Critical caring has been proposed as a mid-range theory to guide public health nursing. One of its carative health promoting processes, contributing to the creation of supportive and sustainable physical, social, political, and economic environments, is particularly suited to enacting Nightingale's legacy of political action as an expression of caring. Increasing evidence supports the link between broad societal influences on health inequities. Relative and absolute poverty are significant influences on health and contribute significantly to differential health statuses of populations within and between countries. Nurses, who practice at the intersection of public policy and personal lives, are, therefore, ideally situated and morally obligated to include political advocacy and efforts to influence health public policy in their practice. The health of the public and the future of the profession may depend on it.
批判性关怀已被提出作为一种中程理论，以指导公共卫生护理。其促进健康的关怀过程之一，有助于创造支持性和可持续的物理、社会、政治和经济环境，特别适合将南丁格尔的政治行动遗产作为关怀的一种表达来实施。越来越多的证据支持广泛的社会影响与健康不平等之间的联系。相对贫困和绝对贫困对健康有重大影响，并对国家内部和国家之间人群的不同健康状况有重大贡献。因此，在公共政策和个人生活交叉点上执业的护士，处于理想的位置，并且在道德上有义务在其执业中纳入政治倡导以及影响卫生公共政策的努力。公众的健康和该职业的未来可能取决于此。
