Community as Partner: Theory and Practice in Nursing 6th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Elizabeth T. Anderson and Judith McFarlane examine the contemporary public health nursing role as a 'hands on' care giver combined with the public health role of community detective and epidemiologist who promotes a healthy, effective partnership with the community.
It presents a global focus that is appropriate for our shrinking world and includes disaster and community health threats as well as concepts and goals addressed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The book is used as a graduate level text that focuses on community assessment and development of community health programs that address community health needs.
It is also used as an adjunct text in BSN and BSN-completion programs to cover the concepts of community demographics, community assessment, analysis and advocacy. According to the editors, the audience for this book includes undergraduate nursing students, RN to BSN and RN to MSN students, graduate students, and practicing nurses. It also can be used in distance education and virtual learning with the Internet and other online resources. The chapters are written by many contributing authors who are experts in their content areas.
This book of 21 chapters is divided into three parts: Essential Elements for Healthy Partnerships; The Process; and Practicing with Diverse Communities. All chapters have been updated and two new chapters have been added: one on globalization and one on rural health. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and ends with summary and critical thinking questions.
The Take Note boxes in each chapter highlight key chapter concepts. Reading lists are also included for added information on chapter subject matter. Ancillary resources can be found online for students and instructors. A particular strength is the use of the nursing process and the community-as-partner model in discussions and interpretations of community issues.
