Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...
Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Urban Planning

Background:

  • Sense of place is a well-established concept in geography and psychology but is underutilized in public health.
  • The health impact of place is multifaceted, affecting physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Current recommendations for healthy environments often lack empirical evidence, hindering public health practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce "sense of place" as a relevant construct for public health research and practice.
  • To highlight the need for evidence-based recommendations for healthy place-making.
  • To identify key aspects of the built environment for future public health research.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual introduction of "sense of place" within the public health domain.
  • Review of existing literature on place and health outcomes.
  • Identification of four key aspects of the built environment for research: nature contact, buildings, public spaces, and urban form.

Main Results:

  • Sense of place offers a framework to understand the comprehensive health impacts of environments.
  • There is a significant gap between current place-making recommendations and evidence-based public health practice.
  • Nature contact, buildings, public spaces, and urban form are promising areas for public health research related to sense of place.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating "sense of place" into public health can lead to more effective and holistic health promotion strategies.
  • Developing evidence-based guidelines for healthy place-making is crucial for improving population health.
  • Further research into the relationship between the built environment and sense of place is warranted to inform public health interventions.
