| Annotation | Given the emphasis on providing services in the community, it is likely that there will be an increase in research into various aspects of the community. It is important that the way in which `community' is defined in research will provide valid and reliable data and facilitate comparisons with other work on the subject. This paper discusses how the problems of defining community were approached in a longitudinal study of the careers of registered nurses who qualified from the nurse diploma course. Three distinct settings which the participants regarded as `working in the community' were identified: visiting or providing care for people in their own homes; settings in which care is provided to people who visit it but do not stay as inpatients; and settings in which people live together in the community.
