Inequalities in people's health due to economic or social circumstances remain a persistent challenge in the UK, with people from disadvantaged communities disproportionately likely to die earlier and experience more health issues than the general population. Health promotion has a vital role in reversing health inequalities and requires a focus on structural and political-level determinants of health, rather than individuals' lifestyle choices. However, while health promotion is a significant aspect of nurse education curricula, individual nurses may experience role confusion regarding the application of health promotion in their practice. Therefore, a shift is required in nurse education and training on health promotion, as well as its practical implementation. This article suggests some approaches that could be taken to reconfigure the role of nurses in health promotion.
由于经济或社会环境导致的人们健康方面的不平等现象在英国仍然是一个持续存在的挑战，来自弱势群体的人们比一般人群更早死亡和面临更多健康问题的可能性不成比例。健康促进在扭转健康不平等方面发挥着至关重要的作用，需要关注健康的结构性和政治层面决定因素，而不是个人的生活方式选择。然而，尽管健康促进是护士教育课程的一个重要方面，但个别护士在将健康促进应用于实践时可能会感到角色混淆。因此，需要在健康促进的护士教育和培训及其实际实施方面进行转变。本文提出了一些可以用来重新配置护士在健康促进中的角色的方法。
