Medical Organization and Hygiene Education

Study Notes

Public Health Nursing is integrated with the Department of Health in the Philippines, focusing on disease diagnosis and preventive treatments.
Encourages education on personal hygiene to empower individuals in managing their health.
The role of public health nurses is crucial within the structure of the country's healthcare system.

Health promotion and disease prevention rely on behavioral models, which highlight that information alone is insufficient for motivating health actions.
Health Belief Model: Individuals act based on their perception of health risks and benefits.
Health Promotion Model: Emphasizes the importance of interpersonal interactions in health behavior.
Social Learning Theory: Focuses on learning through observation and modeling from others.
General Systems Theory: Analyzes systems, not limited to health; considers outputs, throughputs, and subsystems.

Established in 2000, the MDGs aimed at poverty reduction and sustainable development, based on values like freedom, equality, and health.
Goals include improving maternal health, combating diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and promoting gender equity.
Equality is emphasized as a vital element in achieving these goals.

Transtheoretical Model: Proposes that behavior change occurs over time in stages. Individuals can progress, regress, or remain in a stage.
PRECEDE-PROCEED Model: A structured approach for community diagnosis and program implementation, distinguishing between predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors before implementation.

The World Health Organization identifies various determinants of health:
- Genetics: Biological factors influencing health.
- Gender: Impacts health behaviors and outcomes.
- Location: Affects access to healthcare and resources.
- Culture: Influences health practices and beliefs.
Economic, political, and environmental determinants are also recognized but not limited to individual perceptions.
