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 objective

ofliving; it is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b



capacities.” Nurses’ attitudes toward health and illness should account for the total person, as
