Theoretical Framework

Theories are formulated to explain, predict, and understand phenomena and, in many
cases, to challenge and extend existing knowledge within the limits of critical bounding
assumptions. The theoretical framework is the structure that can hold or support a theory of
a research study. The theoretical framework introduces and describes the theory that
explains why the research problem under study exists.

Theory of Health Promotion

A theory presents a systematic way of understanding events. It is a set of concepts, definitions, and
propositions that explain such events by demonstrating the relationships between variables.

The theory behind the HPM is that you have personal experiences that affect your actions. There are
three main focuses of the HPM: individual experiences, behavior-specific knowledge and affect, and
behavioral outcomes. The factors that are associated with the HPM are mainly an individual's lifestyle,
outlook, psychological health, social and cultural traits, as well as biological factors. Health-promoting
behavior is the ideal behavioral outcome, making it the end point in the HPM.
