Nurses are often the first members of the healthcare system to whom the public turns when environmental health hazards cause concern. Yet most nursing programs include scant formal environmental health content. This article describes a project that integrated significant environmental health content into an undergraduate community health nursing course. The revised course included additional environmental health classroom content and field experiences. Details are provided regarding changes to classroom content, revision of written assignments to include environmental health issues, planning and implementation of nursing student field experiences with environmental health professionals, and evaluations of the revised course. The article concludes with three recommendations to guide other schools of nursing, wishing to integrate environmental health into their curricula.
当环境卫生危害引发公众担忧时，护士往往是公众求助的医疗保健系统中的首批人员。然而，大多数护理课程中正式的环境卫生内容很少。本文描述了一个将重要环境卫生内容融入本科社区健康护理课程的项目。修订后的课程增加了环境卫生课堂内容和实地经验。文中提供了课堂内容变化、书面作业修订以纳入环境卫生问题、护理专业学生与环境卫生专业人员实地经验的规划与实施，以及修订后课程评估等方面的详细信息。文章最后提出了三项建议，以指导其他希望将环境卫生纳入其课程的护理学院。
