Principles of environmental health relevant today were taught by Florence Nightingale and helped shape early nursing practice. Since then, nursing's emphasis shifted, but is now returning to its historical roots in environmental health. A broad understanding of environmental health is essential for all health professionals. Occupational health nurses are in a unique position to apply environmental health concepts in their practices. Occupational health nurses should be familiar with models that integrate environmental health, pollution prevention, and worker safety and health to develop strategies within their own worksites and industries, and expand their role in environmental health.
当今相关的环境卫生原则是由弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔传授的，并有助于塑造早期的护理实践。从那时起，护理的重点发生了转变，但现在正回归到其在环境卫生方面的历史根源。对所有卫生专业人员来说，对环境卫生有广泛的理解至关重要。职业健康护士处于一个独特的位置，可以在其实践中应用环境卫生概念。职业健康护士应熟悉整合环境卫生、污染预防以及工人安全与健康的模式，以便在自己的工作场所和行业内制定策略，并扩大他们在环境卫生方面的作用。
