  10. Health Promotion theory • Pender’s Model of Health Promotion • “Nola Pender developed her Health Promotion model after seeing professionals intervening only after patients developed acute or chronic health problems. She became convinced that patients' quality of life could be improved by the prevention of problems before this occurred, and health care dollars could be saved by the promotion of healthy lifestyles.” – Nursing Theory • Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program of Michigan • This program is directly modeled after Pender’s theory • Prevention is the key point addressed in both

  11. Role of the nurse • Promote preventative screening to all eligible women • Perform accurate health history • Offer support and referrals to women who have received a positive cancer screening How might this role be expanded? • Offer education to younger girls on the importance of having preventative screenings • Advocate for non-eligible women wanting preventative screenings

  12. Evaluation of program • Awesome program • Prevention helps lower healthcare costs by decreasing the amount of expensive procedures being used • Early detection of STDs decreases transmission rates and reduces the number of HPV cases becoming cervical cancer • Ways to strengthen program: • Offer selected services to younger age groups who are also at risk • Provide more awareness of the programs services • Offer incentives to get women to come in regularly for screenings • Have more educational material located on their websites about the program
