Assumptions
  • All families possess capabilities or the health potential (strengths, motivation, resources) that serve as the basis for health promotion behaviour. 
  • The degree to which a family engages in health-related problem-solving and goal attainment, reflects the process of family health promotion.
  • The outcomes of health promotion are competence in health behaviour and improved health status.
Major Concepts (Gottlieb & Rowat, 1987)
  • The central goal of nursing is to maintain, strengthen, and develop the patient's health by actively engaging him or her in a learning process.
  • Health is a learned phenomenon and the family is considered the primary socializer in this learning, the family is the focus of nursing.
  • The nurse strives to structure a learning environment that enables the patient to participate as fully as possible.
  • The nurse and patient together set goals and, building on the patient's strengths and resources, devise means of achieving them.
