Interest in differentiating community health nursing from home health nursing has focused on theoretical models, concepts, and examinations of the historical origins and evolution of the roles. Although not usually included in the recent differentiation efforts, school and occupational health nursing traditionally have been considered important subspecialties of community health nursing. Utilizing an approach to technology developed by organizational researchers and focusing not on hardware and equipment, but on the characteristics of the raw materials and techniques employed, this study examined the differences among public health/community health, home health, school health, and occupational health on the three technological dimensions of uncertainty, instability, and variability. Survey data from nurses in the four areas (N = 40) were utilized. Results indicated that home health nursing differed significantly from the other groups on the dimensions of uncertainty and instability.
将社区健康护理与家庭健康护理区分开来的兴趣主要集中在理论模型、概念以及对角色的历史起源和演变的考察上。尽管在最近的区分工作中学校和职业健康护理通常未被纳入，但传统上它们一直被视为社区健康护理的重要亚专业。本研究采用组织研究人员开发的技术方法，重点不在于硬件和设备，而是所使用的原材料和技术的特性，考察了公共卫生/社区健康、家庭健康、学校健康和职业健康在不确定性、不稳定性和可变性这三个技术维度上的差异。利用了来自这四个领域的护士的调查数据（N = 40）。结果表明，家庭健康护理在不确定性和不稳定性维度上与其他组有显著差异。
