...History of Community Health Nursing and Health Promotion/Risk Reduction Cumberland University History of Community Health Nursing and Health Promotion/Risk Reduction For this assignment, I have chosen two articles from the American Journal of Nursing written in October of 1900. Article 1 The first article obtained is titled Work for Nurses in Play-Schools written by Mary Boyle O’Reilly for the first edition of American Journal of Nursing (O'Reilly, 1900). The article discusses how district nurses were trying to impress upon patients in the area that prevention and sanitation were the keys to battling disease. The district nurses were finding that some people were not interested at all in changing the way in which they did things and that those that did show interest often fell back into old ways soon after the nurses giving instruction were gone. Around this same time, the newly formed Guild of Saint Elizabeth was formed and as part of their work of a social settlement, they created play-school which was where children could go during the months of July and August in an attempt to keep these children from the influences of the streets. The nursing corps associated with The Boston City Hospital decided to go to the play-school and instruct the children on basic nursing, sanitation, and disease prevention in hopes of instilling these principles in the children who had yet to have instilled in them the ways of their parents. This proved to be a very popular course at...

...History of Community Nursing Matrix As long as people have existed, they needed to look after their health. As a result, the healthcare industry was born. Nurses were a vital part of that growing community. This paper will approach three different historical periods in the United States, discuss the nurse’s role in the community in regards to the major health issues of that period, how they partnered with the community to create new programs and finish with an intellectual discussion on how Jean Watson’s theory of Caring can be applied to the nurse’s role for each historical period. Period 1-- 1800s: In the early year of American settlement , female head of the family provided the care for sick in the family (Stanhope, Lancaster, 2008). In the early 1800s increased number of urban residents have changed the traditional caring system (Stanhope, Lancaster, 2008). After the American Revolution, increased urbanization and beginning industrialization contributed to epidemical diseases (Stanhope, Lancaster, 2008). In 1800, the first Marine Hospital was opened in Norfolk, Virginia (). In early 1800s, nursing care mainly focused on moral issues than illness intervention (Stanhope, Lancaster, 2008). “The public was interested in limiting disease among all classes of people for religious reasons as a form of charity” (Stanhope, Lancaster, 2008, p. 27). The Ladies’s Benevolent Society of Charleston, South Carolina for the sick and poor provided charitable assistance...

...Community Evaluation Community Evaluation The purpose of this essay is to compare the similarities and differences between five different communities. Represented are Bland County, Virginia, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Dunedin, Florida, Rio Vista, California, and Washington, D.C. The definition of community according to Bartle (2012) is, “The concept of community is a set of interactions, human behaviors that have meaning and expectations between its members. Not just action, but actions based on shared expectations, values, beliefs and meanings between individuals.” A community represents more than the boundaries of cities and towns; the community includes day- to-day activities of those within the boundaries. Similarities When compared the five communities have many similarities. Bland and DC share the Appalachian Mountain Range; Cedar Rapids is in the Midwest, and both Rio Vista and Dunedin are on opposite coasts of the United States. Natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes plague these communities. Four of the five communities provide work opportunities for its citizens through industry or tourism. Each of these communities shares a commonality of outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, swimming, and sightseeing.

...These days many people want to feel like they belong to a community but many are pressured to accept their roles in society. The informative and narrative essay “Can You Tell the Truth in a Small Town” by Kathleen Norris focuses on a small town community in the Dakotas in order to explain a bigger picture on how American society does not want to highlight failures and mistakes from the past. Norris conveys many individuals apart of this community have been trying to remember things the way they want to than how things actually are in reality, and therefore the community masks the truth and hides their history. On the other side of the spectrum, the informative and revealing essay “A Secret Society of the Starving” by Mim Udovitch validates the way individuals, especially young girls, engage themselves in dangerous activities and behaviors because of the familiar environment they have with others who can relate to them. Specifically in Udovitch’s essay, she targets a population of young girls who have an eating disorder and seek an emotional understanding within others on websites that promote an eating disorder community by sharing their experiences. Norris and Udovitch present different issues regarding communities in their essays, but they both explain that acceptance in American society affects how people cope with their problems, how they tell the truth, and what crucial details of their stories they leave out for others to hear. In both essays, females are pushed to follow...

...Our heritage is a big part of what makes a country unique. Heritage enhances our quality of life and sense of place. It reflects the distinct expressions and aspirations of our country and its culture. Heritage is not just about the past. It is about the places, spaces and stories that we should value today and save and preserve them for tomorrow. Heritage places and heritage buildings are fundamental to our sense of history community and identity. Communities across Canada, the United States, and abroad have been capitalizing on their distinctive heritage assests by revitalizing their business cores and reclaiming them as the commercial and social hubs of the community. Besides economic value, heritage resources have intrinsic value in the information they contain about the past. They can teach us great deal. Who lived here? What happened here? Buildings, landscapes and archaeological sites can give us a unique insight into our past- knowledge that sometimes cannot be obtained any other way. Our heritage helps us make sense of our rapidly changing world and guides us into the future. Well-maintained historic buildings, streetscapes and landscapes contribute to safe and comfortable neighborhoods and foster local identity and pride. Old buildings embody energy and materials. Reusing older buildings saves the destruction of trees, saves the energy used to transport them to mills and create new construction materials, and saves more green space from development. Heritage conservation...

...Literature and the Community, How Similar They Are ENG 125: Introduction to Literature Heather AltfeldFisher July 16, 2010 Abstract Often times, art is a reflection of life as we know it. Artists are often inspired to create based on their surroundings, and life experiences. Literature can take people to places in which they never thought they could be a part of. This paper will briefly review two works of literature. We will then review how the works reflect the communities in which the stories are based on. The Lessons of Life The Lesson by Toni Cade Bambara is a novella set in the projects of New York City in the 1970’s. Sylvia is a street wise kid living in the projects being mentored by a well educated woman named Miss Moore. Sylvia seems to be proud, and smart and is acutely aware of the surrounding in which she lives in. Miss Moore is considered to be a well educated woman in the neighborhood.

...In decades past, neighborhoods were intricate, secure webs of community. Each member of this community played a role for the better of the society. Community played a massive role in people’s lives, however, our society has changed. Neighbors no longer know each other, and pass each other on the street without exchanging words. In the given passage, “The Common Life”, Scott Sanders argues that humans of the twenty-first century have stopped realizing that human society is a dependent upon community and no longer realize that we each have a social responsibility. Some argue that this is a positive change, because it promotes individualism and a sense of liberation. However, this eventually leads to unaccountable and irresponsible citizens. In order for the human race to thrive and progress towards a superior society, we must accept our social responsibilities and support each other through community....

...Windshield Survey Paper Community Health Nursing Excelsior College Professor Debra Masterson November 04, 2014 This windshield survey was created using my community in Ocala which is located in Marion county Florida. The city itself has a population of over 319,000 according to the 2013 census and I am sure it has grown since then as the city continues to grow and development almost daily. With this population it is the 45th most populated city in Florida. Ocala is well know the horse capital of the world. It was given that name because the first thoroughbred horse farm in Florida was developed in 1943 by Carl G. Rose. One of his horses won a large race making the first thoroughbred to be raised in Florida right out of Ocala. The community itself is well populated and is often considered to be congested at times with due to the minimum about of main roads in the small city.

Within the city of Ocala the homes are built in very close geographic locations. Some of the homes have the...
