Public health realities in the United States indicate that unsafe physical surroundings, oppressive social arrangements, economic impoverishment, and political disenfranchisement threaten the safety and well-being of countless aggregates. To affect change in health-damaging conditions, nurses are urged to join with vulnerable groups, working together to expose oppressive situations and take action. As a guide for such emancipatory practice, the use of critical theories as the conceptual basis for community health nursing is advocated.
美国的公共卫生现实表明，不安全的物质环境、压迫性的社会安排、经济贫困和政治剥夺权利威胁着无数群体的安全和福祉。为了改变有害健康的状况，敦促护士与弱势群体联合起来，共同努力揭露压迫性状况并采取行动。作为这种解放性实践的指南，提倡使用批判理论作为社区健康护理的概念基础。
