Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

9.6K
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.

Concepts of Health and Illness

16.9K
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.6K
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

2.0K
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...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.1K
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...

Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

5.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Concept spaces represent knowledge structures within specific domains.
  • Comparing knowledge from scientific literature and public discourse (e.g., internet message boards) is crucial for understanding health information.
  • Existing methods may not adequately capture nuances between expert-generated and lay-generated health concepts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and evaluate methods for comparing concept spaces derived from distinct sources: scientific literature and internet message boards.
  • To assess the feasibility of applying these comparison methods across multiple health domains.
  • To identify potential applications and limitations of comparative concept space analysis in health research.

Main Methods:

  • Generation of concept spaces from biomedical research literature and internet health forums.
  • Application of various quantitative and qualitative methods to compare pairs of concept spaces.
  • Experimental validation using five distinct health domains: Autism, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the utility of proposed methods in identifying similarities and differences between literature-based and discussion-based health concept spaces.
  • Highlighted domain-specific variations in concept representation between scientific and public discourses.
  • Provided empirical evidence for the effectiveness of the comparison techniques across diverse health conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed methods offer a valuable approach for analyzing and contrasting health-related knowledge from varied sources.
  • Findings suggest potential for improved understanding of public health perceptions and research trends.
  • Future research should focus on refining comparison metrics and expanding the range of health domains and discourse types.
