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...

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 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...
Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern01:29

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:
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
  • Childhood Obesity Prevention
  • School Health Programs

Background:

  • Federal and state policies recognize schools as key settings for childhood obesity prevention.
  • Schools require enhanced health-promoting strategies to effectively combat this issue.
  • The Healthy Schools Program targets schools serving predominantly low-income, African American, or Hispanic students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the interim progress of schools participating in the Healthy Schools Program.
  • To assess the program's effectiveness in implementing health-promoting strategies within schools.

Main Methods:

  • An inventory of 8 content areas (policy, nutrition, physical activity, etc.) was administered to school representatives.
  • Data from schools enrolled in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years were assessed in 2010.
  • Baseline inventory data were compared to the most recent inventory data using t-tests.

Main Results:

  • Schools demonstrated significant positive changes across all 8 assessed content areas.
  • The observed effect sizes for these changes were moderate to large.
  • These findings indicate substantial progress in schools' efforts to prevent childhood obesity.

Conclusions:

  • Schools participating in the Healthy Schools Program successfully enhanced their environmental policies and practices.
  • The program serves as a valuable resource for implementing current federal and state policies on childhood obesity prevention.
