WHO defines health as “. . .the extent to which an individual or group is able, on the one
hand, to realize aspirations and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand, to change or cope
with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the
objective of living; it is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as
well as physical capacities.” Nurses’ attitudes toward health and illness should consider
the total person, as well as the environment in which the person lives. People free of
disease are not equally healthy. Views of health have broadened to include mental, social,
and spiritual well-being, as well as a focus on health at family and community levels.
Conditions of life, rather than pathological states, are what determine health.
DIF: Knowledge REF: 2
OBJ: Discuss ways that definitions of health have been conceptualized.

Increasingly, policy advocacy is incorporated into nursing role statements and nursing

public policies. Disease prevention, health promotion, and concepts of determinants of
health are integral parts of nursing curricula.
