Research progress of nurses' health-promotion behaviors based on a proactive health perspective

Abstract

Abstract:

As the core workforce of the medical system，nurses persistently face multiple health threats including high-intensity work pressure，circadian rhythm disruption，and occupational exposure risks，manifesting a notable phenomenon of "health guardians losing their own health defenses". Optimizing nurse’ health-promotion behaviors holds dual significance for improving healthcare quality and stabilizing nursing human resources. In this context，the introduction of the "Proactive Health" concept offers a new pathway to address this dilemma. Breaking through the traditional "passive treatment" model，this philosophy advocates establishing a full-cycle health promotion loop of "prevention-intervention-maintenance" through three-dimensional coordination of early risk identification，behavioral intervention，and environmental support. From the perspective of proactive health，this paper reviews the definition，assessment tools，and influencing factors of nurses' health-promotion behaviors，while proposing corresponding intervention strategies. The findings aim to provide theoretical foundations and practical references for enhancing nurses' health status and stabilizing nursing workforce resources，carrying substantial practical significance for implementing the "Healthy China" strategy in healthcare fields.
