This course focuses on health behaviors of diverse populations and critical analysis of various theories
of health promotion and disease prevention. Health behaviors of different cultures and age groups are
addressed, relevant nursing research on health promotion and disease prevention is discussed, and new
areas for nursing research are identified. Emphasis is placed on the promotion of health, prevention of
illness, and environmental factors that impact health status. The importance of providing appropriate,
individualized health care that is sensitive to the ethnic, racial, gender, and age differences within and
across diverse populations is stressed and the role of the advanced practice nurse is emphasized.
RATIONALE

professionals, communities, government and society to adopt health promotion and prevention
strategies. Knowledge skills and abilities in the area of assessment, planning implementation and
evaluation are required to accomplish positive health promotion outcomes for individuals, families and
communities.
