Study Notes

Introduction to Health and Wellness

Health is derived from Old English, meaning "sound" or "whole".
It's defined as the promotion and restoration of wholeness.
According to Webster, health is a state of being healthy, happy, and prosperous.
The WHO defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, not merely the absence of disease.

Public Health

Public health is the quality of life revolving and dynamic interaction amongst an individual's physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
It covers social complexes and promotes and protects the health of people and communities.
It is a multi-faceted concept focusing on whole person and societal well-being

The Health Triangle

The health triangle comprises three interdependent aspects of wholeness: Physical health, Mental/Emotional health, and Social health.
Optimal health involves a balance among these dimensions.

Poor Health

Poor health encompasses physical ailments/disabilities (acute and chronic), and mental health issues.
It significantly impacts independent functioning, families, communities, and society.
The severity of poor health dictates the impact on individuals, families, communities, and society.
Individuals experience reduced access to roles in community and home, and family members experience support loss.
High costs are associated with musculoskeletal disabilities.

Wellness

Wellness is an ongoing, active process of being aware of choices and making decisions toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Wellness involves mindful choices regarding lifestyle and priorities.
Wellness integrates mental, social, occupational, emotional, spiritual, and physical dimensions.

Models and Dimensions of Wellness

Howard Clinebell identifies 7 dimensions of wellness: Spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, environmental, social, and occupational.
Ardell's Model of Wellness proposes that wellness is a choice encompassing nutritional awareness, physical fitness, environmental sensitivity, self-responsibility, and stress management.

Prevention Practice

Three types of preventive care exist: Primary prevention, Secondary prevention, and Tertiary prevention.
Primary prevention prevents ailments in susceptible population groups via general health promotion campaigns.
Secondary prevention reduces the duration and severity of conditions via early detection and intervention.
Tertiary prevention aims to limit disability by promoting function in individuals with chronic or reversible disease.
Physical therapists have an important role in identifying risk factors and developing health-promoting strategies.

Risk Reduction

Risk factors including poor nutrition, lack of physical activity, poor environmental conditions, substance abuse, low self-esteem/lack of direction, and personal/environmental factors influence health and well-being.
Addressing these risk factors with proper guidance and education is crucial.

Conventional Medicine

Conventional medicine uses drugs, radiation, or surgery to target symptoms or treat illnesses.
This approach focuses on alleviating disease symptoms through biomedical interventions.

Holistic Medicine

Holistic medicine is an approach that considers the whole person: physical, psychological, familial, societal, ethical, and spiritual dimensions. It prioritizes a comprehensive understanding of the individual.
Holistic medicine is an attitudinal approach and places a strong emphasis on self-healing and maximizing well-being.

Holistic Health

Holistic health looks beyond physical functioning to consider factors influencing wellness among mind, spirit, and body.
This holistic perspective prioritizes the whole person and their situation.

Principles of Holistic Medical Practice

Holistic medical practice's goal is achieving optimal health across social, spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and environmental domains, balancing them.
Practitioners must offer holistic care (mind, body, spirit).
Holistic medicine prioritizes treating the entire person in relation to their illness. This approach centers around the person and their needs rather than their disease.

Additional Principles of Holistic Practice

Practitioners empower clients to heal themselves through awareness, support, and control over their health
Holistic medicine employs diverse healing methods emphasizing lifestyle changes, conventional medication or surgery, alternative, and complementary approaches in accordance with the individual's needs.
Important life experiences such as birth, suffering, and dying are viewed as learning opportunities for both clients and practitioners.
Practitioners demonstrate optimal wellness care to clients, which incorporates the unique requirements of clients.

Comparing Holistic and Conventional Medicine

Holistic and conventional medicine differ in their philosophies, primary objectives, diagnostic processes, and treatment approaches.
Holistic care emphasizes preventive care, health promotion, and whole-person management.
