Results:
A total of 660 articles were identified, with eight articles included in the final sample. The evidence highlighted the applicability of the Health Promotion Model in various contexts: dietary behaviors in individuals with hypertension, healthy aging, breastfeeding in first-time mothers, and educational programs aimed at improving behavior and increasing knowledge in individuals living with HIV.
Conclusions:
The synthesis of the nursing literature that applied Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model in primary care demonstrated that the model provides a valuable framework for implementing nursing interventions focused on health-promoting behaviors and increasing individuals' engagement in their own health care.
