What qualities and abilities should a qualified health education nurse possess?
To carry out health education, nurses should clearly understand, update their concepts and knowledge, and plan and deploy nursing health education under the guidance of modern nursing theory health view. We should not only consider the process of public acquiring knowledge and changing attitudes and behaviors, but also consider how to understand patients' needs and carry out health education according to their different cultures, habits and requirements. Therefore, nurses must strengthen the study of corresponding theoretical knowledge, have certain related abilities, such as language expression ability, communication ability, knowledge and judgment ability of things, and be able to accurately know what patients need. Health education is to teach the public or help individuals and the masses to master health care knowledge, establish health concepts, eliminate and reduce risk factors affecting health, prevent diseases, promote health and improve the quality of life. You can take lectures, discussions, watching, consulting and answering questions and individual counseling.

The formulation of patient education plan, the selection of education content and methods, the progress and control of teaching are all planned and decided by nurses. Purposeful, planned and evaluated educational activities are realized through the organization of nurses. The ability of nurses to organize teaching directly affects the effect of patient education. Therefore, nurses must master the basic principles and skills of patient education, fully evaluate the learning needs and abilities of patients and their families, determine the learning content of health education, and make a plan for patient health education, so as to really do a good job in organizing patient health education.

Patience education is a special teaching activity. As an educational organizer, nurses are different from teachers in general. Their duties are not only to impart knowledge, but also to pay attention to the learning behavior of patients and their families and help patients establish healthy behaviors while widely contacting patients, understanding patients and observing patients. Nurses are required to win the understanding of patients in their work, gain the trust, respect and consideration of patients with a strong sense of responsibility, bring self-esteem and warmth to patients, and thus gain the goodwill and closeness of patients. The role of nurses is to build a bridge between healthy and unhealthy behaviors, impart knowledge and correct attitudes. Patient health education is a complete education system, and the relationship between this system and external factors is in a coordinated and balanced state. Although the education plan can be made by nurses, it needs the close cooperation of all kinds of personnel and the coordination of all links in the specific implementation process, so that the whole education activity is always in a harmonious state of close cooperation, mutual coordination and gradual completion. Therefore, as a member of the system network, nurses should play a coordinating role with doctors, nutritionists, full-time educators, patients and their families.
