Scope

• The aims text defines the field as health care issues relevant to all aspects of community practice and itemises home health care, visiting nursing services, clinics, hospices, education and public health administration.办刊宗旨把领域界定为社区实践各个层面的卫生保健议题，并逐条列出居家护理，上门护理服务，诊所，安宁疗护，教育以及公共卫生管理。
• A later revision of that statement adds residential care facilities and widens the address from nurses to every community health professional, keeping the same practical intent.同一宗旨文字的后一版本补入居住型照护机构，读者对象也由护士扩至全部社区卫生专业人员，实用取向保持不变。
• The declared purpose is serviceable rather than theoretical, since articles are meant to aid the nurse who makes decisions and solves problems without the back-up support systems a hospital offers.办刊目的被定为可用而非纯理论，文章要帮助那些在没有医院后备支持体系的条件下独立决策与解决问题的护士。
• Forum language is explicit in the same description, the title presenting itself as a place where community health professionals share experience and expertise with others working in the field.宗旨文字里带有交流平台色彩，期刊把自己描述成社区卫生专业人员与同行经验分享和专长展示的所在。
• Home health care holds a central position, with recent papers on community intravenous treatment, central venous access outside acute wards and the documentation used by home care agencies.居家护理居于中心位置，近年论文涉及社区静脉治疗，急性病房之外的中心静脉通路，以及居家照护机构使用的文书记录。
