We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

4. Health: Is state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
being and it is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
(WHO, 1978).
Community: A group of people who share common interests,
who interact with each other, and who function collectively
within a defined social structure to address common
concerns.
5. Examples of some communities:
– Citizens of a town
– Group of farmers
– Prison community
– Tiny village in Appalachia
– Members of Mothers against Drug Driving
(MADD)
– Professional nurses
6. Three Types of Communities
1. Geographic = city, town, neighborhood
2. Common-interest = church, professional organization,
people with mastectomies
3. Community of solution = group of people who come
together to solve a problem that affects all of them.
7. Nursing: encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages,
families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all setting. Nursing includes the
promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled, and dying
people. Advocacy, promotion of a safe environment, research, participation in shaping
health policy and in patient and health systems management, and education are also
key nursing roles (ICN, 2002).
Neighborhood: A smaller, more homogeneous group than a community that involves
interaction and a level of identification with others living near-by.
Population: The general public or society or a collection of communities.
Aggregates: Populations with some common characteristic that frequently have
common concerns, but may not interact with each other to address those concerns.
8. Public Health:
"Science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, promoting
health and efficiency through organized community effort.
Aims:
1. The sanitation of the environment.
2. Control of communicable diseases.
3. The education of individuals in personal hygiene.
4. The organization of medical and nursing services for the early diagnosis
and preventive treatment of diseases.
5. The development of social machinery to ensure everyone a standard of

so organizing these benefits as to enable every citizen to realize his
birthright off birth and longevity” (Charles Edward A. Winslow, 1920)
9. Community Health:
The identification of needs and the protection and improvement of
collective health within a geographically defined area.
Community Health Nursing:
Special field of nursing that combines the skills of nursing, public
health and some phases of social assistance and functions as part of the
total public health program for the promotion of health, the improvement
of the conditions in the social and physical environment, rehabilitation of
illness and disability ( WHO Expert Committee of Nursing )
10. Community Health (CH) vs Public Health (PH)
• CH : “identification of needs and the protection and
improvement of collective health within a geographically
defined area”
• PH : “activities that society undertake to assure the
conditions in which people can be healthy”
11. Community-Based Nursing:
Application of the nurses process in caring for individuals, families and
group were they live, work or go to school or as they move through the
health care system.
Zotti and Stotts (1996) compared Community-Based Nursing and community
health nursing and explained that the goals of the two are different:
Community health nursing emphasizes preservation and protection of
health, while community-based nursing emphasizes managing acute or
chronic conditions.
In community health nursing, the primary client is the community while in
community-based nursing, the primary clients are the individual and the
family.
Services in the community-based nursing are largely direct while in
community health nursing, services are both direct and indirect.
12. Population-focused Nursing:
“Community” or “public” health nursing is population based.
Care may be given to individuals and families, but its purpose is
the improvement of the health of the population as whole.
Population-focused practice:
Focus on the entire population.
Is based on assessment of the populations' health status.
Considers the broad determinants of health.
Emphasizes all levels of prevention.
Intervenes with communities, systems, individuals, and families.
13. The mission of community health nursing:
The primary mission of community health nursing is improving
the overall health of the population through health promotion,
illness prevention, and protection of the public from a wide
variety of biological, behavioral, social and environmental
threats.
"promote the good life" in all of Its physical, social,
psychological, cultural, and economic aspects
(Uosukainen,2001)
15. Concept of Health
Health: holistic state of well-being, including soundness of
mind, body, and spirit
Wellness: health plus the capacity to develop one’s
potential, leading to a fulfilling and productive life
Illness: state of being relatively unhealthy
16.
17. Characteristics of CHN:
1. The client or “unit of care” is the population.
2. The primary obligation is to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of
people or the population as a whole.
3. The processes used by public health nurses include working with the client(s) as
an equal partner.
4. Primary prevention is the priority in selecting appropriate activities.
5. Selecting strategies that create healthy environmental, social, and economic
conditions in which populations may thrive is the focus.
6. There is an obligation to actively reach out to all who might benefit from a
specific activity or service.
7. Optimal use of available resources to assure the best overall improvement in the
health of the population is a key element of the practice.
8. Collaboration with a variety of other professions, organizations, and entities is
the most effective way to promote and protect the health of people.
18. COMPONENT OF COMMUINTY HEALTH PRACTICE
› Community health practice can be best understood by examining six
basic components, which, when combined, encompass its services
and programs. These components are:
1. Promotion of health.
Includes all efforts that seek to move people closer to optimal well-
being or higher levels of wellness .
The goal of health promotion:
Is to enable people to exercise control over their well-being and
ultimately improve their health.

communities.
19. 2. Prevention of health problems.
Prevention of health problems constitutes a major part of community health
practice.
Prevention means: Anticipating and averting problems or discovering them as
early as possible to minimize potential disability and impairment.
Three Levels of prevention:
1- Primary prevention: Action taken prior to the occurrence of health
problems and directed toward avoiding their occurrence. Primary
prevention includes health promotion, health protection, and illness
prevention.
2- Secondary prevention: The early identification and treatment of
existing health problems.
3- Tertiary prevention: Activity aimed at returning the client to the
highest level of function and preventing further deterioration in health.
20. 3. Treatment of disorders.
It focuses on the illness end of the continuum and is the remedial
aspect of community health practice.
This occurs by three methods :
1. Direct service to people with health problem.
2. Indirect service that helps people to obtain treatment.
3. Development programs to correct unhealthy conditions.
4. Rehabilitation.
The fourth component of community health practice, involves efforts to
reduce disability and , as much as possible, restore function.
People whose handicaps are congenital or acquired through illness or
accident e.g:.Stroke, .Heart condition,.Amputation, Mental illness.
