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.
