Course Introduction
Public Health Nursing focuses on the promotion and preservation of community health through the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of interventions for individuals, families, and populations. This course equips students with skills to identify health needs, manage communicable diseases, and address social determinants of health by integrating nursing science with principles of public health. Emphasis is placed on community assessment, program development, health education, epidemiology, policy advocacy, and collaboration with interdisciplinary teams to enhance the well-being of diverse, at-risk populations. Practical components may include fieldwork, case studies, and community outreach, preparing students to be leaders in public health initiatives and primary prevention efforts.
