title: Success of the Nurse's Role in Primary Health Care.
abstract: This paper is based on some of the findings of a demonstration project which undertook to measure the level of patient and participant satisfaction with community nursing service in a family practice unit, as one indicator of the feasibility of nurses and physicians practicing in a complementary fashion at the source of primary family health care. In addition, descriptive data concerning the characteristics of the community nursing role and the factors influencing its development were gathered concurrently.A baccalaureate nurse gave family-centered nursing care, complementary to medical care, in a family practice unit. Methods of study were interviews with unit staff and a sample of 100 patients who had received community nursing service and review of patient records.This project was supported by funds provided by the Department of National Health and Welfare, National Health Grant No. 606-20-14.
