What is Public Health Nursing?

Public health nursing is a specialized field of nursing focused on promoting and protecting the health of populations. Unlike traditional nursing, which often centers on individual patient care, public health nursing involves working within communities to prevent disease, prolong life, and promote overall health through organized efforts and informed choices.

Public health nurses assess the health needs of entire populations, develop policies, and create programs that target health promotion and disease prevention. Their work includes a wide range of activities such as providing immunizations, educating communities about health risks, and advocating for health equity and access to healthcare services. Public health nursing plays a vital role in addressing societal health issues like infectious diseases, chronic illnesses, and health disparities, making it a critical component of the healthcare system.
