effort to help people make their lifestyle optimally healthy.
Optimal health is defined as a balance of physical, emotional,
social, spiritual and intellectual health. Health promotion is not

behavior is a goal that will be achieved as well.

3. Community as partner nursing model according to Anderson & Mc Farlane
The community as partner model was developed based on the Neuman model with a
human totality approach to describe existing health problems. This model also emphasizes
primary health care (PHC) as a philosophy that underlies the community to actively
participate in improving health, preventing and overcoming problems through community
empowerment and partnerships. You need to know that there are three main approaches to
primary health care (PHC), namely providing basic health services with appropriate
technology, forging cross-sectoral cooperation, and increasing community participation.
Therefore, this model focuses very much on partnerships, through partnership the
community will feel that their health problems are also their responsibility.

manage services in coordination with the community or family, health
service providers or existing social services.

sustainable, of course this requires nurses to be able to interact well with the
community. In interaction, there is a process of transforming nurse behavior

the nurse is doing as a role model (example).

The next role that community nurses can play is to involve themselves in
tracing cases in the community or in the family, to further study what the
community needs. Of course, these cases may require intervention from
other professions or more complex health services, so what community
nurses do is refer clients immediately.

the community to make changes towards a healthier life. What nurses do as
reformers are as follows.

community’s health. They are human, nursing, health, and environment. As practical target,
client of nursing can be distinguished into :
1. Individual as client
Role of nurse in individuals is basically to fulfill the basic needs which includes the need
of biology, social, psychology, and spiritual because there is physical and mental
weaknesses, knowledge limitations, lack of will to patient/client self-reliance.

1) Family is prime unit in society and institution that concern people lives
2) Family is a group that create, prevent, repair, or neglect health problems in their own
group.
3) Health problem in a family are interrelated. A disease that suffered by one member of
family will affect the whole of family.
