Theoretical Model Analysis : Pender’s Health Promotion Model Cattaleeya Chantaros Florida Southern College School of Nursing Pender’s Health Promotion Model Nola J Pender purposed the health promotion model in 1982. The model focuses on increasing a level of well-being but not an absence of the disease (Pender, Murdaugh, & Parsons, 2011). Pender explained that health promotion is the model that help people change their lifestyles to move toward a state of positive health behavior (Pender et al., 2011). The model focuses on these three areas: individual characteristics and experiences, behavior-specific cognitions, and behavioral outcomes (Pender et al., 2011). Health promoting behaviors should result in improved overall health and functional …show more content…
The model does not stress on an individual currently experiencing a disease. The model concentrates on health promotion and disease prevention, thus; this might be obscure to individuals who already have chronic illnesses (Butts & Rich, 2011). Moreover, for an individual to fully adhere to a health-promoting behavior, he or she needs to have proper financial support (Butts & Rich, 2011). An individual who financially unstable might have reduced commitment to the plan of action which can decrease the ideal outcome of a health-promoting behavior even if the individual has the necessary to complete it (Butts & Rich, 2011). Visual Diagram (Butts & Rich, 2011) The health promotion explains that individuals have their characteristic and experiences that affect their decision making and following actions. Behavior specific cognition and effect are the factors the influence individuals to commit to their plan of action. As a result, it should enhance in improving health and function ability. The model should end at health-promoting behaviors (Butts & Rich, 2011).

Pender’s Health Promotion Model (HPM) will be used as the theoretical framework for this project. The primary role as a health care provider is to help patients adopt healthy behaviors. Pender’s model focuses on three areas: individual characteristics and experiences, behavior-specific cognitions and affect, and behavior outcomes. This framework provides an organized approach for nurses to follow in the promotion of healthy behaviors, such as health screenings, to clients and patients. Nursing interventions can be developed that address perceived self-efficacy, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, interpersonal influences, and situational influences relevant to a particular health behavior, such as health screenings for STIs (McCullagh, 2013). This model is applicable to
Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. There are a number of significant approaches that underpin the practice of health promotion. Tannahill (1996) postulated that all approaches are interrelated, but individually seen; they reflect distinctive ways of looking or approaches health issues. These models includes medical, education, behaviour change, empowerment and social change. The models that connect these approaches are Becker (1994), Claplan and Holland’s (1990), Beattie (1991), Tannahill Downie et al (1996) and Tones, Tones and Tilford (1994).

The health promotion is a key factor process of permitting people to increase control over their health status in order to improve it. It not only covers the actions directly aimed at increasing the skills and capabilities of individuals, but is also aimed at changing the social, environmental and economic issues that impact on healthy habits.
The model that I think best coincides with my definition is the Health Protection/ Promotion Model. This model assists people to recover following threats to health, and to achieve the highest level of health possible. Health promotion model believes that leisure, particularly perceived freedom, intrinsic motivation, and self-determination are key factors in health. This model has a humanistic perspective which means that it views people as capable of change and responsible for their health. It emphasizes an individual’s inherent drive towards self-actualization and creativity. The health promotion model concentrates on the purposeful nature of therapeutic recreation, perceived control and freedom, and self-determination. It views actualization tendencies as a means to stimulate growth and movement to wellness. Wellness occurs when a person’s physical, psychological, and environmental functioning leads to self-actualization. It believes health is an intricate state in which individuals are coping with change and growing and developing. This model uses perspective activities as well as recreation and leisure to promote and protect the health of others. Perspective refers to a person 's outlook or way of viewing something. When using this technique, they provide them with a simple definition and explanation then further
Health promotion is a multifaceted movement with a core value on respect, empowerment, equity, inclusion and social justice (MacDougall 2002). Aims to achieve holistic health, while it is influenced by medical and social determinants. These determinants which aids to deter...
In this week lecture, we compile the different level of approaches to target behavior change. We reviewed behavioral change approach with the primary goal of modifying individual behavior through cognitions by the provision of education and raising awareness. We also reviewed self-empowerment approach with the focus on helping individuals make choices through participatory learning techniques and increases one control over physical, social and internal environments. Last, we introduce collective action or community development approach. This approach looks to improve health by addressing the social determinates of health.

Health psychology focuses on the well being of a person’s physical health. “Health psychology reflects the belief that lifestyle choices, behaviors, and psychological characteristics can play important roles in health (Hwang, Moser, & Dracup, 2014; Oh and Taylor, 2014)” as found in (King, 2016 p. 508.). I want to eat healthy and become physically active. “The stages of change model describes the process by which individuals give up bad habits and adopt healthier lifestyles” (King, 2016 p. 510.). The five stages are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation/determination, action/willpower, and maintenance. I think those things can help you accomplish many things. My mom has been smoking since she was eleven and I think these five steps can help her quit. My sister has high blood pressure and complains if being overweight. The purpose of this paper is to explain how health psychology can help my family and I become healthy and active.
The various constructs of the HBM are based on the theory that behavior depends mainly on two variables; the value placed on a health goal and the perceived probability that an action will achieve that goal when applied to health-related behaviors (Janz & Becker, 1984). These values translate into the desire to avoid illness (or if ill, to get well) and the belief that a certain action will prevent or cure illness (Janz & Becker, 1984). Although the HBM is the most commonly used theory in health education and promotion, the model does have its limitations. First, the model does not account for individual attitudes and beliefs that determine health behavior. It does not take into account habitual behaviors such as smoking. The HBM does not account for economic or environmental factors nor does it consider behaviors performed for non-health reasons. Additionally, there are assumptions that the same health information is readily available to everyone (Boston University School of Public Health, 2013). Finally, the Health Belief Model does not suggest a strategy for changing behaviors; it is more descriptive than explanatory (BUSPH, 2013).
Behavior is an important keyword when discussing health promotion theories because lifestyle modification requires a change in beliefs and attitude. Many health promotion theories explain how behavior can enhance or deter a patients progress in health related activities. Nola Pender, a nursing theorist and educator, has developed the Health Promotion Model (HPM). The three main parts of the HPM ar...
Health promotion is the process of improving health status of a person and prevention of disease by enabling the person to take control of their health. It is not just the absence of disease (Maben, & Clark, 1995). Health promotion is commonly used term in health care world, and in current society the promotion of health has greater significance, especially with the rise in consumerism. Health promotion is a vital concept for nursing, symbolizing notions that nursing is related today. Nurses are being urged to take a health promotion role, and are deemed by others as an ideal role for them. It is therefore crucial that nurses cognize the meaning of health promotion and also what is expected from them by undertaking this
