    Health and Wellness Nursing, Healing, and Caring

    • The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a "state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (WHO, 1947).
    • Health is a state of being that people define in relation to their own values, personality, and lifestyle.
    • Each individual has a personal concept of health.
    • Individual views of health vary among different cultural orientations.
    • Life conditions can impact health positively or negatively before illness is evident.
    • Life conditions include socioeconomic factors like environment, diet, lifestyle practices, and other physiological/psychological variables.
    • Individual perceptions and definitions of health are influenced by health beliefs.
    • Health behavior can positively or negatively affect a patient's level of health.
    • Positive health behaviors maintain, attain, or regain health and prevent illness, including immunizations, proper sleep, exercise, stress management, and nutrition.
    • Negative health behaviors include harmful practices like smoking, drug or alcohol abuse, poor diet, and refusal of necessary medications.

    Models of Health and Illness

    • Nurses develop health models to understand patients' attitudes and values about health and illness, and to provide effective health care.
    • Nursing models assist in understanding and predicting patients' health behaviors, including their use of health services and adherence to recommended therapy.
    • Nurses use these models to individualize care plans for better health restoration/promotion.

    Health Belief Model

    • The health belief model examines the relationship between a person's beliefs and behaviors.
    • Example: A patient needs to recognize familial link for coronary artery disease.
    • A patient might not understand the seriousness of heart disease, affecting their self-care approach.

    Health Promotion Model

    • The Health Promotion Model (HPM) recognizes individual personal characteristics/experiences influencing actions.
    • Behavioral variables can be modified through nursing actions.
    • The HPM's desired outcome is health-promoting behavior.
    • Health-promoting behaviors result in improved health, enhanced functional ability, and better quality of life throughout all development stages.

    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    • Nurses use Maslow's Hierarchy to understand the interrelationships of basic human needs.
    • Basic human needs necessary for survival and health include food, water, safety, and love.

      • Spiritual factors: Spirituality is expressed in daily life, including values, beliefs, relationships, and hope, often through religious practices; religious practices may restrict medical interventions.
    • External variables:
      • Family practices: Family's view of disease seriousness influences patient's perception and care behaviors.
      • Socioeconomic factors: Social/psychological factors increase illness risk; health care access and costs are influenced by factors like high utility bills, family size, and low income.
      • Cultural background: Cultural background influences healthcare and treatment approaches.

      • Secondary: Interventions/actions taken with those already at risk or experiencing illness/problems to prevent further decline.
      • Tertiary: Actions taken with those with chronic conditions to maintain function and quality of life

    Risk Factors

    • A risk factor is any situation/habit/social/environmental state/condition/variable increasing illness vulnerability.
      • Genetic & Physiological: Inherited traits; physical conditions/body processes affect disease susceptibility.
      • Age: Age-related susceptibility to specific illnesses; children/adults have varied risks.
      • Environment: Surroundings play a part in individual and community health/illness risk; air, water, soil, and environmental condition can introduce hazards.

    Nurse's Role in Health Promotion, Health Protection, and Disease Prevention

    • Nurses play a key role in guiding healthy behavior, lifestyle changes, and patient recovery from illness.
    • Nurses should focus on health education, motivational concepts like self-efficacy and patient desires to improve or maintain health, illness prevention strategies, and support/guidance for health restoration and coping with changes.
