= Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model =

Four assumptions
Dorothy Pender used four main assumptions in the development of her theory known as Pender's Health Promotion Model (PHPM). They include:
 * 1) Individuals seek to actively regulate their own behavior.
 * 2) Individuals, in all their biopsychosocial complexity, interact with the environment, progressively transforming the environment as well as being transformed over time.
 * 3) Health professionals, such as nurses, constitute a part of the interpersonal environment, which exerts influence on people through their life span.
 * 4) Self-initiated reconfiguration of the person-environment interactive patterns is essential to changing behavior."

Pender's Health Promotion Model[edit | edit source]
The model was first published in 1982 and later revised in 1996 and 2002 for research, education, and practice. Research has been conducted on the model for 27 years. The Health Promotion Model is based on eight key components of nursing and include, person, environment, health, illnesses, individual characteristics and experiences, behavior-specific cognitions and affect, and behavioral outcome. The purpose of the model is to assist nurses in understanding factors that affect health-promoting behaviors. The model provides eight components for the nurse to evaluate.
