Health Promotion in Nursing Practice offers a practical, evidence-based guide to promoting health within diverse racial, ethnic, cultural and economic populations, across the lifespan. It discusses individual and community health promotion models, strategies for implementing and evaluating programs, and the evolving role of digital technology in improving efficacy. Learning activities and resources challenge students to think creatively to advance health promotion in nursing.

The 8th Edition focuses on increasing access to innovative health programs for all populations, especially those most vulnerable. It also promotes active self-care among individuals and within communities. The authors draw on the latest research and theoretical advances to recommend scientifically sound health promotion and prevention services.
