Resumen de Nightingale�s Environmental Theory

Margaret J. Hegge

• This author extracts the environmental theory from Florence Nightingale�s writings and recorded experiences. As Nightingale�s experiences broadened to other cultures and circumstances, she generated an ever-widening commitment to redress unjust social policies imperiling human health. She mobilized collaborators, shaped public awareness, and championed the cause of those suffering as a result of unjust policies. Nightingale challenged nurses to create environments where population health is a realistic expectation.
