Abstract
Objective: To describe a Conceptual Model of Nursing and Population Health about the intersection of nursing and population health. Methods: Review of literature and derivation of a new conceptual model. Results: The conceptual model concepts are upstream factors, population factors, health care system factors, nursing activities, and population health outcomes. Nursing activities mediate the indirect relations of upstream, population, and health care system factors with population health outcomes; in addition, health care system factors and nursing activities are directly related to population health outcomes. Implications for research methods, revisions in all levels of nursing education, and population-focused advances in nursing practice are identified. Conclusion: The strength of the model is its emphasis on attainment of the highest possible quality of life for populations, by means of nursing activities directed to promote or restore and maintain wellness across the life course and to prevent disease.
