Study Notes
Who Uses Health Services and Why?
- Recognition of a symptom is the first step in the continuum of treatment-related behavior
- Interpretation of symptoms is a critical step in the decision to use health services
- Cognitive representations of illness influence an individual's perception of symptoms and treatment
Predictors of Use of Health Services
- Demographic factors, such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status, predict health service use
- Psychosocial factors, such as stress, anxiety, and social support, also influence health service use
- Enabling factors, such as access to healthcare and insurance, affect an individual's ability to use health services
Misuse of Health Services
- Misuse of health services occurs when individuals use health services for emotional disturbances rather than physical health needs
- Misuse of health services can lead to unnecessary medical interventions and negative health outcomes
Delay Behaviour
- Delay behaviour refers to the time between recognizing symptoms and seeking medical attention
- Delay behaviour can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, resulting in poorer health outcomes
- Factors that predict delay behaviour include demographics, psychosocial factors, and cognitive representations of illness
Patient-Provider Relations
- The patient-provider relationship is critical in healthcare delivery
- Effective communication is essential in patient-provider relations
- Factors such as trust, empathy, and respect influence patient-provider relations
Changes in Healthcare Delivery
- The holistic health movement and care focus on treating the whole person, rather than just the illness
- Changes in healthcare delivery philosophy have led to an increased emphasis on patient-centered care
- Barriers to care, such as cost, accessibility, and cultural differences, can affect an individual's ability to access healthcare
Patient Contributions to Poor Communication
- Patients may contribute to poor communication through factors such as lack of health literacy, language barriers, and anxiety
- Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings and negative health outcomes
Treatment Non-Adherence
- Treatment non-adherence occurs when patients do not follow treatment plans or medication regimens
- Factors that influence treatment non-adherence include demographics, psychosocial factors, and cognitive representations of illness
- Treatment non-adherence can lead to negative health outcomes and decreased quality of life
Placebo Effect
- The placebo effect is a phenomenon where inert substances or treatments produce real physiological effects
- The placebo effect can be influenced by factors such as expectation, conditioning, and social learning
- The placebo effect can be used to improve treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction
