Health is a product of the interactions between many factors, including such things as biology, heredity, personal history, lifestyle, situational factors such as family circumstances, health resources and the way we choose to utilise those resources. The conditions which precipitate favourable or unfavourable outcomes from the myriad combinations of these factors, are found within our environment. This lecture paints a mosaic of health and health care where nurses play a feature role in the maintenance of healthy people and healthy places.Health is a product of the interactions between many factors, including such things as biology, heredity, personal history, lifestyle, situational factors such as family circumstances, health resources and the way we choose to utilise those resources.
