DrawerContextCommunity/public health nursing is nursing care that is population-focused
and occurs in non-hospital settings. Numerous nursing theories can provide the structure
for community/public health nursing; however, nursing theories that incorporate
components of the general systems theory frequently provide the framework for the
practice of community/public health nursing. Historically, nurses have made significant
contributions to the field of public health. From providing maternal-child care to poor
women in the late 1800s, to promoting hygiene among school aged children in the early
1900s, to providing environmental and safety care to industrial workers during World War
I, nurses have been instrumental in shaping health policies (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Today,
community/public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care
to address local, national, and international health issues. Show Less Many factors influence
the health of communities and populations, including national policies that focus on health
promotion. Healthy People, a major national health promotion program issued by the U.S.
Surgeon General, identifies major health problems of the nation and sets national goals and
objectives targeting health promotion (Maurer & Smith, 2013). If adopted, activities that
target health promotion can result in disease prevention. Discussion: Community

concerned about a number of health issues that have either affected an increased number of
the residents in the community or show the probability of affecting a larger number of
people in the population. Your organizational leaders have asked different health care
professionals within the organization, including you, to examine the issues from your
perspective, and to submit a report that includes evidence-based ways to address the issues.
You will first need to identify a critical health care issue in your community or state. You
may choose either a public health issue, such as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS),
measles, Lyme disease, asthma, et cetera; or a community health issue, such as uncontrolled
diabetes, congestive heart disease, 30-day readmission, et cetera. Then, look in the Capella
library and on the Internet for statistics and peer-reviewed or professional resources to use
in preparing your report. Discussion: Community HealthREQUIREMENTSFormat this
assessment as a professional report. It may help to look at reports or other documents used
within your organization and to follow that formatting. You must still follow APA guidelines
for in-text citations and references, and include a title page and reference page. Within the
report:Describe one critical health issue in your community or state that has grown larger
or has the potential to become larger. Be sure to include any statistics available on the
health issue. Tip: check your county and/or state health department Web site.Explain the
factors that contribute to this health issue. Consider things such as access to health care
services, economics, culture, attitude, education, health care policies, and so on.Describe any
interventions your community or state has put in place to address the health care issue.
Include information on how long the interventions have been in place, how the community
was made aware of the interventions, and so on.Describe the scope and role of nursing and
public health nursing in the interventions to reduce the health issue.Recommend evidence-
based ways the scope of the interventions could be expanded to increase positive health
outcomes. Think in terms of cost, efficiency and access, effectiveness, and the use of both
conventional and unconventional interventions.ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTSComplete
your assessment using the following specifications:Title page and reference page.Number of
pages: 3–4 (not including the title and reference pages).At least 3 current scholarly or
professional resources.APA format for citations and references.Times New Roman font, 12-

You will first need to identify a critical health care issue in your community or state. You may choose either a public health issue, such as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), measles, Lyme disease, asthma, et cetera; or a community health issue, such as uncontrolled diabetes, congestive heart disease, 30-day readmission, et cetera.
