    Characteristics of Man

    • Considered a complete being with 14 fundamental needs (Virginia Henderson).

    General System Theory

    • Relevant for community health nursing across individuals, families, groups, and communities.
    • Describes clients as interactive elements within an open system that exchanges energy, matter, and information with the environment.
    • Emphasizes assessment of family health through interrelationships and environmental conditions.
    • Inputs include resources like food, energy, and information; outputs encompass health practices and statuses.
    • Feedback from the environment enables system adjustments for optimal functioning.

    Social Learning Theory

    • Highlights the role of social influences and observational learning in behavior change.

      • Physiological needs
      • Safety and security
      • Love and belongingness
      • Self-esteem
      • Self-actualization

    Health-Illness Continuum Models

    • Dunn’s High Level Wellness Grid: Defines health through an intersecting health and environmental axis.
    • Travis’ Illness-Wellness Continuum: Visualizes a spectrum from wellness to premature death, indicating the duality of health and illness.
    • Health Belief Model: Explores the connection between beliefs about health and corresponding behaviors, focusing on susceptibility and seriousness of illness.

    Frameworks for Prevention

    • Milio’s Framework for Prevention: Links population health status to insufficient or excess critical health resources, highlighting the vulnerabilities of those lacking basic needs versus those experiencing overconsumption.
    • Pender’s Health Promotion Model: Considers biopsychosocial factors that encourage health-promoting behaviors.

    The Transtheoretical Model

    • Integrates various intervention theories, positing that behavior change progresses through identifiable stages.

    PRECEDE-PROCEED Model

    • Offers a comprehensive structure for community assessment, health education, planning, and evaluation.
    • PRECEDE:
      • P: Predisposing
      • R: Reinforcing
      • E: Enabling
      • C: Construct
      • E: Educational
      • D: Diagnosis
      • E: Evaluation
    • PROCEED:
      • P: Policy
      • R: Regulatory
      • O: Organizational
