Study Notes
Concepts of the Community
- Community: A group of individuals sharing common characteristics or interests within a defined geographical area.
- Types of Communities:
- Geopolitical: Based on territorial boundaries (e.g., a school).
- Phenomenological: Based on community function and relationships (e.g., CHNN312).
Community Health Nursing Concepts
- A learned practice discipline aimed at improving health and achieving an Optimum Level of Functioning (OLOF).
- Relies on existing community organizations and emphasizes preventive health approaches.
- Involves case definition, epidemiology, and health indicators for assessing population health.
Epidemiology
- Study of health conditions' occurrence and distribution within populations.
- Involves critical analysis using statistics to understand disease patterns and risk factors.
- Focuses on determinants like biological, chemical, social, and economic influences on health.
Natural History of Disease
- Stages of disease progression:
- Pre-pathogenesis: Phase before disease onset.
- Pathogenesis: Phase after disease onset with symptomatic and discernible lesions.
- Core Models:
- The Wheel: Highlights the role of genetics and environmental factors.
- The Web: Represents interconnected risk factors for diseases.
Epidemiological Models
- Epidemiological Triangle: Describes disease occurrence as a balance between host, agent, and environmental factors.
- Wheel Model: Emphasizes the genetic makeup of the host and surrounding influences on health.
- Web Model: Illustrates complex interrelated risk factors, applicable to non-communicable diseases.
Epidemiological Investigation Steps
- Operationally define what constitutes a "case."
- Identify cases based on definitions and verify outbreak existence.
- Establish descriptive epidemiological features of cases and record clinical manifestations.
- Collect data on incubation periods and relevant laboratory findings.
Herd Immunity
- Refers to the likelihood of a community developing an epidemic when an infectious agent is introduced.
- Influenced by vaccination status and community health service provision.
Health Indicators and Record Keeping
- Accurate data collection and reporting are essential for effective community health nursing.
- Surveillance and research inform health promotion strategies and interventions.
Final Notes
- Community Health Nursing is a critical field that bridges the gap between health promotion and disease prevention, relying heavily on statistical and epidemiological methods to inform practices and policies.
