RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The Affordable Care Act of 2010 emphasized the importance of primary care and preventative services as core components to promote the health of the U.S. METHOD: A unique program was created for baccalaureate nursing students to provide learning and practice experiences in primary practice sites that emphasized chronic disease prevention and management, including mental health and substance abuse services. Students were selected using a holistic approach. RESULTS: Students were selected to participate in the project. A community leadership advisory board was created. Students were assigned to the Veteran Administration's primary care clinics for their clinical experiences. CONCLUSION: This project is well-developed to increase the knowledge of present and future RNs, interprofessional providers and educators, researchers, and policy makers in community-oriented primary care.

The US population reflects a rich diversity of people that is not reflected in the health care workforce. This article describes the Adelante (Moving Forward) Program, an innovative model designed to increase nursing workforce diversity. Adelante was created to advance baccalaureate nursing students and prenursing students by using supportive developmental relationships and mentoring strategies. Graduates stated that they planned to advance their education. Further development of innovative programs for nursing students from diverse backgrounds is imperative to increase health care workforce diversity.

The purpose of this systematic literature review was to describe the empirical findings on health literacy in adults 65 and older. A systematic search for research studies from 1999 to early 2010 was conducted in MEDLINE and CINAHL databases. Articles were analyzed using the following foci: skills and health knowledge, functional health literacy, and health behaviors and health outcomes. Findings indicated that advancing age resulted in a significant increase in prevalence of inadequate health literacy. Further research is needed to develop evidence-based, culturally congruent interventions to improve health literacy among older adults.
