The health promoting nurse

S Robinson et al. J Clin Nurs. 1998 May.

Abstract

This paper suggests that (i) the dominance of an individualistic philosophy of nursing, (ii) nurses' own perceptions of their role and (iii) the hospital:community divide are all obstacles to health promotion being well integrated into nursing practice. It explores how these obstacles need to be overcome in order for the new health promoting nurse to emerge in practice. This is an attempt to clearly demonstrate 'who' the health promoting nurse is, 'what' she/he does, 'how' she/he works and 'where' she/he works.
