“…DoH, 1999aDoH, ,b, 2003. Whitehead (2003Whitehead ( ,2006 echoes this concern in noting that nurses are failing to conceptualize the difference between health education and health promotion and contemporary meanings in favour of traditional perspectives. The contention here is that if this position persists, and if nurse educators consider the findings of this study transferable and that mainstream language is not being used, then the nursing voice may not be heard by other disciplines (Gottlieb, 1992) and may become 'invisible' (Falk Rafael, 1999, cited in Whitehead, 2006.…”

“…However, the socio-political factors such as inequalities (the 'invisible') must also be addressed (Morgan and Marsh, 1998;Robinson and Hill, 1998;Burke and Smith, 2000). Hence, Whitehead (2004Whitehead ( , 2006 contends that socio-political processes in the form of community development approaches to health promotion have superceded individualistic forms and nursing [and thus nurse education] should attempt to reflect this wider agenda. Such endeavour may also require alternative models of teaching (FalkRafael et al, 2004).…”

“…The nursing literature found confusion and inconsistency over the meaning of health promotion (Latter et al, 1992;Macleod Clark et al, 1991;Delaney, 1994;King, 1994;Maben and Macleod Clark, 1995;Norton, 1998;Whitehead, 2006) and a lack of a distinctive nursing focus (Berg and Sarvima¨ki, 2003). Morgan and Marsh (1998) noted the narrow definition of health promotion emphasising individual risk factors, lifestyle and responsibility.…”

SummaryThe definitions and meaning qualified nurses employed in an acute NHS hospital setting in the UK gave to health education and health promotion practice and how these fitted established language and theory were investigated qualitatively. These concepts, and the concomitant frameworks and models of practice, have been the subject of considerable debate in the literature. While unresolved both in general and in nursing, a degree of theoretical convergence was established in the 1990s [Bunton, R., Macdonald, G., 1992. Health promotion: disciplines and diversity. Routledge, London; Maben, J.M., Macleod Clark, J. 1995. Health promotion: a concept analysis. Journal of Advanced Nursing 22, 1158-165] helped by The Ottawa Charter [WHO, 1986. Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. http:// www.who.int/hpr/archive/docs/ottawa.html]. For many of the participants in this study however, the meanings given to these concepts and the predominant use of health education were inconsistent with much of the language of the wider debate and this has potential implications for nurse education. For, if the findings are considered transferable then there is a need to develop education strategies and curricula that articulate the ideological foundations of policy and practice and to use mainstream terminology to assist nurses both to understand and contribute to the contemporary health promotion debate.
