Characteristics, enablers, and barriers to the community health and well-being assessment component of the health promotion practice cycle: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The proposed review will describe the characteristics, enablers, and barriers to the community health and well-being assessment (CHWA) component of the health promotion practice cycle.

Introduction: CHWA guides health promotion action in communities and populations. A "critical" approach to CHWA can be adopted, which addresses the social, political, cultural, economic, commercial, and environmental determinants of health and well-being to enhance health equity for priority communities and populations.

Steps towards empowerment: an examination of colleges, health services and universities.

In Australia, nursing educators work across three main contexts - training colleges, health services and universities. Because the pace of change for nursing has increased dramatically and the curriculum is becoming even more crowded, educators in these contexts are likely to be experiencing work-related stress. This study investigated this issue utilising a purposive sampling strategy to interview a cross section of nurse educators and those supporting educators.
