The WHO defines health as ―…the extent to which an individual or group is able, on the o @


ne hand, to realize aspirations and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand, to change or cope
@ @


with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the obj
@ @ @


ective of living; it is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well
@ @ @ @ @ @


as physical capacities.‖ Nurses‘ attitudes toward health and illness should account for the to
@


tal person, as well as the environment in which the person lives. People free of disease are @


not equally healthy. Views of health have broadened to include mental, social, and spiritual
@ @


well-
being, as well as a focus on health at family and community levels. Conditions of life, rathe
@ @


r than pathological states, are what determine health.
