Community Nursing
As the definition of health is defined as a concept that represents a higher level of physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, comprehensive health care not only for patients with diseases but also for the healthy population is emerging as an important role of nursing. Community nursing is an academic field that provides diverse, continuous, and comprehensive nursing care for the maintenance and promotion of health, disease prevention, early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of individuals, families, groups, and organizations receiving nursing care, and the community. By understanding theories related to community nursing and the local health care system, nursing students learn planning abilities and qualifications to assess local health problems by community business unit and establish, implement, and evaluate local nursing plans. In addition, the course focuses on primary health care such as community nursing projects, health promotion projects, population and maternal and child health, management of acute and chronic diseases, environmental hygiene, health education, and occupational health, and focuses on families, communities, groups with specific health needs, schools, and industrial plants. In order to develop business performance capabilities such as disease prevention, health maintenance, and health promotion, practical training is provided at public health centers, home care centers, and industrial sites that are public health care providers.
