The Health Belief Model addresses the relationship between a person's beliefs and behaviors. The Health Promotion Model notes that each person has unique personal characteristics and experiences that affect subsequent actions. The Basic Human Needs Model believes that the extent to which basic needs are met is a major factor in determining a person's level of health. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a model that nurses use to understand the interrelationships of basic human needs.
