NURSING CONCEPT AND
PRACTICE

40. 1. Holistic Model
2. Healh Belief Model
3. Health Promotion
Model

41. HOLISTICMODEL
• The holistic treatment of the body’s expression
of symptoms is done through natural and
preventative approaches.
• The individual is looked at as a person- not as
the disease they have or ailments they exhibit.
• With holistic health, one’s health is measured
not just with the absence of symptoms and
disease, but an overall positive state of being.

42. HOLISTIC HEALTH
• Therefore, individuals also have a
responsibility for their own total health
and have to be an active participant in
their approaches towards day-to-day
wellness and healing to keep the body in
balance.

48. HEALTH BELIEF MODEL
The Health Belief Model (HBM) is one of
the most widely used conceptual
frameworks for understanding health
behaviour.
Developed in the early 1950s, the model
has been used with great success for
almost half a century to promote greater
condom use, seat belt use, medical
compliance, and health screening use, to
name a few behaviors.

49. HEALTH BELIEF MODEL
• The HBM is based on the understanding that a
person will take a health-related action (i.e.,
use condoms) if that person: feels that a
negative health condition (i.e., HIV) can be
avoided,
• has a positive expectation that by taking a
recommended action, he/she will avoid a
negative health condition (i.e., using condoms
will be effective at preventing HIV), and
• believes that he/she can successfully take a
recommended health action (i.e., he/she can
use condoms comfortably and with
confidence).
