In the United States, pediatric obesity remains an unresolved epidemic. Locally, children in the rural Mississippi community of Houston suffer from pediatric obesity or being overweight. The Mississippi Kids Count (2019), reports that 13.1% of children ages 10-17 are overweight and 26.1% of children ages 10-17 are obese.
The purpose of this project is to apply Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model to improve the overall health and wellness of the pediatric population in the rural church setting over the course of four weeks. The target group will consist of children from the ages of 7-12 in the rural church setting.
The project is best supported using Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model (RAM). RAM emphasizes that in order for one to become successful, they must first adapt and adopt recommended guidelines and recommendations. The theoretical framework involves adaptation, health, environment and quality of life to obtain a healthy life.
