An aggressive approach to promoting health responsibility
Abstract:
1. A self-care framework is appropriate for nursing assessment of health-promoting lifestyle practices among older adults. 2. Older adults do accept responsibility for their own health and practice preventative and health-promoting behaviors. 3. This group of adults does plan changes in health habits. A significant number are able to sustain change in habits over time. 4. Nurses are not perceived as sources of health-promoting information or support for health activities by this age group. Nurses need to be more aggressive promoters of health for all adults to retain this very important component of nursing practice.
