The purpose of this study was to understand the concept of health promotion and perceptions related
to the integration of health promotion in nursing practice in Pakistan. The study utilized the
qualitative single case study approach to explore and describe the concept of health promotion, its
significance and ways to integrate health promotion strategies in nursing practice. The data were
collected from three different sources; focus group discussion among final year Post-RN BScN students,
key informant interviews of practicing nurses, faculty, and MScN students, as well as a
document review of the Post-RN BScN curriculum. Data analysis included a content and thematic
analysis, yielding four major themes—”Health Promotion as Diverse”, “Health Promotion as Necessary”,
“Health Promotion as Nursing Role”, and “Health Promotion as a Strategic Imperative”.
Further, the findings highlighted the competencies, support mechanisms, and barriers which select
nurses faced while integrating the health promotion strategies in practice
