Addressing health inequities and the social determinants of health for all people of the world is a primary goal of the World Health Organization. This article describes how a "Connecting Communities educational program" enabled nurse leaders from academic institutions from different sides of the globe to develop a reciprocal relationship of mutual interest around the topics of the nursing role in population health and care delivery. Grant funding resulted in the sharing of knowledge, expertise, and experiences directed toward encouraging the development of nurses as global citizens, with a broader view on what influences health and well-being. This initiative demonstrates how nurses can contribute to the improvement of world health and address the social determinants of health while practicing locally but thinking and contributing globally.
解决全球所有人的健康不平等问题以及健康的社会决定因素是世界卫生组织的首要目标。本文描述了一个“连接社区教育项目”如何使来自全球不同地区学术机构的护士领导者围绕人口健康护理角色和护理服务提供等主题，建立起一种互利的互惠关系。资助资金促成了知识、专业技能和经验的分享，旨在鼓励护士成长为全球公民，使其对影响健康和福祉的因素有更广阔的视野。该倡议展示了护士如何在本地执业的同时，从全球角度思考并做出贡献，从而为改善世界健康状况和解决健康的社会决定因素贡献力量。
