Study Notes
Defining Health
- Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease or infirmity.
- Total health encompasses physical, social, mental, and emotional health.
Illness
- Illness is a state of discomfort caused by disease or injury, affecting a person's health.
- Acute illness: Develops suddenly and lasts a short time, potentially leading to long-term health issues.
- Chronic illness: Develops slowly with lasting effects.
- Terminal illness: Incurable and has no potential for recovery; the terminal stage marks a person's approach to death.
Community
- A group of people living within a defined geographical area, sharing common goals, interacting with each other, and holding common interests, needs, resources, environment, and characteristics.
- Geographic communities: Defined by geographical borders (city, town, village) with shared rights and benefits.
- Geographic communities are easy to target for analyzing health needs.
- Available data (mortality, morbidity rates) can be used for planning health programs.
- Health education strategies reach the population easily (e.g., media campaigns on breastfeeding).
- Common-interest communities: Identified by a shared interest or goal, regardless of geographical location (e.g., a community of farmers).
- Community of solution: A group of people coming together to address a shared problem affecting them (e.g., a community organizing to improve local air quality).
