TL;DR
The congruence between the clinical path variance and the intensity of need for care scores reaffirms the importance of the domain of health behavior intervention as a major aspect of public health nurses practice.
Abstract
Collaborative clinical research studies such as this one are useful in advancing evidenced-based practice in clinical agencies. The congruence between the clinical path variance and the intensity of need for care scores reaffirms the importance of the domain of health behavior intervention as a major aspect of public health nurses practice.
