Study Notes
Health Promotion
- Defined as a combination of health education and organizational, economic, and environmental support for individual, group, or community behavior that promotes health
- Motivated by the desire to increase well-being and achieve optimal health potential
- A key concept within the field of nursing science
Definitions of Health
- A state of complete physical, social, and mental well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (World Health Organization, 1958).
- The extent to which an individual or group can realize aspirations and needs, and adapt to or change their environment (World Health Organization, 1986).
Theories of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
- Pender's Health Promotion Model: Explores biopsychosocial factors that influence individuals toward health promotion activities, considering personal benefits and barriers to action.
- Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory: Focuses on an individual's belief in their own competence, which influences their goals and expectations. Self-efficacy plays a crucial role in motivating and guiding behavior.
-
Health Belief Model (HBM): Examines how individuals perceive health threats and risks, and how these perceptions influence their behavior. Key factors include:
- Perceived seriousness: How severe the individual perceives the health threat to be.
- Perceived susceptibility: How vulnerable the individual believes they are to the health threat.
- Perceived benefits of treatment: The individual's belief in the effectiveness of interventions to prevent or manage the threat.
- Self-efficacy: The individual's confidence in their ability to successfully engage in preventive or management behaviors.
Three Levels of Prevention
- Primary prevention: Aims to prevent health problems before they occur through health promotion and protection strategies.
- Secondary prevention: Focuses on early detection and intervention to identify and address health problems in their early stages through screening and treatment.
- Tertiary prevention: Concentrates on limiting the impact of existing health problems through rehabilitation, management, and prevention of deterioration.
Public Health Nursing
- ANA definition (2013): The practice of promoting and protecting the health of populations.
- Focus: Utilizing knowledge from nursing and public health fields to improve population health outcomes.
- Goals: Promoting health, preventing disease and disability, and ensuring health equity for all.
