Sažetak
The philosophy of public health nursing is based on the belief that care directed towards the individual, his family and different social groups, contributes to the protection of overall population health. Nurses’ care for health is not limited only to age or different disease groups, but it refers to all other activities which contribute to health improvement – prevention, rehabilitation, concern for social justice, reducing disparities in providing health care services, and advocating the interests of community members. It is an unavoidable fact that every health situation includes a set of value judgements or norms, therefore every decision that is made has in itself a moral component as well. There is a small number of research dealing with examining the capacity for cognition of moral dilemmas, moral deliberation, decision-making and implementing those decisions in nursing practice, especially in public health nursing.
