Scientific Sessions

This session focuses on the essential role of health promotion, wellness strategies, and preventive medicine in reducing disease burden and supporting healthier populations. As healthcare shifts from treatment to prevention, nurses and healthcare professionals play a critical role in empowering individuals and communities to adopt healthier lifestyles and reduce risk factors for chronic and acute conditions. Key topics include behavior change frameworks, lifestyle modification, nutrition and physical activity interventions, preventive screenings, immunization programs, risk assessment tools, and community-based wellness initiatives. The session will also explore mental well-being, stress management, health education techniques, and strategies to address social determinants of health that influence long-term wellness. Participants will gain practical insights into designing and implementing prevention-focused programs, motivating patient engagement, and applying evidence-based approaches that promote sustainable habits and improve population health. Real-world case examples will highlight effective models that strengthen resilience, enhance quality of life, and reduce preventable diseases across diverse settings.
