Feedback:
Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness Theory (Mishel, 1990) focuses on the concept of uncertainty—the inability of a person to determine the meaning of illness-related events. Pender's (2006) Health Promotion Model (HPM) focuses on explaining health-promoting behaviors, using a wellness orientation. An example of a model of nursing used by nurse researchers is Roy's Adaptation Model. Prochaska developed the Transtheoretical Model.
