1. Community Health Nursing Theories
- Nightingale's Theory of Environment
- Health Belief Model
- Likelihood of Taking Action Factors: *Nightingale's Theory of Environment*:
Focuses on impact of a person's environment on their health. Focus in on
preventative care (washing hands, clean environment).
*Health Belief Model*: Assumes a persons primary motivation in taking positive
health actions is to avoid getting a disease.
*Likelihood of taking action is based on*:
1. Modifying variables (age, gender, race, economy, education)
2. Perceived severity and susceptibility of getting the disease
3. Perceived benefits vs. barriers of taking action
4. Cues to action (i.e. advice of doctor, media campaign)
2. Community-Based Nursing versus Community-Oriented Nursing: The
community or population is the "client" in community health nursing.
*Community-Based Nursing*: Focused on ILLNESS care (acute or chronic
conditions) for individuals and families.
- Examples: Home Health nurse doing wound care, School nurse
administering epi-pen.
, ATI Proctored Exam: Community Health (Public Health)
*Community-Oriented Nursing: Focused on improving the collective health of the
community.
- Examples: Health education and promotion, disease prevention activities. No
illness care! Community-oriented nursing = public health nursing.
3. Community Health Nursing versus Public Health Nursing: *Community
Health Nursing*: Delivers health care services to individuals, families, and groups.
Includes community-based nursing (illness care for individuals and families) AND
community-oriented nursing (community focused care, with an emphasis on
education and disease prevention).
*Public Health Nursing*: Disease prevention and health promotion of communities
and populations. They re not providing direct care to individuals! Public health
nursing = community-oriented nursing.
4. Four Ethical Principles in Community Health Nursing
- Respect for Autonomy
- Non-Maleficence
- Beneficence
- Distributive Justice: *Respect for Authority*: Respect a patient's right to self-
determination.
*Non-Maleficence*: Do no harm
*Beneficence*: Do what is best (i.e. maximize benefits)
*Distributive Justice*: Fair allocation of resources in community.
