Abstract:
Health promotion is one of many strategies deployed by nurses. Documents and field experience suggest a partial integration of such interventions. A detailed analysis of available literature shows that such an assertion might be premature for three reasons: 1) the integration of health promotion in nursing has been the subject of only a limited number of empirical studies, 2) definitions of health promotion developed through nursing are some of the most frequently quoted and 3) elements of contemporary discourse are often enclosed in these definitions. The discussion examines the gap between the discourse and the practice of health promotion. This analysis concludes to a pluralism of paradigms in nursing; a situation due to the width of the grounds covered by the discipline. Recommendations and stakes are addressed.
