Book description
'Community Nursing Practice' offers a thorough introduction to the role of
the community nurse. Based on principles of primary health care, it
outlines the theory, knowledge and skills required to make a difference to
the health and wellbeing of individual, families, groups, and even whole
communities. Contributors outline the foundations of community
practice, including principles of disease prevention and wellness promotion,
as well as a social model of health. Together with the skills required
for work with the different population groups, the contribution of research
is explored. Professional skills including program management,
advocacy, teamwork, home visiting and self management are also covered.
