Health motivation is the importance individuals place on their will to persevere, which consequently influences their choice of lifestyle. This article focuses on a relatively new conceptual model that explains cardiac patients' motivation when it comes to initiating and sustaining healthy lifestyle habits. Developed by McEwen in 1993, the Health Motivation Model proposes the following series of variables that influence motivation: previous knowledge, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived value of action, background variables, internal aids/hindrances, external aids/hindrances and the catalyst. If nurses understand these variables and analyze the patient's case study, they will be better to investigate the origin of cardiac patients' resistance to positive lifestyle changes.
健康动机是个体对自身坚持意愿的重视程度，这进而会影响他们的生活方式选择。本文聚焦于一个相对较新的概念模型，该模型解释了心脏病患者在开始并维持健康生活习惯方面的动机。健康动机模型由麦克尤恩于1993年提出，它提出了一系列影响动机的变量：先前知识、感知到的严重性、感知到的易感性、行动的感知价值、背景变量、内部助力/阻碍、外部助力/阻碍以及催化剂。如果护士了解这些变量并分析患者的案例研究，他们将能更好地探究心脏病患者对积极生活方式改变产生抵触的根源。
