title: What is the role of health promotion in nursing?
abstract: There is much confusion about the philosophical assumptions underlying nursing and health promotion. Effective health promotion strategies are based on the concepts of patient empowerment and the need for equal working relationships. The cultural climate of nursing may have to change if these principles are to be successfully adopted.
