This study explores the preparation and role of the public health nurse (PHN) across European Union (EU) countries (Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) and Canadian provinces (Alberta, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island).
A literature review including relevant peer reviewed articles from 2000 on, in conjunction, with critical debate was undertaken. The results were considered in relation to the three essential areas of PHN practice, outlined in the World Health Organization (Moving on from Munich: A reference guide to the implementation of the declaration on nurses and midwives: A force for health, 2001b) recommendations, family oriented care, public health action, and policy making.
The major challenge the review revealed across a variety of international education and practice environments was the lack of consistent preparation for and engagement with leadership and policy making in practice.
本研究探讨了欧盟国家（芬兰、瑞典和英国）和加拿大省份（艾伯塔省、新不伦瑞克省和爱德华王子岛）的公共卫生护士（PHN）的准备情况和角色。
进行了文献综述，包括 2000 年以来的相关同行评议文章，并结合批判性辩论。结果根据世界卫生组织（《从慕尼黑出发：护士和助产士宣言实施指南》，2001b）建议中概述的 PHN 实践的三个基本领域，即家庭导向护理、公共卫生行动和政策制定进行了考虑。
审查揭示了在各种国际教育和实践环境中存在的主要挑战是，在实践中缺乏对领导和政策制定的一致性准备和参与。
