Abstract:
Motivation for health promotion is an essential concept in health care research, as it pertains to an individual's ability to adapt to the adversity of chronic illnesses, including cancer. Adopting Rodgers' evolutionary method of concept analysis, the objective of this article is to clarify the concept based on its existing operationalization noted in cancer survivorship literature. Through a close examination of the construction of the concept, this article facilitates the understanding of concept as it relates to the field of cancer survivorship care, which in turn helps provide guidance for developing health promotion intervention targeted at cancer survivors.
