Study Notes
Factors Affecting Health
- Low education correlates with poor health, increased stress, and lower self-confidence.
- Physical environment (clean air, water, safe housing) significantly impacts health.
- Employment and control over working conditions improve health outcomes.
- Strong social support networks are linked to better health.
- Cultural customs, traditions, and beliefs influence health practices.
- Genetics play a role in lifespan, health, and disease susceptibility.
- Personal behaviors (diet, exercise, substance use) and coping mechanisms affect health.
- Access to and utilization of healthcare services influence health outcomes.
- Men and women experience different diseases at varying ages.
Public Health and Community Health
- C.E. Winslow's definition of Public Health: The science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized community efforts focusing on environmental sanitation, communicable disease control, personal hygiene education, early disease diagnosis and treatment, and ensuring a standard of living that supports health.
- Public health involves organized, legislated, and tax-supported initiatives serving all people via health departments and related governmental agencies.
9 Essential Public Health Functions (WHO)
- Health situation monitoring and analysis.
- Epidemiological surveillance/disease prevention and control.
- Development of public health policies and planning.
- Strategic management of health systems and services for population health gain.
- Regulation and enforcement to protect public health.
- Human resources development and planning in public health.
- Health promotion, social participation, and empowerment.
- Ensuring the quality of personal and population-based health services.
- American Nurses Association (ANA, 1996) defines Public Health Nursing (PHN) as promoting and protecting population health using knowledge from nursing, social, and public health sciences; aiming to promote health and prevent disease and disability through creating conditions that enable people to be healthy.
Community-Based Nursing vs. Community Health Nursing (CHN)
- CHN: Emphasizes health preservation and protection; the community is the primary client.
- Community-Based Nursing: Focuses on managing acute and chronic conditions; individuals and families are the primary clients.
Population-Focused Nursing
- Concentrates on specific population groups, emphasizing health promotion and disease prevention regardless of location.
- Key aspects include focusing on the entire population, basing interventions on population health assessments, considering broad health determinants, employing all levels of prevention and intervening with communities, systems, individuals, and families.
- The ultimate goal is to promote healthy communities.
Data for CHN Practice
- Epidemiological knowledge of health problems and solutions.
- Community information (demographic data from vital statistics and censuses; health statistics identifying high-risk groups; information on available services and providers).
Family as the Basic Unit of Care in CHN
- The family is the basic unit of care in CHN, with individuals also being a focus in clinical settings.
The Intervention Wheel
- A framework for community and public health nursing practice.
- Population-based, incorporating community, systems, and individual/family levels of practice.
- Identifies and defines 17 public health interventions grouped into 5 wedges.
17 Public Health Interventions
- Surveillance (monitoring health events).
- Disease and health event investigation (data gathering and analysis).
- Outreach (locating populations of interest or at risk).
- Screening (identifying unrecognized health risks).
- Case finding (identifying risk factors and connecting individuals to resources).
- Referral and follow-up (assistance in accessing necessary resources).
- Case management (optimizing self-care).
- Delegated functions (direct care tasks performed by the nurse).
- Health teaching (communicating information to change knowledge, attitudes, behaviors).
- Counseling (providing guidance and support).
- Consultation (providing expert advice).
- Collaboration (working with others to achieve common goals).
- Coalition building (forming alliances to address community health issues).
- Community organizing (mobilizing community resources).
- Advocacy (acting on behalf of others).
- Social marketing (applying marketing principles to promote health behaviors).
- Policy development and enforcement (creating and implementing policies to support population health).
- Evaluation (using assessment tools such as quizzes, conferences, and return demonstrations)
Family Data Analysis in Family Health Nursing
- Data analysis compares findings with accepted standards for individual family members and the family unit.
- The nurse correlates findings across data categories, identifying gaps and needs for further detail.
Organizing Family Data
- Family Structure and Characteristics: Household membership, demographics, family members outside the household, family mobility, and family dynamics (emotional bonding, authority, autonomy, division of labor, communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution). Tools like genograms, ecomaps, and family trees are used.
- Socioeconomic Characteristics: Social integration (ethnicity, language, social networks), education, work history, finances, leisure interests, cultural influences, and religious affiliation.
- Family Environment: Physical environment of the home and neighborhood.
- Family Health and Health Behavior: Activities of daily living, self-care, risk behaviors, health history, current health status, and healthcare resource utilization.
Family Nursing Diagnoses
