In the initial development, the primary purpose of the USAF aerospace nursing program was to prepare the nurse to function as an integral member of the aerospace medical team in support of bioastronautics, occupational health and aerospace medical research programs. The absence of an expanded manned space program has required the aerospace nurse to redirect her energies toward the immediate needs of the aerospace medicine program. Many of the aerospace nurse's more specific functions are dependent upon the mission objectives of the command and military base to which she is assigned. Aerospace nursing reflects a concern for the total health needs of the Air Force community and the application of a holistic approach. It includes all aspects of health and all environmental hazards which alter health. The development of aerospace nursing paves the way for this expanded view of nursing practice.
在最初的发展阶段，美国空军航空航天护理项目的主要目的是让护士做好准备，成为航空航天医疗团队的重要一员，以支持生物航天学、职业健康和航空航天医学研究项目。由于缺乏扩大的载人航天计划，航空航天护士不得不将精力重新导向航空航天医学项目的紧迫需求。航空航天护士的许多更具体的职能取决于她所分配到的司令部和军事基地的任务目标。航空航天护理体现了对空军群体整体健康需求的关注以及整体护理方法的应用。它涵盖了健康的所有方面以及所有会改变健康状况的环境危害。航空航天护理的发展为这种对护理实践的扩展视野铺平了道路。
