Study Notes

Health Deficit

Results from an imbalance between a population's health needs and available health resources.
Can arise from deprivation or excess of critical health resources.
Example: 1 midwife serves 5000 people.

Health Belief Model (HBM)

Established in 1958 by US public health service social psychologists.
Aims to explain low participation rates in tuberculosis prevention programs.
Key concept: Perceived susceptibility refers to an individual's belief about the likelihood of developing a condition.

Influences on Individual Choices

Health behaviors stem from choices made to maximize valued resources.
Limited health-promoting options reduce the effectiveness of health education.
Health behaviors are shaped by actual and perceived choices influenced by socialization and education.

Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model

Developed in the 1980s and revised in 1996, emphasizing biophysical factors in health behaviors.
Does not include threats as long-term motivators.
Focuses on individual characteristics, behavior-specific cognitions, and outcomes of behaviors.

PRECEDE-PROCEED Model

Developed for public health application to assess community needs.
PRECEDE: Stands for Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling constructs in educational diagnosis.
PROCEED: Focuses on policy and organizational constructs for program implementation and evaluation.

Population Definitions and Metrics

Population Size: Number of people in a specified area at a specific time.
Population Distribution: Specific geographic area where the population resides.
Population Composition: Characteristics of the population including age, sex, and occupation.

Median Age

Age that divides a population into two equally sized groups.
Helps summarize age distribution within a population.

Dependency Ratio

Measures the pressure on the labor force by comparing non-working age groups to working age groups.
Formula: (Population under 15 + Population over 65) / Population aged 15-64 x 100.

Population Density

Calculated as population divided by total land area.
Represents the number of individuals per square kilometer or square meter.

Health Indicators and Vital Statistics

Vital Statistics record essential demographic events.
Include births, deaths, morbidity, mortality, migration, marriages, and divorces.
Timeliness is critical in data collection for accuracy and relevance.

Patterns of Disease Occurrence

Epidemic: Marked increase in disease incidence within a population.
Endemic: Consistent, habitual presence of a disease in a specific area.
Sporadic: Occasional outbreaks affecting a small subset of the population.
Pandemic: Widespread disease outbreak across multiple countries or continents.

Epi Curve

Graphical representation of disease incidence over time.
Horizontal axis indicates time of illness onset; vertical axis shows the number of cases.

Responsibilities of Nurses under RA 7164

Supervise and care for women during maternity stages.
Perform internal examinations and deliveries in emergencies.
Provide first aid and emergency care.
Analyze data to inform diagnosis and planning for health interventions.
Evaluate client responses to interventions for goal achievement.

Roles of Public Health Nurse

Assesses community health needs.
Provides education on health promotion and disease prevention.
