Abstract
Health promotion is a crucial component of nursing education, equipping future nurses with the knowledge and skills to enhance well-being and prevent illness across diverse populations. However, the effectiveness of health promotion interventions specifically tailored for nursing students remains an area of ongoing inquiry. This systematic review aims to examine health promotion interventions designed for nursing students, focusing on their efficacy in advancing public health. Moreover, the review investigates factors influencing health promotion actions. An extensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus) was conducted to identify relevant studies published within the last decade. The review included 49 studies that provided information on the methodologies, results, and impact of interventions on students’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding health promotion. The analysis revealed that effective health promotion interventions for nursing students prioritize individual perspectives, foster empowerment, integrate health and social strategies, and actively involve the community. These interventions enhance students’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors towards health promotion, leading to improved communication, critical thinking, and cultural competence. The integration of technology and innovation is crucial for advancing health education, empowering students to adopt health-promoting behaviors and cater to their unique needs. The review highlights the criticality of incorporating health promotion principles into nursing curricula and providing students with the essential competencies to advocate for their own well-being. The findings highlight the need for further research to address the challenges of implementing effective health promotion interventions in nursing practice and to explore the long-term impact of these interventions on patient outcomes.
