2001年的炭疽事件生动地说明,涉及释放生物制剂的恐怖主义是一个重大的公共卫生紧急情况,需要立即作出协调一致的反应。如果医疗保健专业人员和应急响应人员要准备好应对此类攻击,则需要在国家、州和地方各级开展前所未有的合作。为了帮助这些努力,先进的实践公共卫生护士(PHN)必须行使他们的能力,与各种学科和社区合作。使用洛杉矶县公共卫生护理实践模式,可以训练高级实践PHN有效地处理生物恐怖主义行为。这种模式将公共卫生护理的实践定义为以人口为基础的工作,以创造健康的人可以生活在健康社区内的条件。本文将讨论生物恐怖主义的威胁,并描述如何公共卫生护理实践模式可以应用于协助先进的实践PHN在制定公共卫生计划的准备和应对生物恐怖主义。六个具体的干预措施,使先进的实践PHN影响人口在社区和系统层面将讨论沿着的影响,生物恐怖主义先进的实践公共卫生护理。
The 2001 anthrax events have vividly illustrated that terrorism involving the release of a biological agent is a major public health emergency requiring an immediate and well-coordinated response. If healthcare professionals and emergency responders are to be prepared to manage such attacks, unprecedented cooperative efforts at the national, state, and local levels are necessary. To aid such efforts, advanced practice public health nurses (PHNs) must exercise their ability to collaborate with a variety of disciplines and communities. Using the Los Angeles County Public Health Nursing Practice Model, advanced practice PHNs can be trained to deal effectively with acts of bioterrorism. This model defines the practice of public health nursing as working on a population-based level to create conditions under which healthy people can live within healthy communities. This article will discuss the threat of bioterrorism and describe how the Public Health Nursing Practice Model can be applied to assist advanced practice PHNs in the development of a public health plan for preparedness and response to bioterrorism. Six specific interventions that enable advanced practice PHNs to affect populations at the community and systems level will be discussed along with the implications of bioterrorism for advanced practice public health nursing.
