Abstract
This research examines the critical role of public health nurses in enhancing community resilience during infectious disease outbreaks through a novel computational framework that integrates social network analysis, machine learning, and epidemiological modeling. Unlike traditional approaches that focus primarily on clinical interventions, our study develops a comprehensive methodology for quantifying and optimizing the community-strengthening functions performed by public health nurses. We introduce the Community Resilience Optimization through Nursing Engagement (CRONE) framework, which models nurse-community interactions as dynamic networks and employs reinforcement learning to identify optimal intervention strategies.

The research reveals that communities with optimized public health nursing interventions showed 42
