Abstract:This article presents a personal reflection, exploring theoretical frameworks as the basis of understanding a range of influences on the personal health of the primary author, since beginning university as a student nurse. The work explores theoretical and lay definitions of health and wellbeing, before analysing influences on health from a personal perspective. The discussion analyses how individuals can take action to enhance their health and wellbeing, through understanding of theoretical frameworks. Crucially, personal understanding about managing health and wellbeing supports student nurses in their role of helping patients to explore and enhance their own health and wellbeing.
