The health promotion model was developed as a complementary counterpart to existing health promotion models. It defines health as a positive dynamic state, not simply the absence of disease. Health promotion seeks to enhance patient well-being by describing the multifaceted nature of people as they interact in their environment in search of well-being. Pender’s model focuses on characteristics and individual experiences, cognitions and specific effects of behavior, and behavioral outcomes. In childhood obesity medicine, it is essential to emphasize the need for prevention from an early age to recognize preconditions. In addition, behavioral affects are perhaps more important than other parameters because they set healthy eating and health habits for children (Fidanci et al., 2017). Healthy patterns will become companions in children’s lives and allow them to develop resilience to adverse factors. Using this approach will solve the lack of control and reduce the prevalence of obesity.

The theory uses a psychodynamic nursing understanding of one’s behavior to help others become aware of their difficulties. For patients with psychological illnesses, taking on a model of human relationships and understanding the need for help can be crucial to treatment. This theory will create a safe space for the patient and staff and improve the relationship and understanding of each other’s needs (Hagerty et al., 2017). Its use is justified by the effectiveness of using movement to meet impaired needs. The nurses will become the conduit for every activity push the patient makes. The interpersonal approach will be an opportunity to address the patient’s problems and develop new strategies for support and improvement. In the case of cognitively impaired patients, the nurse’s leadership role will become central, and how the nurse handles it will build the patient’s healing strategy.
