Concepts of health and the health promoting role of the perioperative nurse.
Health promotion is an important part of the work of a wide range of healthcare professionals. The United Kingdom Central Council (UKCC 1983) states that education is a statutory responsibility and one of the most important and challenging aspects of the nurse's role. The nurse has a professional as well as a moral responsibility to educate for health as well as to care for the sick (UKCC 1994).
