Functional Health Pattern Assessment: A Seasonal Migrant Farmworker Community
Author: Decker, Susan D.
Date Published: 1990
This study attempts a broad-band needs assessment of seasonal migrant farmworkers served by the Outreach Program of a clinic based in a farming community in Western Oregon. Data collection was done using the community functional health pattern tool adapted by Gikow and Kucharski and based on Gordon's functional health pattern assessment typology. Review of relevant literature is presented as it relates to each functional health pattern. A primary and secondary nursing diagnosis is presented based on the data collected for each functional health pattern using Porter's factor-isolating theory of population group diagnosis.
