The Association of Community Health Nursing Educators (ACHNE) has developed a number of documents designed to delineate the scope and function of community/public health nursing (C/PHN) educators, researchers, and practitioners. Consistent with the mission of ACHNE, this position paper entitled Academic Faculty Qualifications for Community/Public Health Nursing has been developed by the Faculty Qualifications Task Force. The shortage of qualified nursing faculty has been well documented. In particular, this shortage has increased the difficulty in having sufficient numbers of faculty who are educationally and experientially qualified to teach in the C/PHN specialty. ACHNE is addressing this concern by setting forth preferred qualifications for faculty to teach C/PHN at both the graduate and undergraduate level. While we recognize that the current faculty shortage may require schools to use faculty to teach in areas in which they do not have appropriate formal preparation, the paper outlines best practices for teaching C/PHN, a goal we urge all schools of nursing to work toward. Task Force members developed an earlier draft of the document in fall 2008, and input was solicited and received from ACHNE members and considered in the final document, which was approved by the ACHNE Executive Board in July 2009.
社区卫生护理教育者协会（ACHNE）制定了多项文件，旨在阐明社区/公共卫生护理（C/PHN）教育者、研究人员和从业者的范围和职能。本名为《社区/公共卫生护理学术教师资质》的立场文件符合 ACHNE 的使命，由教师资质工作组制定。合格护理教师的短缺已得到充分记录。特别是，这种短缺增加了在 C/PHN 专业领域拥有足够数量的教育和经验合格的教师的难度。ACHNE 通过为在研究生和本科阶段教授 C/PHN 的教师设定首选资质来解决这一问题。虽然我们认识到当前的教师短缺可能要求学校使用教师在他们没有适当正式准备的领域进行教学，但该文件概述了教授 C/PHN 的最佳实践，我们敦促所有护理学校努力实现这一目标。工作组成员在 2008 年秋季制定了该文件的早期草案，并征求了 ACHNE 成员的意见，并在最终文件中进行了审议，该文件于 2009 年 7 月获得 ACHNE 执行委员会的批准。
