Health Promotion Model: An Integrative Literature Review

Abstract

Background: The Health Promotion Model (HPM) indicates that each person is a biopsychosocial creature that is partially shaped by the environment, but also seeks to create an environment in which inherent and acquired human potential can be fully expressed. The HPM is proposed as a holistic predictive model of health-promoting behavior for use in research and practice. Purpose: The purpose of this review is to examine how the HPM has been applied in various research studies. Methods: An integrative review was used to find studies that were guided by the HPM. Data search was between 2008 to 2018 using Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, EBSCO, Cochrane, ERIC, Joanna Briggs Institute and EBSCO host. The keywords used were Pender's and Health Promotion Model. Results: Seventeen studies were reviewed; most of them were quantitative studies. These studies discussed variables from the HPM. Most of the study variables were measured using instruments derived from the HPM. The results of the reviewed studies revealed that the HPM had predictive value in estimating health-promoting behaviors. Conclusion: The HPM was widely established in the nursing community and was implemented in nursing practice, education, and research. In addition, the HPM constructs were used to hypothesize conceptual frameworks in many studies to predict health-promoting behaviors in many chronic diseases.

The effects of a training program based on the health promotion model on physical activity in women with type 2 diabetes: A randomized controlled clinical trial

“…The effectiveness of interventions based on the HPM on promoting healthy behaviors has been investigated in several studies. [ 19 20 21 ] Although related studies in diabetic women are limited, they emphasized the importance of using models in predicting physical activity. [ 21 22 ] Nurses can provide their patients with advice regarding health-promoting behaviors such as physical activity using HPM.…”

Knowledge and Practice of Health and Safety in Handling Organic Solvents among Automobile Industry Workers in Brunei Darussalam

“…There is discrepancy in the quantitative and qualitative analysis with the pictorial evidences. This indicate that although a person may have the knowledge and stated that they employed safety practice, what they said may not necessarily be the case in actual situation [18,21]. Qualitative analysis of the open-ended questions further indicated the importance of cleaning the workplace area, disposal of used paints, and hand washing after their work activities.…”

The Impact of Educational Intervention Based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model on Healthy Lifestyle in Women of Reproductive Age in Iran

“…Personal experiences and characteristics include two constructs of prior health-related behavior and personal factors and directly and indirectly influence behavior through emotions and cognitions. Emotions and cognitions include per-ceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived self-efficacy, behavior-related feelings, interpersonal influencers, and situational influencers [10]. The purpose of this research was to specify the effectiveness of educational intervention based on Pender health promotion model on improving healthy lifestyle in women in Iran.…”
