Main description:

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

It covers topics such as epidemiology, personal health and hygiene,

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,

procedures, community health management, administration, rehabilitative

nursing, growth and development with statistics
