Abstract:
This thesis investigates whether the Health Promoting Hospital (HPH) is the way forward in the promotion of health. To address this, a number of key areas are considered. Firstly, the thesis places the HPH into historical context, as it is from a long the tradition of efforts to promote health and prevent disease that the HPH emerges. In order to understand the complex field of health promotion, the thesis examines the legacy of health promotion and its impact on contemporary health promotion and therefore on the potential of the HPH. The answers to this provide the immediate context from with

This thesis represents a study which began when the term health promotion first appeared in health authority policy documents but, at the same time it appeared to be a term little understood by those health care professionals deemed responsible for its implementation. Clarification of the concept of health promotion was pursued by the researcher using grounded theory methodology. Health visitors, health education officers/health promotion officers, and general practitioners participated in a series of group interviews and the data was analysed by cognitive mapping (Jones 1975), and constant co

Abstract:
This thesis examines contradictions in health promotion and workplace health promotion with a particular emphasis on the situation in Wales. The practice of health promotion has become bound up with the ideological bias towards the responsibility of the individual prevalent in current political thinking. This is at the expense of considering the social, cultural, and economic context within which individuals find themselves. This whole approach encourages health to be considered as a commodity which can be purchased by individuals who become consumers of health. Workplace health promotion is p

Abstract:
The concept of health promotion is an alternative and emerging orientation. Here the belief is that all people have strengths and are capable of determining their own needs, finding their own answers, and solving their own problems. Most health care professional have been educated in the medical model of health. In this model, the health care professional, especially the physician, plays an active part as an expert on disease; the patient or client has essentially a passive role, and the disease rather than the person is the focus.

Abstract:
As a field, health promotion has largely ignored how sex and gender contribute to one’s capacity to increase control over and improve one’s health—the very essence of health promotion. This dissertation urges health promoters to adopt an intersectional view of sex and gender as determinants of health and to develop interventions with explicit attention to improving gender equity. Doing so positions health promotion to improve social as well as health outcomes. To develop this argument, I use intersectional theory to inform: an historical account of the development of health promotion and docu
