Study Notes
Understanding Disability
- Impairment: Temporary or permanent loss or abnormality of physiological or psychological functioning.
- Disability: Restriction or loss of ability to perform activities normally due to impairment.
- Handicap: Restriction or inability to fulfill socio-cultural roles due to disability.
Concept of Prevention
- Prevention aims to reduce or eliminate the onset, causes, complications, or recurrence of disease or disability.
- Broadly: It includes preventive measures that limit the progression of the disease at any stage of its course.
- Risk Factors: High blood pressure, alcohol and tobacco overuse, being underweight, sanitation and precure hygiene, iron deficiency, unsafe water, and prenatal/perinatal factors.
- Disability Risk Factors: Infections during pregnancy, traumatic or toxic exposure of the fetus, genetic or nutritional factors, injuries.
Levels of Prevention
-
Primary Prevention: Aims to prevent the occurrence of disease situations using interventions.
- Example: Immunization campaigns against communicable diseases.
-
Secondary Prevention: Aims to detect and treat conditions or pathologies early on to mitigate their impact.
- Example: Mammograms to detect breast cancer.
-
Tertiary Prevention: Aims to limit or reverse the impact of existing deficiencies through rehabilitation programs to improve quality of life, promote mobility, and independence.
- Example: Cardiac rehabilitation programs.
Primary Prevention Examples
- Care of Pregnant and Lactating Mothers: Sterile techniques, good hygiene, early detection and treatment of infections, adequate nutrition, avoiding medication unless prescribed, addressing postpartum depression.
- Immunization: Administering licensed, recommended, age-appropriate inactivated vaccines to pregnant mothers and newborns.
- Infant Safety Measures: Avoiding leaving infants in inappropriate or unsafe places, keeping dangerous materials, electrical appliances, and medicines out of reach.
Secondary Prevention Examples
- Genetic Counseling: Detecting congenital defects and genetic disorders for preventive purposes.
- Adolescent Pregnancy: Pregnant teenagers, especially very young ones, are considered an “at-risk” group.
- Social Environment Protection: Protecting children and youths from dangerous environments.
Tertiary Prevention Examples
- Biomedical Procedures: Effective treatment of conditions like hypothyroidism to prevent further complications.
- Rehabilitation Programs: Improving quality of life, promoting mobility, and independence of individuals with disabilities.
Preventing Disability
- Poverty as a Contributing Factor: Poverty often leads to malnutrition, lack of access to healthcare, and exposure to toxic chemicals, all contributing to disability.
- Primary Prevention: Immunization campaigns, prenatal and postnatal care, nutrition education, accident prevention programs, workplace adaptations to prevent accidents and occupational diseases, prevention of disabilities associated with environmental pollution or armed conflicts.
- Secondary Prevention: Regular examinations and screenings, preventive measures like daily low-dose aspirin, appropriately modified work for injured workers.
- Tertiary Prevention: Cardiac or stroke rehabilitation programs, chronic disease management programs, support groups, vocational rehabilitation programs.
Physical Activity and Disability
- Sedentary behavior is linked to deconditioning and health risk for individuals with disabilities.
- Individuals with disabilities are at a higher risk of obesity.
- Adults with disabilities are less likely to engage in regular physical activity.
Prevention of Diabetes Mellitus
- Primary Prevention: Encourage healthy diet and exercise to prevent diabetes.
- Secondary Prevention: Screenings to identify diabetes early for treatment before complications arise.
- Tertiary Prevention: Medications to manage diabetes and reduce the severity of symptoms.
Prevention of High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
- Primary Prevention: Regular blood pressure measurement, healthy diet, physical activity, smoking and alcohol avoidance, and adequate sleep.
