The WHO defines health as ―…the extent to which an individual or group is able, on the one ha
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


nd, to realize aspirations and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand, to change or cope with the e
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


nvironment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living;
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


it is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacitie
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


s.‖ Nurses‘ attitudes toward health and illness should account for the total person, as well as the
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi f


environment in which the person lives. People free of disease are not equally healthy. Views of
i fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


health have broadened to include mental, social, and spiritual well-
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


being, as well as a focus on health at family and community levels. Conditions of life, rather tha
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi


n pathological states, are what determine health.

Increasingly, policy advocacy is incorporated into nursing role statements and nursing educatio

problems, policies that would help to alleviate health problems, and how nursing champions pu
