USDCommunity and primary health care nursing is a rapidly growing field. Founded on the social model of health, the primary health care approach explores how social, environmental, economic and political factors affect the health of the individual and communities, and the role of nurses and other health care practitioners in facilitating an equitable and collaborative health care process. An Introduction to Community and Primary Health Care provides an engaging introduction to the theory, skills and range of professional roles in community settings. This edition has been fully revised to include current research and practice, and includes three new chapters on health informatics, refugee health nursing and developing a career in primary health care. Written by an expert team, this highly readable text is an indispensable resource for any reader undertaking a course in community and primary health care and developing their career in the community.
- Introduces readers to a wide range of community and primary health care roles and career and practice possibilities
- In each chapter, case studies illustrate the application of theory within community health care settings and encourage students to reflect on their own practice, and reflective and critical thinking questions consolidate understanding of key topics
- The comprehensive companion website for instructors includes a suite of questions and links to useful resources
