Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

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...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
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:
Coronary Artery Disease IV: Preventive Measures01:26

Coronary Artery Disease IV: Preventive Measures

Effective preventive measures for coronary artery disease (CAD) focus on controlling modifiable risk factors, including cholesterol abnormalities and lifestyle changes.Cholesterol ManagementFirst, the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association advocate for maintaining low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels below 100 mg/dL, with a more stringent recommendation of below 70 mg/dL for individuals at high risk. LDL cholesterol, often termed "bad cholesterol," can lead to the...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Chronic Disease Prevention
  • Health Program Evaluation

Background:

  • Evidence-based best practices may lack relevance in community settings.
  • Bridging the gap between research and local expertise is crucial for effective public health.
  • The Toward Evidence-Informed Practice (TEIP) initiative aimed to enhance decision-making in chronic disease prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a Program Assessment Tool for community-based chronic disease prevention.
  • To strengthen program planning and implementation by focusing on process.
  • To complement the adoption and adaptation of evidence-informed practices.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Program Assessment Tool with 19 criteria from best and promising practices literature.
  • Applied the tool to assess and strengthen program planning and implementation.
  • Described benefits, strengths, and challenges in 22 community projects in Ontario, Canada.

Main Results:

  • The Program Assessment Tool facilitates the integration of best processes into program development.
  • Implementation in 22 projects provided insights into the tool's practical application.
  • The tool aids in assessing and improving program planning and implementation phases.

Conclusions:

  • The Program Assessment Tool is a valuable resource for community-based chronic disease prevention.
  • It supports evidence-informed decision-making by emphasizing process improvement.
  • The tool helps align programs with both research evidence and local context.
