Evidence of Empirical Testing
Susan Miller
Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model has been used by numerous nursing scholars and researchers, and has been useful in explaining and predicting specific health behaviors. McEwen & Wills (2011) note that most research studies used Pender's work as one component of a conceptual framework for study. A CINAHL search in 2008 revealed listings for 235 English language articles that used or applied Pender’s HPM during the previous decade.
