    Nursing Theories in Community Health

    • Nursing theory underpins community and family care.
    • Health Belief Model predicts health behaviors to avoid disease, focusing on individual change.
    • Key components: perceived susceptibility, seriousness, threat, modifying factors, cues to action, and perceived benefits versus barriers.

    Milio's Framework for Prevention

    • Complements the Health Belief Model and emphasizes community-level change.
    • Links health deficits with the availability of health-promoting resources.
    • Behavior changes of individuals can lead to broader social change.

    Pender's Health Promotion Model

    • Similar to Health Belief Model but does not include health risks as a change factor.
    • Focuses on individual actions to promote health.
    • Factors affecting actions: personal characteristics, previous behavior, perceived benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, and influences from others.

    Essentials of Community Nursing

    • Determinants of health include nutrition, stress, education, environment, finances, and social status.
    • Health indicators like mortality rates and disease prevalence assess community health.

    Health Promotion Model Variables

    • Individual characteristics and experiences play a crucial role.
    • Behavior-specific cognitions, perceived benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, interpersonal and situational influences factor in health-promoting behavior.

    Community Health Frameworks

    • PRECEDE outlines planning for public health initiatives.
    • Geopolitical communities are defined by natural and man-made boundaries (barangays, municipalities).
    • Phenomenological communities based on shared culture, values, and interests (schools, churches).

    Characteristics of a Healthy Community

    • Access to quality education, safe homes, employment, transportation, physical activity, nutrition, and health care.

    • Life expectancy is assessed by person-years lived beyond age 0.
    • Swaroop's index tracks mortality in individuals above 50 years.

    Epidemiology Basics

    • Epidemiology studies the distribution and determinants of health conditions in populations.
    • It helps diagnose community health status, measure illness distribution, and evaluate health services.

    Functions of Epidemiology in Nursing

    • Implementing public health surveillance to monitor disease trends.

    Natural History of Disease

    • Understanding disease progression from susceptibility to outcomes like recovery or death.
    • Stages include prepathogenesis (susceptibility) and pathogenesis (development of disease).

    Patterns of Disease Occurrence

    • Sporadic: Isolated cases with no relation (e.g., rabies in the Philippines).
    • Endemic: Continuous cases over time (e.g., tuberculosis).
    • Epidemic: Large numbers in a short period (e.g., bird flu).
    • Pandemic: Global spread of disease (e.g., COVID-19).

    Community Health Assessment Tools

    • Key tools include demographics, vital statistics, and epidemiology.
    • Focus on population characteristics, socio-economic factors, and health service availability.
    • Data collection methods include observation, surveys, interviews, community forums, and focus groups.
