    Community Health Nursing Concept

    • Community Health Nursing is a combination of nursing and public health practices to promote and maintain population health.
    • It's a general and comprehensive approach, applicable to all age groups and diagnostic categories.
    • It's continuous, not episodic.

    Theoretical Models/Approaches

    • Health Belief Model (HBM): It focuses on individual beliefs about health and their influence on health behaviors.
    • Milio's Framework for Prevention: Expands on HBM by analyzing how social and environmental factors influence health choices.
    • Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model: Highlights individual characteristics, cognitions and situational influences on health promotion.
    • Lawrence Green's PRECEDE-PROCEED Model: A comprehensive framework for planning, implementing and evaluating health programs.
