“…Nurse respondents reported that the content of their health promotion mainly focused on lifestyle risk factors. This was also found in other studies (Latter et al 1993, Sourtzi et al 1996, WHB 1999, Reeve et al 2004. The main strategies nurses reported using to promote health were similar to the traditional health education approach.…”

“…Many studies indicated that heavy workload (Gott & O'Brien 1990, Latter 1994, Evans 1998, Chan & Wong 2000, Doherty et al 2000 and low staffing levels (Hayes 1990, Mitchinson 1995, Doherty et al 2000 prevented nurses from developing their health promotion role. Other literature reported lack of time as a significant barrier (Treacy et al 1996, Thomson & Kohli 1997, Twinn & Diana 1997, Haddad & Umlauf 1998, Nagle et al 1999, Doherty et al 2000, Furber 2000, Sarna et al 2000, Flemming & Thompson 2002, Reeve et al 2004. Likewise, nurses in the current study reported lack of time and staff were barriers.…”

This paper presents an account of nurses' perceptions and understanding of health promotion in an acute setting. Background. Health promotion is considered the remit of every nurse. To engage in health-promoting practice, however, nurses need to understand the term 'health promotion' clearly. Method. A single qualitative embedded case study was used. Purposive sampling of eight nurses was employed. Initially, theses nurses were observed in practice and, following this, a semi-structured one-to-one interview was conducted with each observed nurse. Qualitative data analysis guided by work of Miles and Huberman was employed. Results. The data revealed one main theme: health-promoting nursing practice and this consisted of six categories and five subcategories. The findings indicated that nurses struggled to describe their understanding of health promotion, their understanding was limited and the strategies described to conduct health promotion were narrow and focused on the individual. Their perceptions and descriptions of health promotion were more in keeping with the traditional health education approach. Overall health promotion was reported to occur infrequently, being added on if the nurse had time. Factors relating to education, organizational and management issues were identified as key barriers prohibiting health-promoting nursing practice. Conclusions. Nurses must recognize that health promotion is a broad concept that does not exclusively focus on the individual or lifestyle factors. Nurses must be educated to recognize health-promoting opportunities in the acute setting, as well as how to plan for and conduct health promotion so that it becomes integral to practice. A review of the methods of organizing and delivering nursing care is also advocated. Relevance to clinical practice. Ward managers have an important role in supporting nurses, creating a culture for health promotion and sharing power in decisionmaking processes, so that nurses feel valued and empowered.

“…A literature search with TRA as theoretical framework predicting APNs' or NPs' intention to perform a behavior has not been as researched. Reeve, Byrd, & Quill (2004) studied health promotion attitudes and practices in Texas Nurse Practitioners. They found that Texas NPs have positive attitudes toward health promotion and support its practice.…”

“…There is minimal literature regarding APNs' awareness and attitudes toward screening adolescents for CSEC. One study did examine Texas NPs attitude and practice toward health promotion, revealed that NPs held positive attitudes toward health promotion and practice, only 60% screened and encouraged their patients due to a lack of time (Reeve, Byrd & Quill, 2004). Edinburgh and Saewyc (2009) presented data on the Runaway Intervention Program (RIP) from 2003-2004 with the first 20 patients enrolled.…”

Problem: Human trafficking or commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) is a global problem effecting every country including the United States. The impact of human trafficking while it is devastating to individuals, the impact goes well beyond individual victims and undermines the health, safety and security of all nations (U.S. Department of State Publication, 2007, p. 5).This research is an attempt to assess the knowledge of advance practice nurses or nurse practitioners (NP) in the subject of commercial sexual exploitation and their willingness to screen their patients who may be at-risk. Methods: The design was web-based with advanced practice nurses who are current and past members of the Sacramento Chapter of California Association for Nurse Practitioners (CANP) completed a pre-test, viewed an web-based educational intervention then completed the post-test and evaluation.Results: Demographics were 34 females and 3 males with an N = 37. The majority of APNs were older, worked in family practice and were even dispersed between hospital-based clinics, community clinics, school-based clinics and private practice. Three hypothesis emerged from the data: did the educational intervention make a difference? With a web-based design, did the younger APNs, 25-35 age group, do better than the older APNs, 56-65 age group? And finally, was there a statistical significance in the years of experience or did those with less than 10 years do as well as those with more than 10 years? There was no statistical significance with hypothesis 1 and 2 with p = 0.245 and p = 0.799. However, there is a statistical significance with years of experience. The data showed APNs with more than 10 years of experience did better than those with less than 10 years, p = 0.040. Based on evaluation results 85% of respondents
