Conclusion: The Quad Council Coalition of C/PHN competencies are appropriate with the Indonesian PHN competencies, although the priority is changed related of local wisdom as stated in the Minister of Health’s Regulation No. 279 Year 2006. Therefore, the Indonesian P/HN competencies should be developed to support the Indonesian health people through family approach. }, issn = {2406-8799}, pages = {350--360} doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v10i3.29435}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/29435} }
