I wholeheartedly agree.....Public health Nursing is a combination of nursing
and public health....as nurses we must give perspectives of nursing when we
define practice and articulate nursing contributions.
We have done some work using Gordon and community assessment. Some
categories fit very well (depending on definitions for community), and
others do not. However, the issues of self concept of community, roles and
relationships in communities related to decision making, the cultural and
value issues of community that influence both official policy decisions and
informal "the way things work here" functioning in a community are important
issues to consider when resources are being distributed. A holisitic
nursing perspective when dealing with population-based statistical analysis
and subsequent policy could be valuable to our public health
multi-disciplinary colleauges.
