Study Notes
Epidemiology and Rehabilitation (PT-110) Prevention Planning
Levels of Prevention
- Primordial prevention
- Primary prevention
- Secondary prevention
- Tertiary prevention
Primordial Prevention
- Done before the disease onset, mainly in childhood.
- Aims to prevent the development of risk factors for the disease.
Primary Prevention
- Involves changing lifestyle and promoting health.
- Implemented in the pre-pathogenic phase of a disease.
Secondary Prevention
- Focuses on the pathogenic phase of a disease
- Emphasizes early diagnosis and referral
- Includes treatment and disability limitation and rehabilitation.
Tertiary Prevention
- Focused on the pathogenic phase.
Screening Programs
- Screening identifies apparently healthy people with a chance of a disease/condition.
- Operates like a sieve, separating people likely to have a condition from those who don't;
- Is not 100% accurate. It provides a probability that a person is at risk and not a certainty.
Screening as a Sieve
- Illustration shows people moving through a "sieve" with some individuals being filtered out as screened positive or negative.
Aims of Screening Programs
- Reduce mortality through early detection and treatment.
- Reduce the incidence of a condition by identifying and treating precursors.
- Maximize patient choice with early identification of conditions/risk factors, allowing for effective treatment and reduced severity.
Screening vs. Early Diagnosis
- Screening targets those without symptoms for possible disease.
- Early Diagnosis targets those with symptoms of possible disease.
Rehabilitation
- A health service for people experiencing a decline in function due to illness, injury, surgery, disability or age.
- Aims to help people regain, maintain, or improve functioning to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Rehabilitation Team
- Includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, audiologists, orthotists, prosthetists, clinical psychologists, physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors, and rehabilitation nurses.
- Can vary between countries.
Rehabilitation as Treatment and Prevention
- A health strategy for all since everyone experiences health problems at some point in life.
- Aims to enhance capacity instead of curing, which can promote health and prevent decline.
Rehabilitation Includes
- Preventing loss of function, restoring function, and increasing or maintaining current function.
Rehabilitation Across Life Span
- Children with congenital or developmental disorders, or injuries benefit from continued education.
- Adults with health or work-related injuries can return to work through rehabilitation.
- Older adults benefit from rehabilitation to maintain independence, promote active aging and improve physical or mental functioning.
