 This study explores public health nurses' fundamental competency in creating the community health care systems in each community from providing individual care. Thirty-seven public health nurses, with at least 15 years experience and who have created community health care systems, were interviewed.

 Grounded theory methodology is used to create a community health care system based on four major competencies: 1)being sensitive to individual client health problems, 2)taking practice initiative, 3)community partnership, and 4)empowering colleagues. They were composed 13 categories; 1)prioritizing assessment of individual client and their family daily life; 2)prioritizing assessment of individual client's feelings; 3)orienting care provision to prevention; 4)assessing community health needs through assessing individual health needs; 5)understanding connections between community care and individual client needs; 6)initiating possible intervention; 7)prioritizing time for practice, 8)coordinating practice and policy; 9)ongoing professional learning; 10)gaining skilled knowledge through practice; 11)respecting client opinions about health maintenance; 12)building effective relationships with other community health care workers; 13)reflecting self as a public health nurse.

 It is important that public health nurses initiate effective practice oriented toward the needs of individual clients thus empowering each other and challenging themselves to partner with the community.

 The theme of the study is “being sensitive to health problems of individual clients” as the foundation of community health nursing. Inductive thinking is the major competency in creating effective systems for community care that is based on individual care. Furthermore, community health nursing through community partnership is difficult and time consuming. Public health nurses are empowered by maintaining productive relationships with colleagues and the wider community and committing to continuing education and practice experience.
