“…The physical aspects of illness have guided the clinical practices in the hospital context and in this milieu, nurses not only are not associating health promotion to their practices, but they also consider it a second level priority 12 , hampering the development of health promotion in hospital environments 13 , even though it is considered a crosscutting, multi and inter-disciplinary strategy.…”

Objectives: to acknowledge and compare the health promotion and complications' prevention practices performed by nurses working in hospital and primary health care contexts. Methods: descriptive, exploratory and crosscutting study, performed with 474 nurses selected by convenience sampling. It was used a form that encompassed two categories of descriptive statements about quality in the professional exercise of nurses. This study had ethical committee approval. Results: the nurses' population was mainly women (87,3%) with an average age of 35,5 years. There was more practices of the hospital's nurses related to the identification of potential problems of the patient (p=0.001) and supervision of the activities that put in place the nursing interventions and the activities that they delegate (p=0.003). Conclusion: the nurses perform health promotion and complications' prevention activities, however not in a systematic fashion and professional practices differ by context. This study is relevant as it may promote the critical consciousness of the nurses about the need of stressing quality practices.

Access to adequate and timely intimate partner violence education and training is important in improving nurses' responses to intimate partner violence. Getting this right can lead to enhanced safety planning and better health outcomes for women who experience intimate partner violence. Although difficult to measure as an outcome, nurses' improved responses can contribute to higher rates of referral for help and reduction in intimate partner violence rates.

“…Personal skills for public health PHE et al (2016) requires all health practitioners to work to reduce health inequalities and improve individual lifestyles. While there is considerable research supporting the findings that nurses understand the philosophy and principles of health promotion, nursing practice is largely limited to various forms of health education (Casey, 2007;Whitehead et al, 2008;Kemppainen et al, 2013;Shoqirat, 2014), which is recognised as insufficient to facilitate change (Kasila et al, 2018). It may be that many factors have contributed to this situation, including the healthcare culture, demanding clinical workload, nurses' own health behaviours and the lack of prominence of public health within nurse education.…”

Nurses have a public health role, requiring them to promote the health of individuals and communities, and to engage at a political and policy level to improve population health. There is also a professional expectation that nurses will model healthy behaviours and take responsibility for their personal health and wellbeing. However, studies have indicated that undergraduate nurses find the academic and practice elements of their nursing programmes stressful. To manage their stress many use coping behaviours that negatively impact on their health and wellbeing and may influence their ability and willingness to effectively support health promotion in practice. It is widely recognised that environments influence health outcomes and personal health behaviours. This article addresses some of the structural causes of student nurse stress and highlights a recent educational initiative at a UK university that aims to equip student nurses with the practical skills required to engage in health promotion and thereby provide benefits for service users and student nurses alike.
