The text is written for students and clinicians working in community nursing in Australia and New Zealand. The text first provides a broad overview of global and national primary health policies and practices. Health promotion is highlighted throughout and a partnership approach is used to show how community nurses can work effectively with communities. The next part of the text details the processes involved in community nursing and a real-life case study is provided to help the reader translate theory into practice. A wide range of communities are presented with numerous examples of successful health promotion programs and activities. The community groups represented in the text include children, working adults, older people, people with chronic conditions, Indigenous communities and rural populations, immigrants and refugees. A separate chapter covers mental health promotion. Each chapter starts with set of learning objects and end with a summary and critical thinking questions.
