Environmental Health Nursing: Research, Evidence, and Impact

Translating environmental health research into nursing practice

Modifiable environmental factors account for more than one-fifth of global death and disability, yet nursing science has lacked a discipline-specific resource connecting environmental health research with clinical practice. Environmental Health Nursing: Research, Evidence, and Impact presents advanced research methods and their translation into evidence-based practice, organized around topical themes developed through the NIH/NIEHS-supported Environmental Health Research Institute for Nurse and Clinician Scientists (EHRI-NCS) workshop model.

The book delivers detailed measurement methods spanning physiological findings, biomarkers of exposure and effect, personal and area exposure, and community exposure assessments. Step-by-step guides cover directed acyclic graphs, geospatial mapping, time-series analysis, and job exposure matrices. Each chapter features a sidebar biography of a role model in environmental health nursing science, plus critical thinking exercises.

Readers will also find: Translational theoretical frameworks, intervention study designs, and participatory action designs for regulatory science and policy development research Informatics resources including continuous sensor analysis, exposure mixture pathway analysis, multi-level enrichment, and population weighted analytical methods Pragmatic strategies for addressing factors outside the researcher's control in both controlled and real-world evidence contexts Coverage of health disparities and at-risk populations across the lifespan integrated throughout environmental health research content Open-source train-the-trainer instructor resources from the EHRI-NCS workshops supporting faculty development and seminar convenings

Environmental Health Nursing serves graduate nursing students in Master, PhD and DNP programs, nurse scientists advancing environmental health research, and faculty developing curricula aligned with updated competencies for planetary health. Interdisciplinary scientists in medicine, engineering, and health policy who collaborate with nurse researchers will also find targeted guidance.
