Abstract

Epidemiology plays a crucial role in community nursing by providing a framework to study the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease within specific populations. This abstract explores how community nurses employ epidemiological principles to assess local health needs, identify emerging health trends, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving population health outcomes. By understanding these dynamics, community nurses can better tailor their approaches to address the unique health challenges faced by diverse communities. This abstract highlights the intersection of epidemiology and community nursing as essential for promoting evidence-based practices and enhancing overall public health.
