Hello, my name is Muhammad Mahdi Sami, majoring in a Bachelor of Nursing Sciences. I would love to offer nursing courses today. I will present a health promotion course in nursing.

•Over the past two decade the explosion of interest and participation in health promotion and wellness activities has resulted in an evolution in health care .

•In fact, health promotion is often confused with or used synonymously with health education.

•The confusion is the result of a change in the way thinking about or paradigm shift in the concept of health.

In 1986 the WHO sponsored the first international conference on health promotion ( Ottawa charter). Health promotion , as presented in the Ottawa charter, included:

•Enabling people to live health lifestyles by building healthy public policy ,

• Creating supportive environment,

• Strengthening community action,

•Developing personal skills, and

• Reorienting health services.

•Health promotion is a relatively recent term that has various meanings among individual, and societies reflective of values, beliefs, politics, and philosophies.

•Health education is a major component of health promotion.

Theory helps to explain a phenomenon of interest.

Models are visual representations of the concepts that work together to become a theory.

Researchers developed theories that seek to explain factors and interactions among factors that influence the health of individuals or a group of individuals
