“…However, the socio-political factors such as inequalities (the 'invisible') must also be addressed (Morgan and Marsh, 1998;Robinson and Hill, 1998;Burke and Smith, 2000). Hence, Whitehead (2004Whitehead ( , 2006 contends that socio-political processes in the form of community development approaches to health promotion have superceded individualistic forms and nursing [and thus nurse education] should attempt to reflect this wider agenda. Such endeavour may also require alternative models of teaching (FalkRafael et al, 2004).…”

“…Thus, while impossible to advance a final, absolute definition of health promotion (Whitehead, 2004), nurse educators need to define health promotion for nursing (Berg and Sarvima¨ki, 2003) and nursing practice (Robinson and Hill, 1998) while using the language of policy makers and other disciplines to facilitate both understanding and a contribution to the wider health promotion debate. Drawing attention to, and making explicit the contemporary terminology and its meaning also has to be a feature of the nursing curriculum and associated teaching and learning strategies for the twenty-first century.…”

“…Macleod Clark et al (1996) found that health promotion was described in terms of contemporary definitions of health education and Brubaker (1983) revealed a failure to differentiate between health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, community health and wellness. Anderson (1984), Latter et al (1992), King (1994) and Whitehead (2004) also noted the interchangeable use of language while for Lask (1987) health education included social and environmental elements and, for Latter et al (1992), raising public awareness about these issues.…”

SummaryThe definitions and meaning qualified nurses employed in an acute NHS hospital setting in the UK gave to health education and health promotion practice and how these fitted established language and theory were investigated qualitatively. These concepts, and the concomitant frameworks and models of practice, have been the subject of considerable debate in the literature. While unresolved both in general and in nursing, a degree of theoretical convergence was established in the 1990s [Bunton, R., Macdonald, G., 1992. Health promotion: disciplines and diversity. Routledge, London; Maben, J.M., Macleod Clark, J. 1995. Health promotion: a concept analysis. Journal of Advanced Nursing 22, 1158-165] helped by The Ottawa Charter [WHO, 1986. Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. http:// www.who.int/hpr/archive/docs/ottawa.html]. For many of the participants in this study however, the meanings given to these concepts and the predominant use of health education were inconsistent with much of the language of the wider debate and this has potential implications for nurse education. For, if the findings are considered transferable then there is a need to develop education strategies and curricula that articulate the ideological foundations of policy and practice and to use mainstream terminology to assist nurses both to understand and contribute to the contemporary health promotion debate.

Background: Cost effective and feasible instrument is required to assess the health promoting behaviours of Medical students from the stressful and hectic schedule of their training in the Medical College. Hence with the help the of HPLP-II questionnaire, lifestyles of first year MBBS students were assessed. The primary objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the health promoting behaviors of 287 medical students in Bhopal using HPLP II questionnaire.Methods: This cross-sectional self-administered health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) questionnaire study was undertaken among the MBBS first year students, aged 18-22 year, in the region of Bhopal to find out the health promoting behaviors among them.Results: Out of total 324 medical students from 3 different medical colleges, 248 completed the HPLP-II questionnaire. The mean score of this scale was 2.47(SD=0.34) for male and 2.41(SD=0.27) for female students. The highest mean out of a scale of 4, was 2.96(SD=0.55) & 2.96(SD=0.49) for spiritual growth in male and female students respectively. The lowest mean score for female was 1.96(SD=0.53) in term of Physical activity subscale. Except for Physical activity subscale, there was no major difference between other subscales by gender.Conclusions: By adopting a healthier lifestyle, Health status of an individual can be significantly improved. Since this study shows low health promoting behaviors in medicos, there is need to develop guidelines, interventions and periodic investigation for the students for their good health.

“…Through participation, empowerment is achieved ensuring individuals are involved in decisions that affect their lives and facilitating a client-centred approach (Barr, 2007). This involvement should occur at all stages; assessing, planning, implementation and evaluation of health promotion programmes (Whitehead, 2004;Barr, 2007). Approaches are generally based on education, behaviour or social change and focused on client need.…”

Obesity is a significant health problem for people with intellectual disability, as they report a 59% higher rate of obesity as compared with those in the general population (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, 2006). Causes are multifactorial and obesity leads to a higher risk of developing chronic conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease. While the risks of these conditions generally increase with age, people with an intellectual disability are at risk of developing them earlier owing to their higher levels of obesity. Client groups with mild intellectual disability residing in a group home or family home are at a higher risk of obesity than those in institutional care, mainly owing to increased independence and available choices. Healthcare services have predominantly focused on the primary disability rather than on prevention or reduction of secondary health conditions. As health promotion enables people to gain control over their lives, it is essential to address the health concern of obesity for people with intellectual disability. This article highlights the issues in health care faced by people with an intellectual disability and aspects that health professionals need to consider when engaging in health promotion for those who are obese.
