Community Health & Community Health Nursing Some definitions to get us started ▪ Community: — a group of people, whether together geographically (i.e. by town or neighbourhood), or within settings (i.e. workplaces, schools, places of worship) or by shared interest (i.e. birdwatchers club, sports teams)- whichever it is, there is a common bond. ▪ Population: — is usually larger, a more diverse group of people, often (but not always) within a particular geographic locality. Language like “population at risk” refers to a group of people at high probability of developing illness. ▪ Community Health Nursing: — defined as nursing practice specializing in promoting the health of individuals, families, communities and populations, and promoting an environment that supports health.
