Community health: an evolutionary concept analysis

Abstract

The definition derived from the concept analysis of community health makes explicit the importance of community-based participatory action in local health improvement processes. Identification of the attributes of community health will enhance communication across disciplines involved in community health practice, research and education.

Is an advance care planning model feasible in community palliative care? A multi‐site action research approach

“…Second, to effectively develop ACP as a health promoting practice, community palliative care services need to engage with local communities, including communities of practice.

The strategies initiated by the services were consistent with a health promoting palliative care approach (Rosenberg & Yates 2010, Seymour et al.…”

Turning Mental Health Nursing Problems into Quality or Research Projects

“…Concept analysis is a research strategy involving categorisation and discrimination among terms through which a set of attributes or characteristics essential to the meaning of the terms are clearly identified (Baisch, 2009;Xyrichis & Ream, 2008).

“…Conceptual analysis is an indepth, critical, exploration of the meaning of specific ideas. To further clarify concepts and relationships among them, a conceptual analysis could be used in the early research phases (Baisch, 2009;Xyrichis & Ream, 2008). The following concepts could be fruitfully analysed: rights, responsibilities, obligations, justice, safety, power, and authority.…”

Assessing the Educational and Support Needs of Nursing Staff Serving Older Adults

“…Nursing researchers have also found that utilizing a collaborative approach better ensures that a unique definition of “community health” will be established locally and democratically (Baisch, 2009). While we applied principles of conducting research, we were not seeking to fill a gap in the literature by asking specific research questions.…”
