Abstract

Community-based nursing plays a vital role in addressing the needs of vulnerable populations by providing accessible, patient-centered care in the communities where these individuals live. Vulnerable populations, including low-income individuals, racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, the elderly, and people with chronic illnesses or disabilities, face significant social, economic, and health inequities. These disparities often result in poorer health outcomes, limited access to healthcare, and reduced quality of life. Community-based nursing focuses on the delivery of healthcare services outside traditional hospital settings, emphasizing prevention, education, and the management of chronic conditions. This article explores the role of community-based nursing in mitigating health inequities, discussing the challenges faced by vulnerable populations and the strategies that nurses can employ to address these issues. It highlights the importance of a holistic, patient-centered approach that addresses not only clinical needs but also the social determinants of health.
