Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory of Human Development
- Development occurs within complex environmental contexts or ecological systems.
- Ecological systems include relationships and cultural values that exert stability and influence over time.
- Recognizes that development is influenced by both personal and environmental factors.
Bronfenbrenner’s Four Ecological Systems
- Microsystem: Immediate environment, involving direct interactions with influential people like family and school.
- Mesosystem: Interconnections between multiple microsystems, influencing relationships between family, peers, and healthcare providers.
- Exosystem: External settings that indirectly impact individuals, such as workplace environments or community health policies.
- Macrosystem: The overarching cultural and societal values and policies that shape individual experiences and opportunities.
Impact of Environment on Health
- The ecological framework emphasizes the importance of considering broader environmental factors in health outcomes.
- Health professionals should address holistic environmental influences on health, particularly in pediatric populations.
Preparing for Future Modules
- The next focus will be on understanding normative and non-normative life changes and their impacts on development.
Dylan Alcott's Journey
- Experienced negative feelings towards his disability, including self-hatred and feelings of invisibility during his upbringing.
- Acceptance of his disability was facilitated by support from family, friends, and partner, leading to pride in his identity.
- Advocates for community action, emphasizing the need for funding NDIS and prioritizing disability in employment opportunities, highlighting twice the unemployment rate and lack of representation in society.
Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory
- Framework depicts individual development within a series of interrelated ecological systems, influencing personal growth over time.
- Development is shaped not just by individuals but significantly by their environments including social relationships, cultural contexts, and recurring life events.
Ecological Systems Overview
- Microsystem: The most immediate environment where individuals have direct interactions, including family, friends, and school.
- Mesosystem: Refers to the interconnections between different microsystems, such as relationships between family and healthcare professionals.
- Exosystem: Consists of external environments that affect an individual indirectly, for example, a parent's workplace and local government decisions.
- Macrosystem: Encompasses overarching cultural values, beliefs, and societal policies that influence all other systems.
Application of Bronfenbrenner’s Theory
- Microsystem influences can affect daily experiences in healthcare contexts, shaping a patient’s perception and health outcomes.
- Mesosystem reflects how relationships across different settings—such as hospitals and home—can work together or conflict, impacting care.
- Exosystem decisions impact patients indirectly, such as changes in healthcare policies or insurance that impact access to care.
- Macrosystem factors, including historical events and societal values, shape health and living conditions, evident in events like depressions or disasters.
Disability and Health Framework
- Recognizes high rates of overweight and obesity among children, emphasizing a multi-level approach to understand risk factors.
- Framework adapts Bronfenbrenner’s model to focus on how various environmental layers influence children with disabilities.
- Encourages healthcare professionals to adopt a comprehensive view of factors affecting child health—balancing individual behaviors with the influence of surroundings.
Conclusion on Disability and Ecology
- Pediatric overweight and obesity require a nuanced understanding of various interacting factors.
- By adopting a holistic view, healthcare professionals can develop better-targeted programs that consider all influences impacting children’s health and weight management strategies.
