Journal Entry one- Dr. Nola Pender Health Promotion Model
Health care improvement is a very important issue with patients and healthcare providers.
Dr. Nola Pender developed the Health Promotion Model (HPM) which focuses on helping people
achieve higher levels of well-being. According to Dr. Pender past behavior, cultural traditions,
and family traditions can impact a person's ability to engage in health-promoting behaviors. The
Health Promotion Model consists of five key concepts including person, environment, nursing,
health, and illness (Nursing Theories and Models, 2018). By participating in their own care will
allow patients to make better choices which in return could lead to better health outcomes (Polit
& Beck, 2012). Pender was convinced that patients' quality of life could be improved by the
prevention of problems before they occurred, and health care dollars could be saved by the
promotion of healthy lifestyles (Nursing Theories and Models, 2018).
