Community Health nursing Theories:
Nightingale’s Theory of Environment Health Belief Model
o Focus on impact of a person’s environment on their health.
Focus is on preventative care (washing hands, clean
environment)
Health Belief Model

health actions is to avoid getting a disease
Likelihood of taking action is based on:
1. Modifying variables (age, gender, race, economy, education)
2. Perceived severity and susceptibility of getting the disease
3. Perceived benefits vs barriers of taking action
4. Cues to action (advice of doctor, media campaigns)

Community based nursing- is focused on illness care (acute or
chronic conditions) for individuals and families.

health of the community.
