Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living; it is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, and physical capacities”. — World Health Organization (1986) Definition of Community … “a collection of people who interact with one another and whose common interests or characteristics form the basis for a sense of unity and belonging”. —Rector (2017) Community Health Nursing Concepts Community health nursing is a vital field of nursing that focuses on promoting and improving the overall health and well-being of communities.

Community PRECEDE stands for "Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Constructs health nurses can apply these models to guide their assessment, planning, and in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation," while PROCEED stands for intervention efforts, ensuring that their work is grounded in evidence-based "Policy, Regulatory, and Organizational Constructs in Educational and practices.

They provide comprehensive care, including health screenings, first aid, and health education, while also advocating for the needs of students and their families. 2 Occupational Health Nursing Occupational health nurses focus on the health and safety of employees in the workplace.

They provide counseling, crisis intervention, and case management services, while also addressing the social determinants of mental health and advocating for improved access to mental health resources. Roles and Responsibilities Population-Focused Assessment Community health nurses conduct comprehensive assessments to identify the unique health needs and assets of the communities they serve. This involves gathering data on social, environmental, and economic factors that influence health outcomes. Health Promotion and Prevention Community health nurses design and implement evidence-based interventions to promote healthy behaviors and prevent the onset of illness and injury. This may include health education programs, immunization clinics, and collaboration with community partners. Advocacy and Collaboration Community health nurses advocate for the rights and needs of underserved populations, and collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, including healthcare providers, social services, and community organizations, to address the social determinants of health. Program Evaluation Community health nurses continuously evaluate the effectiveness of their interventions and programs, and use this data to inform future planning and improve the overall health and well-being of the community. Emerging Trends in Community Health Nursing Telehealth The use of technology, such as videoconferencing and remote monitoring, to deliver healthcare services and support to patients in their homes and communities. Social Determinants of Health Increased emphasis on addressing the social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health outcomes, and collaborating with community partners to implement holistic interventions. Population Health Management The utilization of data-driven strategies to identify and address the health needs of specific populations, with a focus on preventive care and equitable access to healthcare services. The Future of Community Health Nursing Expanding Roles Interdisciplinary Collaboration Advocacy and Policy As the healthcare landscape evolves, community health Community health nurses will amplify their voices as nurses will continue to take on increasingly diverse Community health nurses will play a pivotal role in advocates, working to influence health policies and and specialized roles, addressing emerging population fostering deeper collaboration between healthcare address the social, economic, and environmental health needs and leveraging new technologies to deliver professionals, social services, and community factors that contribute to health disparities within their care. organizations, ensuring a comprehensive, holistic communities. approach to improving health outcomes. Prevention Versus Cure Cure o Spending additional dollars for cure in the form of health care services does little to improve the health of a population. Prevention o Spending money on prevention does a great deal to improve health and decrease the dollars spent on cure. —Getzen (2013) THANK YOU FOR LISTENING FUTURE NURSES!
