Abstract
Current discussion of health promotion is based on multidisciplinary understanding, where values as equity, participation and empowerment are focused. Health promotion can be seen as a combination of research and development, challenging also nursing science as a discipline.

The aim is to deepen the vision of health promotion, health choices in particular, in the field of nursing science. Health choices refer to the person’s decision or act on everyday life, and they have direct or indirect connection to health and health consequences.

Nursing science is challenged to take account on research but also in practice individual health choices as a key factor to promote health equity and holistic understanding of human dignity.
