Recognition that the environment is a determinant of health is deeply rooted in the heritage of nursing. Environmental hazards and their effects on health rarely have simple solutions that can be managed by one discipline alone. Environmental health issues are complex in nature and the science is developing rapidly. Primary prevention strategies often involve the participation of professionals from fields other than nursing, and interdisciplinary, collaborative efforts are usually required. This article describes learning experiences about local environmental health issues, several of which were designed to initiate and foster collaboration between baccalaureate nursing students and graduate students in public health.
认识到环境是健康的一个决定因素，这深深植根于护理的传统之中。环境危害及其对健康的影响很少有能仅由一个学科来处理的简单解决方案。环境卫生问题本质上很复杂，而且相关科学正在迅速发展。一级预防策略通常需要护理领域以外其他专业人员的参与，通常还需要跨学科的协作努力。本文描述了关于当地环境卫生问题的学习经历，其中一些经历旨在启动并促进护理学本科学生与公共卫生专业研究生之间的合作。
