Study Notes

WHO: Health and Illness

The WHO defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, formulated in 1948.
Health encompasses three dimensions:
- Physical well-being: functioning body and freedom from disease.
- Mental well-being: emotional, psychological, and social health affecting thoughts and actions.
- Social well-being: fulfilling relationships, stability, and community support.

Holistic Health Perspective

WHO encourages a view of health that integrates physical, mental, and social aspects, likened to a three-legged stool.
Emphasizes the importance of well-being beyond mere absence of illness, highlighting overall quality of life.

Fundamental Health Rights

Enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental human right for everyone.

Global Interconnectedness

Health impacts global peace and security; unequal health development is a shared risk among nations.
Children’s healthy development is critical for future societal health and stability.

Public Awareness and Government Role

An informed populace is essential for health improvement; governments are responsible for health and social initiatives.

Distinction Between Illness and Disease

Illness is a broader term encompassing subjective experiences of unwellness, while disease refers specifically to identifiable pathological conditions.
Seeking timely care is vital for any health issue, whether physical or mental.

Models of Health and Illness

Biomedical Model: Focuses on disease absence, biological factors, and medical interventions.
Health Belief Model (HBM): Explains health-related decisions influenced by perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, benefits, and self-efficacy.

High-Level Wellness

High-level wellness exceeds mere absence of illness, incorporating physical, emotional, intellectual, social, occupational, environmental, spiritual, and financial wellness into a vibrant lifestyle.

Health-Illness Continuum

Health and illness exist on a continuum, illustrating the dynamic nature of individual well-being.

Dimensions of Well-Being

Four interconnected dimensions:
- Matter (Physical): Tangible aspects of existence.
- Life (Biological): Biological functioning and health.
- Mind (Psychological): Emotions and mental states.
- Culture (Socio-Linguistic): Social relationships and traditions.

CARE Model for Children

The CARE model emphasizes:
- Developmentally focused practices.
- Involvement of families in child development.
- Building genuine relationships between staff and children.
- Competence-centered approaches that nurture abilities.
- Trauma-informed care recognizing past experiences.
- Ecologically oriented to consider the broader context of child well-being.

Suchman's Five Stages of Illness

Stage 1: Symptom experience where physical changes are noticed, prompting cognitive and emotional responses.
Stage 2: Assuming the sick role, seeking permission to be ill and consulting others for advice.
Stage 3: Contacting medical professionals for symptom validation.
Stage 4: Engaging with care, following medical advice while feeling vulnerable.
Stage 5: Recovery and rehabilitation, focusing on regaining strength and adjusting to new normals.

Maslow's Model of Human Needs

Physiological Needs: Basic survival essentials like air, food, and shelter.
Safety Needs: Emotional and physical safety, stability, and security.
Love and Belongingness: Importance of social connections and community.
Esteem: Need for respect, recognition, and self-worth.
Self-Actualization: Pursuit of creativity, purpose, and fulfilling potential.

Alderfer's ERG Theory

Expands Maslow’s hierarchy into three needs:
- Existence Needs: Basic survival requirements.
- Relatedness Needs: Social connections and belongingness.
- Growth Needs: Pursuit of personal development and fulfillment.
