Community and Public Health Nursing (CPHN) focuses on health issues related to all aspects of the community practice (school, home, visiting nursing services, clinics, hospitals, education and public health administration). A well-researched article provides practical and up-to-date information to help nurses who frequently have to make decisions and solve problems without the hospital’s backup support system. The journal is a forum for community and public health professionals to share their experience and expertise with others in this field.
