Pender’s health promotion model (HPM) offers a theoretical framework for exploring the multiple factors affecting health behaviors, such as treatment adherence. This is why this writing survey was created.Method: Use PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct, and Scopus to find reviews of previous research. The search criteria that were utilized to locate papers were diabetic, diabetes mellitus, health promotion model, increasing, and adherence. Search parameters for English-language, full-text, open-access publications released between 2019 and 2024.Results: The importance of this study is that factors affecting treatment adherence in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients are identified in different dimensions. So, we can design an effective relevant intervention through needs assessment and using the most appropriate methods to improve adherence to treatment in DM patients based on HPM.Conclusion: Pender’s HPM, have been effective in improving commitment to a plan of action. Moreover, managers, planners and healthcare policymakers and other relevant authorities are advised to consider the implementation of detailed training programs based on Pender’s HPM to improve treatment adherence and other relevant factors and increase patients’ contribution to health promotion.
