that the Neuman
model "characterizes nursing intervention as levels of prevention: primary, secondary, and tertiary" (p. 394), and that either one or all may be used simultaneously for nursing action, depending on patient
needs. The goal of primary prevention is to "prevent stressors from impacting the client" (Torakis and Smigielski, 2000; p. 394). An example is teaching parents about asthma triggers.
Secondary prevention provides "appropriate treatment of symptoms" (Torakis and Smigielski, 2000; p. 394) with the goal of attaining patient stability, while the goal
of tertiary prevention "is to help the patient return to wellness following treatment" (Torakis and Smigielski, 2000; p. 394). Attention to all three levels is necessary in an aggregate
that is not extremely narrow in its selection of members. In most aggregates of interest, there will be individuals needing prevention measures that fall into all three categories. An
Example Aggregate Several of the individuals surveyed during a needs assessment for a heart disease prevention program indicated that they were aware of
at least two symptoms of stroke and heart attack. There is so much variability in symptoms - particularly in women - that review and reinforcement of knowledge of symptoms
of these two life-altering events is critical. It has been discussed in both the literature and popular press that heart attack research has been directed nearly exclusively to white
