Nurses play an important role
in addressing and evaluating environmental health issues at the individual,
family and community level. In many nursing models, the environment is
considered and evaluated with an egocentric and ecocentric point of view. It is
expected that nurses should have the qualifications defined in this area in
order to fulfill their role in environmental health. To develop nursing
education, practice and research in the area of environmental health and to
form a vision, cooperation with higher education institutions, ministries of
health and professional organizations is required.
In this article, the
environmental health principles that guide nursing education, practice and
research presented by international nursing organizations, the approaches that
can improve the knowledge and skills of nurses in the field of environmental
health and the roles of nurses related to environmental health are examined.
ÖZET
Hemşireler,
birey, aile ve toplum düzeyindeki çevre sağlığı
konularını ele almada ve değerlendirmede önemli bir role sahiptirler. Birçok
hemşirelik modelinde çevre ele alınmış, egosentrik ve ekosentrik bakış açısıyla
değerlendirilmiştir. Hemşirelerin çevre sağlığı alanındaki rollerini yerine
getirmeleri için, bu alanda tanımlanmış yeterliliklere sahip olmaları
beklenmektedir. Çevre sağlığı alanında hemşirelik eğitim, uygulama ve
araştırmalarını geliştirmek ve vizyon oluşturmak için yüksek öğretim kurumu,
sağlık bakanlığı ve mesleki kuruluşlarla işbirliği içinde çalışılması
gerekmektedir.
Bu makalede
uluslararası hemşirelik kuruluşları tarafından sunulan hemşirelik eğitim,
uygulama ve araştırmalarına yön veren çevre sağlığı ilkeleri, çevre sağlığı
alanında hemşirelerin bilgi ve becerilerini geliştirebilecek yaklaşımlar ve
hemşirelerin çevre sağlığı ile ilişkili rolleri incelenmiştir.

environmental health. To develop nursing education, practice and research in
the area of environmental health and to form a vision, cooperation with higher
education institutions, ministries of health and professional organizations is
required.
In this article, the environmental health principles
that guide nursing education, practice and research presented by international
nursing organizations, the approaches that can improve the knowledge and skills
of nurses in the field of environmental health and the roles of nurses related
