Community practice is a stimulating and diverse field of nursing.
Community nurses often work without direct support from other
health professionals and need, not only excellent clinical skills,
but also skills in communication, research and health promotion.
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 individuals, families,
groups, and even whole communities. The contributors make a point
of articulating knowledge that is often taken for granted among
experienced practitioners. Community Nursing Practice is based on
the premise that community nursing is a specialist field of nursing
practice in its own right, and nurses require a specific body of
knowledge to work effectively in a community setting - no matter
what their clinical focus or location. 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 different
population groups, the contribution of research is explored.
Professional skills including program management, advocacy,
teamwork, home visiting and self management are also covered. With
contributions from leading nurse educators and researchers,
Community Nursing Practice is richly illustrated with case studies
and examples from a variety of practice settings. It is an
essential student text and valuable professional reference.
