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

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,
