Over time, "health" has been redefined based on individual perspectives. Health is
diverse because each religion and culture interprets it differently. Each thought will help
academics and medical experts study the human body's health balance (Svalastog et al., 2017).
Healthcare professionals must comprehend and adapt medical therapy and sickness prevention to
individual health beliefs. The outer environment and inside health may be linked. Some say
wellness balances mind and body. Promoting health encourages people and nations to embrace
healthy lifestyles based on socioeconomic variables (Svalastog et al., 2017, p. 433).
Advanced practice nurses must embrace and understand their patients' multifaceted health
concepts to provide actual care without prejudice, bias, or personal judgment.
Advanced practice nurses also work as patient advocates. Marshall et al. (2015) think they can
build successful therapy if they know how each person interprets health promotion. They are also
educators, midwives, advocates, healers, and counselors. Therefore, APRNs must understand and
respect many cultural and religious conceptions. I'm interested in Nola J. Pender's health
promotion model (HPM). Her method focuses on qualities and experiences, behavior-specific
cognitions and emotions, and behavioral outcomes (Khodaveisi et al., 2017). Dr. Pender believed
that human attributes and life experiences impact everyone's conduct. Khodaveisi and his
colleagues used HPM to study healthy behavior and obesity. It showed improved health and
conduct. The control group's unhealthy eating habits were replaced by nutritious knowledge.
People will appreciate HPM because it emphasizes teaching and reinforcement. It affects their
concept of health promotion and sickness prevention through behavior and contact. HPM
analyzes human and environmental variables to build the best health promotion.

Hi, Charity.
Each individual may have their own idea of what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. I appreciate you
taking the time to describe your health situation to us. As a result of the pandemic, health
education is crucial for enhancing people's standard of living and preventing illness (Van den
Broucke, 2020). Therefore, the medical community's attention has been directed toward
everyday lifestyle choices. By "healthy habits," we mean the set of actions and attitudes an
individual takes to improve their health and avoid illness. To live a healthier life, one must first
adopt a healthier outlook. It will take time and effort, according to the report, because human
behaviors are difficult to modify for a variety of reasons, especially among the elderly. Van den
Broucke (2020) suggests that variables including age, gender, marital status, income, level of
education, the specifics of the scenario, and the quality of relationships between people are all
potential contributors. I think it's important to ask the government for money to support ongoing
community education. The costs associated with lifestyle-related chronic diseases will go down
over time, resulting in financial benefits. We also need to refine and adapt social media to
provide more useful advice on nutrition and lifestyle. People need to be taught how to live a
healthy life and find balance. This is an ongoing process, but I think that every effort, no matter
how small, will make the community better.

Hi, Christa.
Thank you for elaborating on the significance of an individual's outlook on health and health
concerns. The evidence you presented on the elements that affect people's awareness of health
issues was really strong. You've done a great job of validating some of the things that affect
people's views about health. As a whole, the wellness-illness continuum is most effectively
handled when nurses apply care techniques that are consistent with patients' actual experiences. I
think the eudaimonic model of health considers all facets of a person's existence, including their
physical, social, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Integrative forms of treatment at the
personal, community, and societal levels are all made possible by environmental factors
(Edelman & Kudzma, 2018, p. 25). The pursuit of eudaimonia has deep roots in the evolution
and well-being of humankind. Elliott (2016) stresses the significance of taking one's own unique
perspective into account when dealing with health issues. You've done a great job of validating
the importance of these factors in shaping people's views on health. In order to effectively
manage the wellness-illness continuum as a whole, nurses need to employ care techniques that
can coexist with patients' actual experiences. The physical, social, psychological, and spiritual
domains all interact to form the eudaimonic model of health. Environmental factors support
health via holistic treatment approaches at the personal, community, and societal levels (Edelman
& Kudzma, 2018, p. 25). Human flourishing, or eudaimonia, can be traced all the way back to
antiquity. Elliott (2016) states that the theoretical foundations of this system come from the
following six areas of science. Lastly, many people's mental health can be improved thanks to
research into clinical and intervention programs.
