Study Notes
Part I: Concept of Man
- Health (WHO definition): A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease.
- Personal health perspective: Defined by how a person feels, presence/absence of symptoms, and ability to perform activities; it's a dynamic and changing phenomenon.
- Health continuum: Health exists on a continuum, subject to gradual or abrupt changes, influenced by adaptive energy, genetics, and environment.
- Stressors: Internal or external, potentially harmful or beneficial, impacting physical, emotional, and social well-being; tolerance varies among individuals.
- Wellness maintenance: Individual's ideas, attitudes, and knowledge about health maintenance impact wellness levels.
- Adaptation to environment: Conscious and unconscious adaptation to environmental factors is necessary; the effectiveness of adaptation determines required assistance to maintain equilibrium.
- Individuals as systems: Individuals react holistically to stressors affecting any aspect of health; they are complex, open systems comprised of interconnected subsystems.
- Client needs & care determination: Clients have various basic needs—physiological, psychological, social, and spiritual—that must be addressed.
- Health problems/illness: Health problems are abnormal processes characterized by a change in a person's functional level compared to a past level; they are subjective, and only the person can determine if they're ill. They are synonymous with disease but not always caused by disease.
- Acute illness: Characterized by rapid onset and short duration; symptoms appear and subside quickly. Intervention may be necessary depending on the cause.
- Chronic illness: Lasts for extended periods (6 months or more), often a lifetime; may have slow onset, periods of remission (symptoms disappear) and exacerbation (symptoms reappear).
Factors Influencing Health & Illness (WHO)
- Social and Economic Environment:
- Income & social status: Higher status correlates with better health.
- Education: Lower education is linked to poorer health, more stress, and lower self-esteem.
- Social support: Strong family, friend, and community networks contribute to better health.
- Culture: Customs, traditions, and beliefs impact health.
- Health services: Accessibility and use of disease prevention and treatment services influence health.
- Physical Environment: Safe water, clean air, healthy workplaces, safe homes, and communities all contribute to good health. Safe employment and working conditions are crucial.
- Individual Characteristics & Behaviors:
- Genetics: Predisposition to health conditions.
- Personal behavior & coping skills: Influence health and well-being.
- Gender: Men and women experience different diseases at different ages.
Stages of Health Seeking Behavior (Igun)

Health Care Delivery Systems (HDS)
- Health care system: Organized people, institutions, and resources that deliver health care to target populations.
- HDS description: The organized societal response to population health problems.
- Levels of Prevention:
- Primary: Health promotion, disease prevention (e.g., immunization, smoking cessation, health education).
- Secondary: Diagnosis and early treatment (e.g., screenings like mammograms, pap tests, Mantoux).
- Tertiary: Rehabilitation, health restoration, palliative care (e.g., rehabilitation after stroke).
Factors Influencing Health Care Delivery
- Cost: A major driver for changes in the system, motivating managed care plans, outpatient treatments, and shorter hospital stays.
- Access: Limited access often leads to crisis-oriented and fragmented care.
- Safety and quality: Inappropriate substitution of unqualified personnel for nurses impacts safety and quality.
Part II: Nursing as a Profession
