Course Introduction
Community Health Nursing introduces students to the principles and practices of nursing as they apply to the health needs of communities and populations. The course emphasizes the role of nurses in promoting health, preventing disease, and protecting the well-being of individuals, families, and groups within a community context. Students learn about environmental, social, cultural, and economic factors that influence community health, as well as strategies for health education, screening, advocacy, and program planning. Through both theoretical learning and practical experience, students develop skills in assessment, intervention, and evaluation to address public health challenges and work collaboratively with other professionals and community members to improve population health outcomes.
