As the initial step in the nursing process, assessment of a community leads to the identification of strengths, needs, beliefs, practices, resources, and environmental factors that impact the health of its members. Community/Public Health nurses assess the health status of populations for the purpose of planning to improve population health and decrease health disparities.
In this assignment, you will assess the health of a community from community health and public health perspectives. Most of you will select the county where you live, while a few of you may have an interest in studying a population in a neighboring county or community. You will gather and interpret data from a variety of sources to assess the health needs and assets of community or population, and identify a community diagnosis of a selected health concern. The diagnosis enables you to complete the next assignment, Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
