Concepts of Health and Illness

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness.

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 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...

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Community Health

Background:

  • School-based health centers (SBHCs) are increasingly prevalent nationwide.
  • Political popularity often overshadows evidence-based evaluation of SBHC effectiveness.
  • Existing discourse frequently overlooks critical community-specific factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the gap between evidence and discourse surrounding SBHCs.
  • To identify overlooked issues in SBHC implementation and evaluation.
  • To advocate for community-needs-driven approaches to school-based healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluation of SBHCs in Newark, New Jersey.
  • Critical assessment of existing evaluative literature on SBHCs.
  • Analysis of public discourse concerning school clinics.

Main Results:

  • Significant variations exist in community health needs and resources.
  • The pursuit of third-party reimbursement may not align with all SBHC operational realities.
  • Current models may not be the most effective for all communities.

Conclusions:

  • SBHCs require a nuanced approach, considering local health needs and resources.
  • Integration with existing healthcare infrastructure is crucial for SBHC success.
  • Discussions should prioritize community needs assessment and appropriate funding strategies over a one-size-fits-all clinic model.
