Study Notes
Public Health Nursing Concepts
-
Health education involves planned learning experiences to improve knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors for better health. It includes teaching skills, promoting healthy choices, and encouraging individual responsibility for health.
-
Health planning phases include assessment (identifying health needs, resources, and community status), planning (developing strategies and goals to address health issues), and interventions (implementing actions to improve health outcomes).
Prevention Strategies
-
Primary prevention: preventing disease before it occurs, like vaccinations, promoting healthy habits, and reducing risk factors.
-
Secondary prevention: detecting and treating diseases early, preventing complications (e.g., cancer screenings, blood pressure checks).
-
Tertiary prevention: managing existing diseases and preventing further complications (e.g., rehabilitation, chronic disease management).
Health Achievements of the 20th Century
-
Vaccines (e.g., polio, smallpox, measles) have saved millions of lives.
-
Safer workplaces: Regulations and safety measures have reduced workplace injuries.
-
Control of infectious diseases: improved sanitation, clean water, and waste management have reduced the spread of infections.
-
Healthier mothers and babies: Advances in prenatal care and maternal health have reduced maternal and infant mortality.
Epidemiology and Community Health Assessment
-
Epidemiological Triangle: Identifies the host (person or population at risk), agent (cause of disease), and environment (factors influencing transmission of disease).
-
Data Sources: The CDC's MMWR and the U.S. Census Bureau provide data on community health.
Health Disparities
- Health disparities are differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare based on factors like race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geography, and education.
Key Risk Factors
-
Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues.
-
Obesity contributes to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems.
-
Hypertension and high cholesterol are significant risk factors for heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.
Health Promotion Strategies
-
Encourage lifestyle changes: supporting healthier behaviors like exercise and diet.
-
Advocate for healthier policies: working for public policies to support positive health behaviors.
SMART Goals
- SMART goals in community health planning should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
Health Belief Model
- People are more likely to take action to improve their health if they believe they are at risk, the problem is serious, action will reduce risk, and the benefits outweigh the costs.
Upstream Thinking
- Focuses on addressing the root causes of health problems (e.g., poverty, education, environmental factors) rather than just treating symptoms.
Major Public Health Figures

Florence Nightingale: Used statistics and sanitation to improve health outcomes during the Crimean War.
