Zusammenfassung:Kibbutz nursing has long been established as a role that addresses the needs of a community’s health that arises from the underlying philosophy of the kibbutz communal structure. Despite the number of years of this nursing practice, there is a paucity of literature concerning its development and scope. While parallels may exist with other rural and remote nursing services throughout the world, the kibbutz philosophy of "each according to his ability and to each according to his needs" has governed the important areas of education, labor, and the provision of health to its members. This model of nursing care illustrates a number of examples of primary health principles that can be adapted and applied in other rural nursing practices. The article discusses problems nurses face in such an intimate setting as the kibbutz.
