Recent national initiatives in nursing and public health have emphasized the need for a robust public health nursing (PHN) workforce. In this article, we analyze the extent to which recent national enumeration surveys base their counts of this workforce on the definitions, scope, and standards for practice and practice competencies of the PHN nursing specialty. By and large, enumeration surveys continue to rely on practice setting to define the PHN workforce, which is an insufficient approach for meeting the goals of major nursing and public health initiatives. We make recommendations for the development of new standards for PHN enumeration to strengthen the broader public health infrastructure and evaluate PHN contributions to population-level outcomes.

最近在护理和公共卫生方面的国家倡议强调了需要一支强大的公共卫生护士（PHN）队伍。在本文中，我们分析了最近的全国人口普查调查在多大程度上根据 PHN 护理专业的定义、范围、实践标准和实践能力来统计这支队伍。总的来说，人口普查调查仍然依赖于实践环境来定义 PHN 劳动力，这是一种不足以实现主要护理和公共卫生倡议目标的方法。我们为 PHN 人口普查制定新的标准提出建议，以加强更广泛的公共卫生基础设施，并评估 PHN 对人口水平结果的贡献。（2022 年；112（S3）：S292-S297。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306782）。
