Theoretical basis
Nola Pender’s Health Promotion
Model
• Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model theory
was originally published in 1982 and later
improved in 1996 and 2002.
• The Health Promotion Model notes that each
person has unique personal characteristics and
experiences that affect subsequent actions.
• Health promoting behavior is the desired
behavioral outcome and is the endpoint in the
Health Promotion Model.
• The Health Promotion Model was designed to be a
“complementary counterpart to models of health
protection.”
• Its purpose is to assist nurses in knowing and
understanding the major determinants of health
behaviors as a foundation for behavioral counseling to
promote well-being and healthy lifestyles.
• Pender’s health promotion model defines health as “a
positive dynamic state not merely the absence of
disease.
• Health promotion is directed at increasing a client’s
level of well being.
• The health promotion model describes the multi
dimensional nature of persons as they interact within
their environment to pursue health.
The model
focuses on
the
following
three areas:
1.Individual
characteristics and
experiences.
2.Behavior-specific
cognitions and affect
3.Behavioral
outcomes.
MAJOR ASSOMPTIONS
Major Assumptions in Health
Promotion Model
1. Individuals seek to actively regulate their own
behavior.
2. Individuals in all their biopsychosocial complexity
interact with the environment, progressively
transforming the environment and being transformed
over time.
3. Health professionals constitute a part of the
interpersonal environment, which exerts influence on
persons throughout their life span.
4. Self-initiated reconfiguration of person-environment
interactive patterns is essential to behavior change.
PROPOSITIONS
Propositions
• Prior behavior , inherited and acquired characteristics
influence beliefs, affect of health-promoting behavior.
• Persons should engage in behaviors from which they
anticipate personally valued benefits.
• Perceived barriers can constrain commitment to action, a
mediator of behavior as well as actual behavior.
• Perceived competence or self-efficacy to execute a given
behavior increases the likelihood of commitment to action
and actual performance of the behavior.
• Greater perceived self-efficacy results in fewer
perceived barriers to a specific health behavior.
• Positive affect toward a behavior results in
greater perceived self-efficacy, result in increased
positive affect.
• When positive emotions or affect are associated
with a behavior, the probability of commitment
and action is increased.
• Persons are more likely to commit and engage in
health-promoting behaviors.
• Families, peers, and health care providers are important
sources of interpersonal influence that can increase or
decrease commitment to and engagement in health-
promoting behavior.
• Situational influences in the external environment can
increase or decrease commitment to or participation in
health-promoting behavior.
• The greater the commitments to a specific plan of action,
the more likely health-promoting behaviors are to be
maintained over time.
• Commitment to a plan of action is less likely to result in the
desired behavior when competing demands over which
persons have little control, require immediate attention.
• Commitment to a plan of action is less likely to
result in the desired behavior when other
actions are more attractive and thus preferred
over the target behavior.
• Persons can modify cognitions, affect, and the
interpersonal and physical environment to
create incentives for health actions.
Major Concepts of the Health
Promotion Model
• Health promotion is defined as behavior
motivated by the desire to increase well-being
and actualize human health potential. It is an
approach to wellness.
• Health protection or illness prevention is
described as behavior motivated desire to
actively avoid illness, detect it early, or maintain
functioning within the constraints of illness.
• Individual characteristics and experiences (prior
related behavior and personal factors).
• Behavior-specific
cognitions and affect (perceived benefits of
action, perceived barriers to action, perceived
self-efficacy, activity-related affect, interpersonal
influences, and situational influences).
• Behavioral outcomes (commitment to a plan of
action, immediate competing demands and
preferences, and health-promoting behavior).
Sub-concepts of the Health
Promotion Model
1. Personal Factors
Personal factors categorized as biological, psychological
and socio-cultural. These factors are predictive of a given
behavior and shaped by the nature of the target behavior
being considered.
- Personal biological factors. Include variables such as age
gender body mass index pubertal status, aerobic capacity,
strength, agility, or balance.
- Personal psychological factors. Include variables such as
self-esteem, self-motivation, personal competence,
perceived health status, and definition of health.
- Personal socio-cultural factors. Include variables such as
race, ethnicity, acculturation, education, and
socioeconomic status.
2. Perceived Benefits of Action
Anticipated positive outcomes that will occur from positive health
behavior.
3. Perceived Barriers to Action
Anticipated, imagined or real blocks and personal costs of
understanding a given behavior.
4. Perceived Self-Efficacy
Judgment of personal capability to organize and execute a health-
promoting behavior. Perceived self-efficacy influences perceived
barriers to action so higher efficacy results in lowered perceptions
of barriers to the performance of the behavior.
5. Activity-Related Affect
Subjective positive or negative feeling that occurs before, during
and following behavior.
Activity-related affect influences perceived self-efficacy, which
means the more positive the subjective feeling, the greater the
feeling of efficacy.
In turn, increased feelings of efficacy can generate a further
positive affect.
5. Interpersonal Influences
Primary sources of interpersonal influences are
families, peers, and healthcare providers.
Cognition concerning behaviors, beliefs, or attitudes of
the others. Interpersonal influences include norms
(expectations of significant others), social support
(instrumental and emotional encouragement) and
modeling (vicarious learning through observing others
engaged in a particular behavior).
6. Situational Influences
Personal perceptions and cognitions of any given
situation that can facilitate or impede behavior
Situational influences may have direct or indirect
influences on health behavior.
7. Commitment to Plan of Action
The concept of intention and identification of a
planned strategy leads to the implementation of
health behavior
8. Immediate Competing Demands and
Preferences
Competing demands are those alternative
behaviors over which individuals have low control
because there are environmental contingencies
such as work or family care responsibilities.
Competing preferences are alternative behaviors
over which individuals exert relatively high
control, such as choice of ice cream or apple for a
snack
9. Health-Promoting Behavior
A health-promoting behavior is an endpoint
or action outcome that is directed toward
attaining positive health outcomes such as
optimal wellbeing, personal fulfillment, and
productive living.
METAPARADIGMS
Nola Pender (HPM)- Ms Ritika
Pender’s health promotion model defines health as “a

Nola Pender (HPM)- Ms Ritika
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
• The Health Promotion Model is simple to
understand yet it is complex in structure.
• Nola Pender’s nursing theory gave much focus on
health promotion and disease prevention making
it stand out from other nursing theories.
• It is highly applicable in the community health
setting.
• It promotes the independent practice of the
nursing profession being the primary source of
health promoting interventions and education.
Weaknesses
• The Health Promotion Model of Pender was not
able to define the nursing metaparadigms or the
concepts that a nursing theory should have, man,
nursing, environment, and health.
• The conceptual framework contains multiple
concepts which may invite confusion to the
reader.
• Its applicability to an individual currently
experiencing a disease state was not given
emphasis.
Nola Pender (HPM)- Ms Ritika
Conclusion
• Due to its focus on health promotion and
disease prevention per se, its relevance to
nursing actions given to individuals who are ill
is obscure. But then again, this characteristic
of her model also gives the concepts its
uniqueness.
