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...

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...
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

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...
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,...
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Program Evaluation

Background:

  • Growing interest in community-based physical activity programs necessitates effective evaluation methods.
  • An international workgroup convened to address the need for robust program evaluation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and disseminate the Rio de Janeiro Recommendations for evaluating physical activity interventions.
  • To provide a framework for effective, ethical, and integrated program evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Consensus process involving international scientists and practitioners.
  • Development of a 6-step evaluation process and comprehensive recommendations.
  • Adaptation and translation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Physical Activity Evaluation Handbook.

Main Results:

  • Endorsement of the principle of 'built-in' evaluation from program inception.
  • Recommendation for approximately 10% of program resources to be allocated for evaluation.
  • Emphasis on ethical standards, process and outcome assessment, and stakeholder engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Evaluation outcomes should inform program refinement, continuation, and expansion decisions.
  • Additional training in program evaluation is needed.
  • The translated Evaluation Handbook is available in Spanish and Portuguese for diverse communities.
