Preface

This book represents the lessons learned and the prog-ress made in more than 100 years of population health nursing in the United States. The year 1993 marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Henry Street Settlement, the acknowledged beginning of modern American population health nursing. Since then, the work of population health nurses and others has led to better health for individuals, families, and population groups. In this book, I have tried to dis- till the wisdom of early pioneers and present-day practitioners to guide and direct future generations toward nursing excellence.

Locally, nationally, and globally, society is in greater need of population health nursing services than at any time since our be- ginning. Although expected longevity has increased significantly in the last century, quality of life has not kept pace for a large por- tion of the world’s population. Previously controlled communi- cable diseases are resurfacing, and new diseases are emerging to threaten the public’s health. Malnutrition is a fact of life for many people. Chronic physical and emotional diseases are taking their toll on the lives of large numbers of people. Substance abuse and violence are rampant, and more and more frequently, environ- mental conditions do not support health. All of these are problems that population health nurses can and do help to solve.

Population health nurses must have the depth and breadth of knowledge that allows them to work independently and in conjunction with clients and others to improve the health of the world’s populations. In part, this improvement occurs through care provided to individuals and families, but it must also occur on a larger scale through care provided to communi- ties and population groups. Population and Community Health Nursing, Sixth Edition, provides population health nurses with the knowledge needed to intervene at these levels. This knowl- edge is theoretically and scientifically sound, yet practical and applicable to society’s changing demands.

Nursing Excellence Through Advocacy Like prior editions, this edition focuses on the central facet of population health nursing—advocating for the health of the public. The theoretical concept of advocacy is introduced in Chapter 1 and is based on qualitative research by the author that examines the process of advocacy as it is performed by population health nurses. Practical application of the concept occurs in each of the subsequent chapters.

Advocacy Then and Advocacy Now The Advocacy Then and Advocacy Now vignettes that open each chapter showcase the efforts of population health nurses,

other health professionals, and members of the lay public to advocate for the health of populations. Some of the Advocacy Now vignettes were contributed by population health nurses and are gratefully acknowledged. Other vignettes celebrate the past and present contributions of population health nurses and others to promoting health and addressing health needs in the United States and the world. We offer our appreciation to these contributors for their heartfelt descriptions of nursing in the population and for their generosity in permitting us to tell their stories. The Advocacy Now vignette that opens Chapter 2 de- scribes the work of Susie Walking Bear Yellowtail, the first Na- tive American registered nurse and an exemplary population health nurse advocate. The other stories, past and present, are equally inspiring for the population health nurses of today and those in the ages to come.

Population and Community Health Nursing, Sixth Edition, provides students with a strong, balanced foundation for pop- ulation health nursing practice. The book is designed to help students first achieve excellence in the classroom through the many features and exercises that accompany the narrative. The additional tools and supplemental information will help stu- dents succeed at applying those concepts in clinical settings with families, communities, and population groups, with the ultimate goal of preparing nurse generalists who will exhibit nursing excellence in any setting.

The underlying intent of this book is to convey to nurs- ing students at the beginning of the 21st century the excite- ment and challenge of providing nursing care to populations. As we begin a new era of population health nursing, I believe that well-educated population health nurses can provide a fo- cal point for resolution of the global health problems presented throughout the book. Early population health nurses changed the face of society; we can be a strong force in molding the so- ciety of the future by striving for nursing excellence through advocacy.

Organization This textbook is designed to present general principles of population health nursing and to assist students to apply those principles in practice. It is organized in five units. The first three units address general concepts and strategies of popula- tion health nursing practice, and the last two examine the ap- plication of those concepts to specific populations, settings, and population health problems.

UNIT I sets the stage for practice by describing popula- tion health nursing and the context in which it occurs. Read- ers are introduced to population health nursing as an area of

v

vi Preface

specialized practice and to its emphasis on advocacy for the health of individuals, families, and population groups. The attributes and features that make population health nursing unique, standards for practice, and typical roles and func- tions of population health nurses are addressed. Then, the concept of populations as recipients of nursing care and the historical and theoretical underpinnings and development of population health nursing are presented followed by a discus- sion of epidemiology as a core content area for population health care.

A unique feature of this book is the consistent use of the Population Health Nursing model to structure the discussion of principles of practice. The model is introduced in Chapter 1. Further Information about other theoretical models that may be useful in population health nursing practice is provided in ancillary materials found at www.nursing.pearsonhighered .com. Other relevant models dealing with epidemiology, family nursing, health promotion, and so on, are included in specific chapters.

The population health nursing (PHN) model is used as the organizing framework for most of the chapters in the book, providing students with a systematic approach to determining factors that influence health and relevant strategies designed to promote health, prevent illness and injury, resolve existing health problems, and restore health in individuals, families, communities, and populations. The consistent use of the PHN model permits students to readily identify commonalities and differences among processes, populations, settings, and health problems.

UNIT II examines influences on population health and ad- dresses environmental, cultural, economic, healthcare delivery system, and global influences on population health. Knowledge of the influence of these factors on population health leads to the application of specific strategies to improve population health addressed in UNIT III. Strategies addressed include po- litical, empowerment, health promotion and health education, case management, and home visiting approaches to population health nursing as a specialized area of practice. Other aspects of population health nursing practice (e.g., community engage- ment, referral, delegation, social marketing, group dynamics, and leadership) are integrated into these and other chapters as appropriate.

UNIT Iv addresses health care provided to special popu- lation groups. In each chapter, students are assisted to apply principles of care to individuals and families, as well as to these populations as aggregates. For example, Chapter 16 emphasizes population health nursing care for children and adolescents as population groups, as well as strategies for improving the health of individual children and adolescents. Similar approaches are taken to other population groups in the unit: families, com- munities, men, women, the elderly, the GLBT population, and people experiencing poverty and homelessness.

UNIT Iv also addresses population health nursing in spe- cialized settings such as the school, work, correctional, and di- saster settings. For example, Chapter 22 examines the role of the

population health nurse in school settings, whereas Chapter 23 addresses employee health in the work setting. In each chapter in the unit, students are guided in the use of the nursing pro- cess and application of the PHN model in the special practice setting. Consideration is given to factors influencing determi- nants of health in each setting, and population health nursing interventions related to health promotion, illness and injury prevention, resolution of existing health problems, and health restoration are discussed.

UNIT v focuses on population health nursing practice re- lated to the control of common population health problems such as communicable diseases, chronic physical and men- tal health conditions, substance abuse, and societal violence. Again, students are assisted to apply the nursing process and the PHN model to identify factors contributing to problems in each of these areas and in designing nursing interventions at each of the four levels of health care. Consideration is given to the care of individuals and families with these problems as well as to resolving common health problems at the population level.

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

Residents of a small community and staff members of local health and social service agencies in a small southern California community were involved in an assessment of community health status and health needs. One of the concerns voiced most often by community members were discrimina- tory practices by absentee landlords in which tenants, many of whom were newly arrived immigrants, were evicted if they complained about needed repairs and safety hazards. Because many of them had arrived in the United States from countries with repressive regimes, the residents were reluc- tant to present their concerns to the local housing authority. The local public health nurse, who was well respected in the community and knowledgeable about many housing code violations, took pictures of violations in the homes of many of her clients. Her pictures depicted stoves situated immediately next to walls without adequate ventilation, stairs in poor repair, stairs without hand- rails, and bars on windows that prevented escape in the event of fire. Armed with her pictures, the Community Collaborative held a town forum to which they invited members of the local housing authority. The pictures graphically reinforced the concerns voiced by community members at the meeting. As a result, the housing authority acted on a number of code violations, which encour- aged community members to report other safety issues. In addition, the efforts of the Collaborative resulted in the creation of a city-funded position of housing ombudsman to assist residents in deal- ing with a variety of housing issues.

Florence Nightingale and Population Health

Florence Nightingale, considered the founder of modern nursing practice, was also a consummate advocate for population health. In her work in the Crimean War, she was a strong advocate for both the use of statistics to provide a population level of health and of environmental sanitation to improve the conditions of the ill and injured (Lewis, 2010). Ms. Nightingale used her influential media con- tacts with The Times of London to force the British government to support women’s involvement in care of the sick and injured soldiers (Simkin, n.d.). Throughout her career, she continued to advocate for social conditions that promoted health and was influential in creating the system of district nurs- ing that was the British version of public health nursing. She also was instrumental in workhouse reform in England (Workhouse, n.d.) and in the establishment of the Indian Sanitary Department to deal with environmental sanitation in India (Bloy, 2010). In a letter to a friend, Nightingale wrote of the need for nursing advocacy, stating “One’s feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions . . . which bring results” (cited in Hallett, 2010, p. 50).

Emphasis on the health of populations as a focus for care arose out of growing evidence that individual-oriented health care has only limited effects on improving the health of the general pub- lic. A population health focus may occur at a variety of levels, and populations may encompass smaller or larger groups of people.

Defining Populations as a Focus for Care Populations are groups of people, who may or may not inter- act with each other, but who have common health concerns and needs. According to the second edition of the American Nurses Association (ANA) Public Health Nursing: Scope and

4 unit 1 Population health nursing: an Overview

Standards of Practice, a population, in the population health nursing context, refers to the residents of a specific geographic area, but the population health nurse’s focus may include spe- cific targeted groups of people with some trait or attribute in common (e.g., a minority group, employees, the elderly) or who “may be at risk for, experience, a disproportionate bur- den of poor health outcomes” (ANA, 2013, p. 3). Three other commonly used, similar, but different terms for these smaller subgroups are neighborhood, community, and aggregate.

A neighborhood is a smaller, frequently more homoge- neous group than a community that involves an interface with others living nearby and some level of identification with those others. Neighborhoods are self-defined, and although they may be constrained by natural or man-made factors, they often do not have specifically demarcated boundaries. For example, a major highway may limit interactions between residents on either side, thus creating separate neighborhoods. Or a neigh- borhood may be defined by a common language or cultural heritage. Thus, non-Hispanic residents of a “Hispanic neigh- borhood” are not usually considered, nor do they consider themselves, part of the neighborhood.
