Introduction

This issue of the Journal of Community and Public Health Nursing includes seven Research Articles on a different topics [1-7], as well as three Reviews and one Editorial paper deal with the concept of "mainstreaming Kenya-nursing process” [8], palliative care approaches common within the United States [9], management of dental anxiety in adults [10] and decision making and ethical issues in dementia [11].

In a retrospective study in the United States, deValpine et al. [1] investigated prenatal care and obstetrical delivery options among women living in rural areas. In a mixed methods research (the combined use of qualitative and quantitative methods) in low-income African American mothers in the United States, Zekeri et al. [2] found that 51.5% of the mothers and their children lived in food insecure households, and food insecurity was significantly associated with selfrated health. Amick et al. [3] reported that a statewide education program based on the Guided Infant Feeding Techniques improved knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy about breastfeeding in maternity staff. In a cross-sectional study, Mahfouz et al. [4] examined food security, eating behavior and awareness of Lebanese women living in a low socioeconomic area. In another cross-sectional study, D’Emilia et al. [5] examined the associations between insurance status, individual factors, and utilization of primary care services among an underserved population in the United States. In a descriptive study, Ahoya et al. [6] reported that nurses had moderate levels of political efficacy and political participation, and there was a significant relationship between these two variables. Finally, Eshbaugh and Stratton [7] examined knowledge about Alzheimer's disease in family caregivers in an online study.

All paper submissions are much appreciated and will make a substantial contribution to the advancement and growth of the Journal of Community and Public Health Nursing. Best wishes and thank you in advance for your contributions to the journal.
