Abstract

This article explores the integration of epidemiological approaches into community nursing practice to enhance health outcomes. Epidemiology plays a crucial role in identifying health trends; determining risk factors; and guiding interventions to promote community health. By incorporating epidemiological principles into nursing practice; community nurses can better understand the health needs of populations; target interventions effectively; and evaluate the impact of their interventions. This article discusses the application of epidemiological methods such as surveillance; outbreak investigation; and health assessment in community nursing practice. It also highlights the importance of collaboration between nurses; public health professionals; and other stakeholders to address complex health issues and achieve positive health outcomes in communities.
