Abstract
The study examined the level of knowledge of health among hospital nurses in Jordan. Four focus group discussions were carried out with hospital nurses. The findings identified three themes: health as the freedom from illness, health as good social and psychological well-being, and health as a good environment to live in. The nurses in this study had no knowledge of spiritual and socioeconomic aspects of health. Our study shows that nurses' knowledge of health is often triggered by casework as opposed to a general learning of health-related issues. Hospital nurses in health promotion are unlikely to be very knowledgeable until they fully have a coherent understanding of sociocultural and environmental determinants of health.
