The health career model is
essentially concerned with the person in a social
context. The notion of career derives from the
intervention of the nurse being future orientated,
increasing the health choices, health chances or
health prospects of individuals or groups (including
families) taking cognisance of the biography of the
person or persons being helped. The person already has
a biography that has been influenced by their physical
and psychological make-up, the kinds of families and
social networks they have experienced and the culture
or geographical location in which they live. The
health career is influenced by personal factors of the
individual of physical or psychological origin and
factors relating to the social world and the policies
that govern daily life. The model is in effect
situation focussed rather than person focussed
requiring that all the possible contributing factors
to the current situation and possible futures be
examined if only to be discounted.
