Ebook KDM : Fundamentals of health promotion for nurses ; Second Edition

---

This book is intended to clarify for new nurses the importance of developing public health and
health promotion skills. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has established standards of
competence and specific skills that student nurses must be able to perform (NMC, 2010). One
of the NMC standards for pre-registration education states that:

All nurses must understand public health principles, priorities and practice in order to rec-
ognise and respond to the major causes and social determinants of health, illness and

health inequalities. They must use. health screening, health promotion, and promote social
inclusion.

(NMC, 2010)

Part of the reason why health promotion and public health have assumed increasing impor-
tance in nursing is a consequence of changing understandings of medicine and health care and

the importance of reducing preventable illness and deaths. Infection-control measures, the
modification of unhealthy lifestyles and the appropriate use of health services can offer a
cheaper solution to demands for health care and threats to individual health. Health promotion
and public health can seem a vast area of new knowledge and skills that may also be difficult
to put into practice. The nurse needs to use a range of information and data to assess needs,
promote access to services and identify effective ways to promote health. It is also expected
that all nurses will use their communication and interpersonal skills to encourage patients to
adopt healthier behaviours. Changing behaviour is a challenge for patients and may also be so
for the nurse and this requires an understanding of the social and psychological dimensions of
lifestyle change.
