Basic Concepts Of Community Health Nursing

This book gives a sound foundation in community and public health nursing


concepts along with interventions for individuals, families and community


workers. Throughout the book, health promotion and disease prevention


concepts are integrated into the multifaceted role of population-focused,


community oriented nursing practice


Emphasis is laid on to implement the concept of partnership collaboration


and empowerment to attain the goal of health for all so that the most


vulnerable and marginalized sections of the society along with children and


women can be protected from epidemics


This book explains how nursing involves a focus of four components i.e. the


client, the environment, the health and the nursing. Variations in nursing


care depend upon the fact whether it is provided in the acute care setting or


community- based setting


It covers topics such as epidemiology, personal health and hygiene,


community health nursing process, family and child health services, school


health services, occupational health services, etc. It also provides


information on various national health problems, programmes, policies,


procedures, community health management, administration, rehabilitative


nursing, growth and development with statistics
