This comprehensive new edition delves into the latest advancements in health education and patient self-management, tackling fundamental questions such as: How can we motivate patients to adopt healthier lifestyles, and how can we support their self-management efforts? While there is a widespread agreement among nursing professionals regarding the significance of health promotion and self-management, they often face challenges in understanding the theoretical and practical aspects involved, as well as selecting the most appropriate interventions and evaluating their outcomes.

The book takes a holistic approach to health, examining it from the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels, alongside epidemiological health indicators. The subsequent chapters delve into the realms of prevention, health promotion, and self-management, while also providing a broad overview of prevention.

The book then turns its attention to the development and objectives of health promotion and health education. The Intervention Mapping protocol serves as a foundational framework, addressing questions such as how to encourage patients to adopt healthier behaviors. Subsequently, the field of health promotion expands to encompass disease prevention, patient education, and self-management. Based on patients' specific needs, the book provides detailed descriptions of methods and interventions aimed at promoting self-management. Special emphasis is placed on self-management and chronic health problems, as well as the role of the patient's social network in supporting self-management and the utilization of eHealth technologies.

Lastly, the book explores the interconnectedness between nursing and health promotion, as well as disease prevention, diagnoses, interventions, and care outcomes. Additionally, this edition includes two valuable training modules: "Promoting Patient Self-Management" and "Understanding the Role of the Nursing Professional."

By embracing these latest developments and insights, healthcare professionals can enhance their ability to empower patients and promote optimal health outcomes.
