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.
Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness, disability,...
Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

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...
Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic01:26

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies. Common...
Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Summary

People with disabilities face US healthcare system disadvantages, receiving either insufficient or excessive care. This can lead to iatrogenic illnesses, hindering independence and necessitating further research.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Disability Studies
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • The US healthcare system presents significant disadvantages for individuals with disabilities and chronic conditions.
  • Patients may experience undertreatment or overtreatment, leading to adverse health outcomes.
  • Lack of understanding of disability-related needs by practitioners contributes to iatrogenic illnesses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the deprivation and excess of healthcare services experienced by people with disabilities and chronic conditions.
  • To identify and focus on three categories of iatrogenic illness that negatively impact this population.
  • To emphasize the need for empirical studies on iatrogenic illness in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • Exploration of existing literature and data on healthcare access for people with disabilities and chronic conditions.
  • Analysis of healthcare system interactions and their potential to cause iatrogenic harm.
  • Identification of specific categories of iatrogenic illness relevant to the target population.

Main Results:

  • Healthcare system failures lead to both insufficient and excessive medical interventions for people with disabilities.
  • Three primary categories of iatrogenic illness were identified as detrimental to patient well-being and independence.
  • The current system often fails to adequately address the unique healthcare needs of individuals with chronic conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Empirical research into iatrogenic illness among people with disabilities and chronic conditions is critically needed.
  • Physiatrists are essential in conducting this research and ensuring appropriate, safe healthcare access.
  • Interventions are required to mitigate iatrogenic risks and improve healthcare outcomes for this vulnerable population.
