Social Circumstances and Medical Systems in Healthcare

The traditional medical view of health focuses on the individual as a whole, incorporating social, psychological, and economic aspects.

The ecological concept of health views health as a constant state that does not change over time.

The WHO definition of health in 1948 emphasizes the importance of disease prevention and treatment.

The medicalization of society refers to the process of defining and treating medical conditions as social problems.

The ecological concept of health draws clear distinctions between healthy and unhealthy adaptations to the environment.

According to the given context, a person's physical health is always prioritized over their psychological well-being.

Providing fruit for young children is considered a parental responsibility for their health.

Cosmetic surgery is considered a legitimate medical goal in the pursuit of happiness.

The context assumes that parental behavior is the only cause of childhood obesity.

The context defines health as the mere absence of illness.

The case study-practice involves inspecting each case and discussing whether a person is healthy or ill.

The microsystem is the most distal influence on a child's development according to Bronfenbrenner's ecological model.

The mesosystem involves relationships between a child's parents and healthcare professionals.

The exosystem is responsible for the resources and infrastructure of a city or region.

The macrosystem is the most direct influence on a child's development according to Bronfenbrenner's ecological model.

The chronosystem is a dimension of time that considers the impact of historical events on a child's development.

Proximal processes work independently of the more distal influences in the macrosystem and exosystem.

At the macrosystem level, cities would require ramps and elevators in public buildings.

Family members influence a child's life through their beliefs regarding the cause of a disability.

Husband-wife tensions would increase as they developed mutual respect and trust at the mesosystem level.

The microsystem level refers to the beliefs existing at a cultural level.

A nation might pass laws mandating enhanced disability policies for only schooling and employment.

Families' beliefs affect the resources they spend on the child and their expectations for what their child might achieve in adulthood.

The Patient Centered Clinical Method focuses on understanding patients experiences with illness and disease, but not holistically.

There are four essential components of patient-centered care.

Effective communication in patient-centered care involves only sharing information from the clinician to the patient.

Compassionate and empowering care provision involves being attentive and altruistic.

The three components of communication in patient-centered care are sharing information, diagnosing disease, and sensitivity to patient needs.

Patient-centered care involves health promotion, but not partnership.
