  • Title: The Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior: a model for advanced practice nurses.
    Author: Mathews SK, Secrest J, Muirhead L.
    Journal: J Am Acad Nurse Pract; 2008 Aug; 20(8):415-22. PubMed ID: 18786016.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To present the Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior (IMCHB) as a model to guide nurse practitioners (NPs) in their practice. DATA SOURCES: Selected research-based articles on Cox's IMCHB and selected text and writings on the NP movement and nursing practice models. CONCLUSIONS: Many NPs practice in a medical setting where the boundaries between medicine and nursing are blurred. The IMCHB offers a nursing model to guide NPs in their practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: A nursing model that examines the elements of client uniqueness and assesses the interaction between NP and client can achieve positive health outcomes.
