Health Promotion and Risk Reduction

Health Promotion Is…


…any combination of health education and
related organizational, economic, and
environmental supports for behavior of
individuals, groups, or communities
conducive to health (Green & Kreuter, 1991)
…that which is motivated by the desire to
increase well-being and to reach the best
possible health potential (Parse, 1990)

Health Protection Is …(Cont.)


… those behaviors in which one engages
with the specific intent to prevent disease,
detect disease in the early stages, or
maximize health within the constraints of
disease (Parse, 1990)
… an important step in maintaining health

Defining Health


The way health is defined has shifted from a
focus on the curative model, to a focus on
multidimensional aspects such as the social,
cultural, and environmental facets of life and
health (Benson, 1996)
Health is viewed not only as an important
goal, but as a resource for living (WHO, 1986)

Risk and Health


Risk is “the probability that a specific event
will occur in a given time frame” (Oleckno,
2002).
A risk factor is an exposure that is associated
with a disease (Friis & Sellers, 2004).
Risk Assessment is a systematic way of
distinguishing the risks posed by potentially
harmful exposures.

Transcultural Nursing

“…a formal area of study and practice
focused on a comparative analysis of different
cultures and subcultures in the world with
respect to cultural care, health and illness
beliefs, values, and practices with the goal of

people.”

Culture universal refers to

laws of human behavior”

and any other capabilities and habits
acquired by virtue of the fact that one is a

Culture represents a person’s way of
perceiving, evaluating, and behaving within
his or her world, and it provides the blueprint
for determining his or her values, beliefs, and
practices.
