Utilizing the theoretical framework of nursing help nurses to be effective patient educators. Health promotion model is one of the theories from which nurses use as tools to achieve the optimal patient outcomes. Nurses adapt each unique patient’s situation in their patient education. This case study will use Nola Pender’s Health Promoting Model to help Corey in improving his health promotion behavior by teaching him how to adhere to his medication and supporting the practice of health behavior. According to Pender, Murdaugh, and Parsons, health promotion model describes the multidimensional nature of persons as they interact with their interpersonal and physical environments to pursue health. It enables nurse to explore the complex biophysical …show more content…
Corey has a positive prior related behavior because he successfully tried to exercise regularly in the past, before he finally stopped exercising due to his hospitalizations. His personal factors that the nurses need to consider in his educational plan include biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Corey biological factors are his age, occupation as a elementary student, his normal body mass index, and his high activity level. His psychological factors include his high self esteem, high self-motivation, and perceive of health status as one that can be improved. Corey’s sociocultural factors are his Hispanic background, his parents’ low education, and low-income status. Corey seems to have good biological and physical factors that will benefit him in his attempt to engage in health promoting behaviors although his sociocultural factors do not seem to be supportive to Corey’s health promotion plan. These characteristics of Corey would influence the next stage of the health promotion model where he then contemplates the benefits and barriers of health promoting actions, perceived self-efficacy, and his or her affect related to the specific …show more content…
They are perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived self-efficacy, activity-related affect, interpersonal influences and situational influences. Corey intrinsic benefit in promoting health is to increase his energy level, improve his breathing, and prevent his asthma exacerbation. His extrinsic benefit is to be able to actively participate in his basketball team again. Moreover, Corey also has barriers that would discourage him to engage in the health promotion plan. His perceived barriers of action include the lack of understanding of chronic asthma, the use of medication, and the benefit of exercise. On the other hand, the nurse assessment shows that Corey has high self-efficacy. It is important to have high self-efficacy because it can lower his perception of barriers and motivate health-promoting behavior; “self-efficacy motivates health promoting behavior directly by efficacy expectations and indirectly by affecting perceived barriers and level of commitment or persistence in pursuing a plan of action” (Pender, Murdaugh, & Parsons, 2015, p. 37). Furthermore, Corey has a positive activity-related affect. He is a smart young boy who enjoys learning. He is motivated to improve his knowledge about chronic asthma, learn how to take his medication, and exercise to improve hit fitness level. He
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
D.P. receives an abundance of support in her life. She finds most of her motivation from her family because family means the world to her. The members in her family will encourage her to do her best along with attending diabetic information groups. She finds the support and motivation from her family to be a great way to help deal with her diabetes. Other family members who have diabetes or know someone else with diabetes helps her realize that this is not necessarily an ending of freedom or her life. The health care professionals also have an impact on D.P.’s motivational level as they give her options and techniques to improve her ways of living in order to cope with diabetes. Fox and Chesla (2008) see the positive inspirational outcome a
Safe staffing issue has been identified as one of the problem in health care. The problem resulted from the inappropriate ratio between the nurse and the number of patients a nurse takes care within a shift. Patients and nurses well-being are being at risk because of the inappropriate safe staffing because of nurses feeling overwhelmed and stressed with their job. It was learned from the previous papers that the issue with staff level can be intervened by applying the theory of Health Promotion Model as a framework in assisting nurse leaders in creating policies that ensure healthy and appropriate work practices, determine the appropriate number of nurse 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 purpose of the scholarly paper part two is to demonstrate the completion of the evidence-based homeless health promotion project; it is specific to the population living in Miami, Florida. Part two of the project presents evidence-based interventions to address measurable and unfavorable health outcomes associated with risk factors that were identified in part one of the project. Also, health promotion project evaluation will be provided.
This essay which will identify the five approaches with health promotion. It will focus on two approaches for the sake of this essay. These approaches will be defined and show how it could be used to tackle a life style behaviour using the Beattie’s model. The Beattie’s model is one of the several models health promoters use as a guide to direct the intervention mode and strategy which is suitable for any particular problem. This model will be used to identify the location of each of the two approaches, highlighting role of the health promoter in each approach, as well as discuss policies and ethical issues which are associated with each approach. Furthermore the essay will cover the values of each approach while it emphasis the need for health promoters to consider the effectiveness of a model to ensure suitability for any presented problem.
Often in practice, we as nurses deal with a variety of diseases and treatments and often have to react to the illness that the patient presents with upon our interaction. While this is an essential piece of our practice, we also have a duty to our patients to be proactive in preventing specific health-related consequences based on their risk factors and to promote their health and well being. Health promotion as it relates to nursing is about us empowering our patients to increase their control over their lives and well beings and includes: focusing on their health not just illness, empowering our patients, recognizing that health involves many dimensions and is also effected by factors outside of their control (Whitehead et al. 2008)..
In recent years, research has established that there is a growing prevalence of dementia among people aged 65 years and above. A study by Prince, Prina and Guerchet (2013), established that the global prevalence of dementia has been increasing at a rate of 7%, especially among the adults who were aged over 60 years old. Research has also shown that a great number of the minority communities especially those of immigrants are having a high incidence of Alzheimer's disease. Similarly, high incidence has also been seen in Caucasian people. In this same study, Native Americans showed to have lower rates of the Alzheimer disease compared to the whites (Anderson & Egge, 2014).
Health promotion includes providing activities that improve a person’s health. These activities assist patients to “maintain or enhance their present levels of health. Health promotion activities motivate people to act positively to reach more stable levels of health” (Potter & Perry, 2005, p. 97). In order for nurses to assist patients in obtaining healthy lifestyles, they must first assess a patient’s perception of health. The World Health Organization defines health as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (as cited in Potter & Perry, 2005, p. 91). There are many nursing theories that are based on an individual’s perception of health. This paper will explore how health promotion theories can assist nurses in understanding how these perceptions can affect a person’s lifestyle choices.
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

There are many factors that can contribute to a person’s health, for example education, shelter, income and food. Health promotion aims towards raising the health status of communities, and the individuals living within these communities, as well as ‘improving, advancing, supporting, encouraging and placing health higher on both personal and public agendas’ (Scriven, 2010). Paperny (2010) notes the importance of health promotion, noting that the ‘promotion of healthy lifestyles and reduction of health risks’ can help people ‘make decisions to prevent disease, and develop long term positive health
Introduction The health promotion program for Casey community was implemented to reduce and prevent alcohol and drug abuse among teenagers, the main target group. There are several factors which contributed towards alcohol and drug abuse among teenagers. Those factors are ‘macro-environmental issues, socioeconomic gaps, joblessness, social capital, the physical environment and social morals and faith. However, it was noted that the family is an important group who mediates with all the effects ‘(Spooner, Hall and Lynskey 2001, 26).
