The Short Textbook of Community Health Nursing (2 Volumes)

The Short Textbook of Community Health Nursing (2 Volumes) is a comprehensive and well-structured guide designed to meet the academic and practical needs of nursing students, educators, and community health professionals. Published by Jaypee Medical Publishers, this second edition reprint, presented in two volumes, provides an in-depth understanding of the principles and practices of community health nursing in the Indian healthcare context.

The book offers extensive coverage of topics such as epidemiology, health promotion, disease prevention, maternal and child health, environmental sanitation, health education, and national health programs. It bridges the gap between theory and practice by integrating real-life community scenarios, culturally relevant examples, and field-based experiences, making it highly relevant to the rural and urban healthcare delivery systems.

Special attention is given to the nurse’s role in community health assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care across different settings. The content is supported with illustrations, charts, and tables for better conceptual clarity, and aligns with the latest syllabus requirements of nursing councils and universities.

Ideal for undergraduate and diploma-level nursing students, The Short Textbook of Community Health Nursing is also a valuable resource for those preparing for competitive exams and community-based healthcare roles.
