Public health nursing (PHN) practice is population-focused and requires unique knowledge, competencies, and skills. Early public health nursing roles extended beyond sick care to encompass advocacy, community organizing, health education, and political and social reform. Likewise, contemporary public health nurses practice in collaboration with agencies and community members. The purpose of this article is to examine evolving PHN roles that address complex, multi-causal, community problems. A brief background and history of this role introduces an explanation of the community participation health promotion model. A community-based participatory research project, Youth Substance Use Prevention in a Rural County provides an exemplar for description of evolving PHN roles focused on community health promotion and prevention. Also included is discussion about specific competencies for PHNs in community participatory health promoting roles and the contemporary PHN role.
公共卫生护理（PHN）实践以人群为重点，需要独特的知识、能力和技能。早期的公共卫生护理角色超越了疾病护理，涵盖了倡导、社区组织、健康教育以及政治和社会改革。同样，当代公共卫生护士与机构和社区成员合作开展实践。本文的目的是探讨不断演变的公共卫生护理角色，这些角色旨在解决复杂的、多因素的社区问题。对这一角色的简要背景和历史介绍了社区参与健康促进模式的解释。一个基于社区的参与性研究项目，即农村县青少年物质使用预防项目，为描述以社区健康促进和预防为重点的不断演变的公共卫生护理角色提供了一个范例。还包括对公共卫生护士在社区参与性健康促进角色和当代公共卫生护理角色方面的特定能力的讨论。
