Social learning theory emphasize the role of social variables. This study was attempted study attempts to in-crease the understanding the influence of social learning theory to health and nursing science through comparative demonstration of the health locus of control, health belief model, and health promotion model.
Most frequently used concepts of social learning theory in nursing science were locus. of control developed by Julian Rotter and self-efficacy and modeling developed by Albert Bandrua.
The concept of health locus of control is useful for predicting health behavior and health state. Self-efficacy is the belief that one has the skill and competence to carry out specific action. Recent studies provide the evidence to suggest that self-efficacy is strongly related to health behavior. The application of self-efficacy will change personal health related behavior in nursing practice. Modeling techniques decrease client´s anxiety, pain, and distress in nursing practice. Many researches on the applications of these concepts based on the social learning theory have been performed in nursing science. In summary social learning theory is very useful for planning health promotion programs.
Recommendation for future research includes the development of instrument and program developing research using these concepts in nursing practice.
