Abstract

Health education has long been recognized as an important function of nursing practice. The use of nursing theories with health education groups has been less well explored. At this time there has been an increasing emphasis on basing nursing practice on nursing theory. The authors applied the theories of Hildegard Peplau and Dorothea Orem to two different health education groups to illustrate utility of these two theories to guide nursing practice.
