ABSTRACT

The nursing profession holds a pivotal role in public health, particularly in developing nations, where their caregiving extends beyond individual patients to encompass entire communities, often involving the relatives of the patients. Their involvement in the recovery process and implementation of various management strategies proves invaluable in these settings. Historically, the relationship between socioeconomic status, environmental factors, and promoting healthy living has significantly shaped the nursing field. This is because a community's well-being and health are intricately tied to its social structure, economic conditions, and environmental context at specific points in time. These elements share a close interconnection, with each influencing and reflecting upon the others. Consequently, the state of health within a society is not only a reflection of its environment and economics but also reciprocally influences it. Undoubtedly, a community's health status mirrors the level of development within the nation to which it belongs. The nursing profession plays an essential role in addressing specific initiatives aimed at social transformation within these contexts. Nurses often become catalysts for change by actively engaging in community-based healthcare, and health education, and advocating for policies that foster healthier environments and improved socio-economic conditions. Their contributions extend beyond individual patient care to initiatives that target the broader determinants of health, making them integral in driving social transformation and enhancing the well-being of communities, particularly in developing nations..
