    Study Notes

    CORE 1: Better Health for Individuals

    • Health is the state of an individual's mind, body, and feelings; not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
    • Dimensions of health:
      • Physical: Effective functioning of the body, enabling daily activities and freedom from illness. (e.g., gym, healthy diet)
      • Mental: Ability to process information for decision-making, with a positive outlook and purpose in life.
      • Social: Ability to interact with others, demonstrating communication skills. (e.g., friendships, family)
      • Emotional: Capacity to cope with changes and express emotions appropriately.
      • Spiritual: Finding meaning and purpose in life, feeling connected to others and communities.

    Relative and Dynamic Health

    • Relative: Health is judged in comparison to others or past selves.
    • Dynamic: Continual change in health, from critically unwell to full health. Minutes-to-minutes changes occur, including illness, accidents, and environmental factors.

    Perceptions of Health

    • Perceptions: Factors shaping an individual's view of health include family, education, culture, religion, community, and social media.
    • Judgments of others' health are influenced by appearance; however, judging others by their exterior can lead to inaccurate conclusions. Understand the circumstances of others to gain a better comprehension of a person's health status.
    • Social media can create perceptions that differ from reality. Consider both positive and negative aspects of these media.

    Perceptions of Health of Others

    • Individuals form judgments of others' health based on their values and beliefs.
    • Individuals may judge their own health similarly.
    • Judging others based solely on appearance can be inaccurate.
    • Understanding the circumstances is important for accurate evaluation of people's health.

    Perceptions of Health as Social Constructs

    • An individual's view of health is influenced by social, economic, and cultural backgrounds.
    • Socioeconomic status (income, education, employment) affects health.
    • Geographic location influences access to healthcare services.
    • Cultural background shapes health perceptions.

    Health Behaviours of Young People

    • Australian health has been improving over time, in part through technological advancement.
    • Road-related injuries have remained relatively constant despite improved technology.
    • Self-harm and suicide rates have increased, particularly among 16-17 year-old females.
    • Sexual health is improving with growing awareness of contraceptive methods.

    Critical Question 2: The Detriments of Health

    • Social determinants are conditions affecting health, including where individuals grow, live, work, and age.
    • Individual knowledge and skills can impact health behaviors.
    • Genetics play a role in health risks.
    • Health behaviors include habits like eating, physical activity, and drug use.

    Health as a Social Construct (Interrelationship Between Determinants)

    • Family, peers, and media influence individual behaviors and attitudes toward health.
    • The community exerts a significant influence on individual values and health choices.
    • People's social background heavily impacts their view, perceptions, and approaches towards health.
    • Understanding health as social necessitates recognizing the critical interplay of knowledge, skills, behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, and values in shaping individual health.

    Challenges to Responsibility for Health

    • Health promotion acknowledges that the belief that health solely falls on the individual limits the effectiveness.
    • Health promotion, in contrast, is more comprehensive, encompassing social, economic, and environmental factors.

    Health Promotion Approaches

    • Health promotion aims to achieve better health for individuals and all communities.
    • Promoting health is a process to prevent illness and advance health.
    • Encouraging responsibility for one's health is part of a comprehensive approach.

    Health Determinants (Modifiable and Non-Modifiable)

    • Modifiable factors can be changed (e.g., lifestyle choices).
    • Non-modifiable factors cannot be altered (e.g., genetics).

    Developing Personal Skills

    • Health initiatives can improve personal health through campaigns.
    • Supportive environments, like proper safety procedures, influence positive health choices.
    • Communities must take action to empower themselves and build environments promoting well-being.

    Building Public Health Policies

    • Policies can advance healthier choices by promoting positive behaviors.
    • Law, taxation, and community awareness can decrease risky behavior.
    • Promoting safer behaviors with policies and interventions.

    Developing Personal Skills (Road Injuries)

    • Compulsory usage of seatbelts.
