Environmental Health Nursing

Overview

Environmental health nursing is a specialty practice area that addresses the intersection between environmental factors and human health outcomes, focusing on how nurses assess, prevent, and manage health conditions influenced by environmental exposures and conditions. While Clinical and Practical Nursing has published research examining various dimensions of nursing practice and theory, the journal's coverage of environmental health nursing remains limited within its current archive. The available research explores foundational nursing frameworks such as contextual action theory, which provides theoretical grounding for understanding how nurses respond to complex situational factors in practice settings. Additional studies examine collaborative care dynamics, including how nurses work alongside unlicensed assistive personnel in clinical environments, and investigate nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward specific health interventions such as organ donation in hospital settings. These contributions reflect the journal's broader interest in nursing practice contexts, professional roles, and knowledge assessment, which form essential components of comprehensive nursing care. As environmental health concerns continue to grow globally, the integration of environmental health principles into nursing education and practice remains an important area for future scholarly development within the discipline.
