Mental Health and Dimensions of Health
- Mental health is not just the absence of mental illness, but also includes the ability to think clearly and coherently, with sound socialization in communities.
- Dimensions of Health include:
- Social dimension: social well-being, defined as the "quantity and quality of an individual’s interpersonal ties and the extent of involvement with the community".
- Spiritual dimension: connected to religious beliefs and practices, including personal integrity, principles, and ethics.
- Vocational dimension: related to work, with work promoting physical and mental health when adapted to human goals, capacities, and limitations.
- Emotional dimension: related to feelings.
Concept of Well-being
- Well-being includes:
- Objective components:
- Standard of living (income, occupation, housing, sanitation, nutrition, health, education, recreation, and other services).
- International responsibility (cooperation in health through PHC).
- Subjective component: Quality of life (including comfort, occupation, education, social and intellectual attainments, freedom of action, justice, and freedom of expression).
- Objective components:
Indicators of Health
- Mortality indicators (crude death rate, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, etc.).
- Morbidity indicators (incidence and prevalence rates).
- Disability indicators (health-adjusted life expectancy and disability-adjusted life year).
- Nutritional status indicators (anthropometric measurement of preschool children and prevalence of low birth weight).
- Health care delivery indicators (doctor-population ratio, bed-nurse ratio, population-bed ratio).
- Utilization rates (immunization coverage, antenatal care coverage, contraceptives prevalence rate).
- Indicators of social and mental health (rates of suicides, homicides, violence).
- Environmental indicators (air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution).
- Socio-economic indicators (dependency ratio, level of unemployment, family size).
- Health policy indicators (proportions of GNP spent on health services, safe water supply, sanitation, housing, nutrition).
- Quality of life indicators (Physical quality of life index).
Determinants of Health
- Socio-economic conditions (education, occupation, economic status, and political system).
- Health services (personal and community services for treatment of diseases, prevention of diseases, and promotion of health).
- Aging of the population (increased prevalence of chronic diseases and disabilities).
- Other determinants of health (science and technology, information and communication, gender, equity, social justice, human rights).
Responsibility for Health
- Individual responsibility (health activities, including promotion, maintenance, treatment, care, and health-related decision-making).
- Community responsibility (active involvement of families and communities in health matters).
- State responsibility (constitutional rights).
Determinants of Health (continued)
- Biological determinants (genetic constitution, chromosomal anomalies, errors of metabolism, mental retardation, etc.).
- Environmental factors:
- Biological (viruses, bacteria, fungi, mosquitoes, etc.).
- Physical (air, water, noise, altitude, etc.).
- Psychosocial (habits, beliefs, culture, custom, religion, etc.).
- Behavioral and socio-cultural conditions (lifestyle, habits, smoking, alcohol consumption, food habits, etc.).
- Level of living (health, food consumption, education, occupation, housing, social security, clothing, recreation, and human rights).
