Community Health Nursing Theories
- Nightingale's Theory of Environment
- Health Belief Model
- Likelihood of Taking Action Factors Ans- *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.
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)
Community-Based Nursing versus Community-Oriented Nursing Ans- 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.
*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.
, Community Health Nursing versus Public Health Nursing Ans- *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.
Four Ethical Principles in Community Health Nursing
- Respect for Autonomy
- Non-Maleficence
- Beneficence
- Distributive Justice Ans- *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.
Epidemiology and Components of Epidemiology Triangle Ans- *Epidemiology*: Study of spread,
transmission, and incidence of disease/injury.
*Components of Epidemiology Triangle*
- *Agent*: What is causing the disease (i.e. bacteria, toxin, noise)
- *Host*: Human/animal being affected by the disease
- *Environment*: Physical environment (water/food supply, geography). Social environment (access to
health care, work conditions, poverty).
Incidence vs. Prevalence Ans- *Incidence*: Number of NEW case of disease/injury in a population during
a specified period of time.
