Study Notes
Community Health Nursing Concepts
- Community health nursing focuses on the health status of populations and the principles of public health.
- Key principles include prevention, health promotion, and the protection of health among communities.
- Features of community health nursing involve collaboration with other health sectors and a focus on health systems rather than individual patients.
- Theoretical models like the Health Belief Model and the Social-Ecological Model inform practice approaches in community health nursing.
- Diverse fields of community health nursing encompass maternal and child health, communicable disease control, and chronic disease management.
Concept of the Community
- Communities can be geographic, social, or virtual based on shared characteristics or interests.
- Characteristics of a healthy community include accessible healthcare, active participation of residents, and a supportive environment.
- A community comprises individuals, families, physical environment, social systems, and shared interests or values.
- Factors influencing community health encompass socioeconomic status, education level, and access to resources.
- Community health nurses play vital roles, including health education, advocacy, and connecting resources to individuals.
Health Statistics and Epidemiology
- Tools for health statistics include demography, health indicators, and epidemiological methods.
- Demography involves studying population dynamics, including size, composition, and spatial distribution influenced by births, deaths, and migration.
- Primary data is collected firsthand, while secondary data includes existing information gathered by others, such as census data.
- Vital statistics track critical life events, contributing to health indicators that reflect public health outcomes.
Health Indicators
- Health indicators are metrics to assess community health, such as birth and death rates, and disease prevalence.
- Crude Birth Rate (CBR) is calculated using total live births relative to the population size, usually expressed per 1,000 individuals.
- Crude Death Rate (CDR) measures overall mortality in a population, also expressed per 1,000 individuals.
- Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) quantifies the number of deaths among children under one year per 1,000 live births, reflecting maternal and child health quality.
