Nursing value 2 – Health Promotion and Prevention

I believe one of the main causes of illnesses is ignorance. There is a great need for public awareness of what standards to follow in ensuring good health. This begins with the individuals knowing what could affect their health, like lifestyle, public policies, environmental hazards, community resources available, lifestyle choices, and risk factors. This includes promoting awareness about nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and avoiding harmful habits such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. I would like to focus on health promotion and disease prevention, not just treating illnesses. Proactively making efforts and coming up with evidence-based strategies to enhance and maintain people’s health.
