Abstract

This study presents an integrative review of published research articles on positive health practices (PHP) as defined by Muhlenkamp and Brown. Using Cooper's guidelines for accomplishing an integrative review, 29 relevant studies concerning PHP were located, reviewed, and critiqued; theoretical and methodological issues emerging from the studies were identified. Directions for future research on PHP are specified. Implications for nursing practice derived from the research findings are addressed.
