Item Community health nursing practice(2019) Eastlick Kushner, Kaysi; Jackson, MargotToday's health care climate is rapidly changing in response to economic pressures, technological and medical advances, and client participation in health care. As a result, many clients are receiving care in the community rather than in a hospital. There is a growing need to deliver health care where people live, work, and learn (Community Health Nurses of Canada [CHNC],2011). Community health nursing care focuses on health promotion and protection, disease and injury prevention, and restorative and palliative care. The goals of community health nursing are to keep individuals healthy, encourage client participation and choice in care, promote health-enhancing social and physical environments, and provide in-home care for ill or disabled clients.Item Health and wellness(2019) Eastlick Kushner, Kaysi; Jackson, MargotConcepts of health and what determines health have changed significantly since the 1970s. This conceptual change has major implications for Canadian nursing in the twenty-first century because how you as a nurse perceive health—and what determines it—influences the nature and scope of nursing practice. The importance of health to nursing is reflected in nursing models and frameworks, in which health is one of the “metaparadigm” concepts along with person, environment, nursing, and, more recently, social justice (see Chapter 4). In each framework, health concepts are congruent with the assumptions and focus of the model. Moreover, knowledge of health and health determinants is identified as an essential component of nursing education in Canada (Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing [CASN],2015).
