— Health Promotion practices are essential strategies aimed at enhancing individual and public health through health communication, health education and health policy implementation. This research sought to determine the health promotion practices of Rural Health Unit nurses in Third District of Tarlac, recognizing the factors and problems in terms of health communication, health education and health policy implementation. Descriptive correlational study was utilized and was focused on finding the relationship of the demographic profile and health promotion practices of rural health nurses. Total enumeration method was used in the selection of the respondents. The study’s conclusions showed that many respondents are ages 35-49, female and are bachelor’s degree holder. In addition, this study emphasized the vital role of nurses in health promotion, particularly in rural settings, highlighting their effectiveness in communication, education, and policy implementation. The results suggested that demographic factors do not influence health promotion practices. Problems encountered are identified such as cultural health beliefs, faith on religious practices and social stigma and privacy issues influencing their ability to deliver optimal care. Addressing these issues are critical for sustainable public health improvement. Further research is recommended for further study to explore other health promotion practices to ascertain the results.
