China is a country experiencing urgent and rapid urbanisation as it integrates Western ways of knowing and being. These rapid changes pose particular challenges for adolescents negotiating constructs of identity between worldviews. This paper will present a report on observations made on a recent scoping visit by two nurse academics to three Chinese cities. An ecological framework will be used to discuss and critique emerging health issues for adolescents. These were identified as 'early love', 'internet use and abuse', 'physical violence' and 'stealing'. Community health nurses are challenged to make sense of these issues and how best to support adolescents, their families and communities. Contexts of care for community health nurses are also problematic as adolescent education takes priority as a driver for economic growth. Accordingly, this paper will also explore enablers and barriers for this group of community health nurses.
中国是一个在融入西方认知方式和生存方式过程中经历着快速城市化的国家。这些快速变化给在不同世界观之间协商身份建构的青少年带来了特殊挑战。本文将呈现一份关于两位护士学者近期对中国三个城市进行考察访问时所做观察的报告。将运用一个生态框架来讨论和批判青少年中出现的健康问题。这些问题被确定为“早恋”“网络使用与滥用”“身体暴力”和“偷窃”。社区健康护士面临着理解这些问题以及如何最好地支持青少年、他们的家庭和社区的挑战。由于青少年教育作为经济增长的驱动力被置于优先地位，社区健康护士的护理环境也存在问题。因此，本文还将探讨这群社区健康护士面临的促进因素和障碍。
