In the current
literature, health promotion is a significant part of the
nursing roles (Kelley & Abraham, 2007; Mooney, Timmins,
Byrne, & Corroon, 2011; Whitehead, 2008) and
has been referred to as “health-promoting nursing practice”
and “nursing health promotion” but not clearly defined
(Casey, 2007a; Whitehead 2009).
