Product description

Community as Partner is an invaluable resource for students, practicing community nurses and other health professionals. Up-to-date and rich in detail, this new textbook explores the World Health Organization’s policies and goals for health for all, and discusses and demonstrates how these policies are being implemented at a national and local level in Australia and New Zealand. The partnership approach taken in Community as Partner provides a framework for planning health promotion programs with local communities.A wide range of community groups are introduced and analysed. A variety of examples of actual health promotion programs and activities are provided to show effective partnerships can be forged to promote health and well-being of local communities. Comprehensive and up-to-date: • A broad overview of the theory and policy relating to primary health care from both a global and national level is first presented. • A practical and detailed guide to community nursing processes is then provided to demonstrate how the theory and policy can be turned into practice.A real-life case study is included to show how an actual health promotion program was developed and implemented in one local community. • The final part of the book examines a number of communities that community nurse commonly work with in Australia and New Zealand: children working adults, older people, indigenous people and rural populations, people with chronic conditions and immigrants and refugees. • The latest Australia and New Zealand statistics and references are included throughout the chapter discussion. • Web resources at the end of each chapter provide links to the most up-to-date and easily accessible information required by today’s community nurse.
