HEALTH PROMOTION MODEL
I. BACKGROUND: OVERVIEW
A. Nola Pender (born August 16, 1941) is a nursing theorist,
author, and academic. She is a professor emeritus of nursing at
the University of Michigan. Nola Pender developed a nursing
theory called the Health Promotion Model. This theory is aimed
at helping patients prevent illness through their behaviors and
choices (Butts et al., 2013).
B. She earned her Ph.D. degree from Northwestern University in
1969. During her doctoral degree, she met a doctoral advisor by
the name James Hall who studied human thoughts in relation to
how they influenced and shaped their behavior and motivation.
From her interaction with James, Nola developed a keen interest
in health promotion, which culminated in her, coming up with
the health promotion model after seeing that health personnel
only intervene when a patient has developed an acute or chronic
health condition (Butts et al., 2013).

2. C. She believed that preventing a health complication before it
occurred could improve a person’s quality of life and save them
money. Pender’s model was published in 1982.
D. Overview of the Theory
• The purpose of Nola Pender’s theory is to aid nurses in
helping their patients identify health risk factors as well as
beneficial practices in order to help the patients actively
determine which behaviors will result in achieving optimum
health (Pender, 2011).
• The Health Promotion Model is based on eight assessment-
nursing beliefs, all of which can be determined as points of
potential nursing intervention (Petiprin, 2016).
• The key nursing concepts captured in the model include a
consideration of the:
· Person
· Environment
· Nursing
· Health
· Illness (Pender, 2011)
II. BACKGROUND: THEORY DESCRIPTION
A. Health Promotion Model
1. The Model:
· In1982, Dr. Pender published the Health Promotion Model in
her first edition book, Health Promotion in Nursing Practice.
· The key components of this model include individual
characteristics and experiences, behavior specific cognition and
affects, and behavioral outcome health promoting behavior.

3. · The purpose of this model is to promote health promotion and
illness prevention.
· It can aid nurses to help patients in altering their negative
behaviors.
· Mid-range theory: A testable theory that contains a limited
number of variables, and is limited in scope as well, yet is of
sufficient in generality to be useful with a variety of clinical
research questions (physical exercise, diet, smoking, stress
management) (Brown, 2013).
2. Focus and Goal:
· In Pender’s perspective, health is a positive dynamic state, not
just absence of disease. Thus, her theory focuses on three main
aspects of life, behavior specific knowledge, individual
experience, and behavior outcome. As such, every individual
should be educated on behavioral changes that will help
promote their health.
· Dr. Pender wanted a model that focused on positive factors:
· Identified factors that influence behavior (Pender, 2011)
· The nurse work with the patient to discover behaviors and help
change them, so can lead to a healthy lifestyle (Pender, 2011)
· Dr. Pender believed that prevention is a better option because
it delivers:
· Better quality of life
· Increased life span
· Saving in health care dollars (Pender, 2011)
· With this knowledge, these individuals should then work

4. towards changing their past behaviors, whether cultural
practices or family traditions, with the hope that these changes
will produce anticipated health benefits. The goal is to learn and
set up health promoting behavior (Alligood, 2014).
