Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:
Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

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 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...
Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Communication in Healthcare
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Elderly minority patients exhibit lower rates of influenza vaccination and colorectal cancer screening.
  • Communication dynamics between primary care providers (PCPs) and patients influence preventive service receipt.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify communication strategies that facilitate the uptake of preventive services among elderly minority patients.
  • To explore barriers and facilitators in PCP-patient communication regarding vaccination and screening.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of observed and audiotaped encounters between 7 PCPs and 18 elderly patients.
  • Coding of transcribed audiotapes and field notes to identify communication strategies and barriers.

Main Results:

  • Patient-centered communication strategies like empathy, shared decision-making, and respectful treatment were crucial.
  • Facilitators for influenza vaccination included cultural competence, PCP-initiated discussions, persistence, rapport, trust, and direct PCP vaccination.
  • PCP persistence and strong patient-provider rapport/trust also aided colorectal cancer screening acceptance.

Conclusions:

  • Specific communication strategies appear to enhance PCP-patient dialogue for promoting preventive care acceptance in older adults.
  • Further research with larger samples is needed to validate these strategies and their impact on compliance with preventive recommendations.
