Our purpose in examining the social foundation of occupational health nursing is to better determine the future direction of the profession and its impact on a diverse workforce. Part of what makes up the profession of occupational health nursing is found in its definition: a process that is determined by the interaction between the occupational health nurse, worker, work and workplace; its goal is to assist the worker to achieve his or her optimal level of functioning, primarily through health education, health promotion, prevention of disease and injury and crisis intervention. Much of occupational health nursing is also based on its history and the traditions that have been established. A true understanding, then, of what occupational health nursing's future can be comes from a solid understanding of the history of the profession. As social trends in the past affected the profession, so will they in the future.
我们研究职业健康护理社会基础的目的是更好地确定该职业的未来方向及其对多样化劳动力的影响。职业健康护理职业的部分构成要素可在其定义中找到：这是一个由职业健康护士、工人、工作及工作场所之间的相互作用所决定的过程；其目标是主要通过健康教育、健康促进、疾病与伤害预防以及危机干预，协助工人达到其最佳功能水平。职业健康护理的很多方面也基于其历史以及已确立的传统。因此，对职业健康护理未来发展的真正理解源自对该职业历史的扎实了解。正如过去的社会趋势影响了该职业，未来它们也会如此。
