Community Health Nursing

Before, I was helping my sister in her community health nursing; she wants detailed information about the phases of Community health nursing. I tried searching the internet but I can’t find them. So, I just told her about what I know about that. I t is not detailed but It helped her.

Goal: the community will be self reliant regarding health needs

The Community has 5 phases include:

1. Pre- entry

- Investigation of peace and order of the place

- Community must composed of poor family

- Courtesy call to Mayor and Local Unit(Barangay)

- Only one organization per local unit to avoid conflict between the 2 organizations

2. Entry/Integration

- Students live in their respective foster parent

- Live the lifestyle of your foster family

- Help your family in their work like farming, student is supposed to do what the family are doing

- Attend occasions in the community like wedding, feast, birthday, and other

-Home visit (student can standby in community’s small store because that’s the place where one can mostly find the community people)

3. Core Group formation

- List of responsible people in the community

- Voting of candidates for Group formation who will take over the community’s needs when the student nurse leave the community

- Formation of second group so, second group can take over the community’s need when the first group is not available

4. Strengthening and Maintenance

-Leadership training for the 2 groups

5. Phase out

- Student nurses leave the community because they are already self reliant

- It usually takes from 2 to 3 years
