Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...

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...

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...
Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative health sciences
  • Lifecourse health development
  • Biopsychosocial models

Background:

  • Shift from biomedical to biopsychosocial models of disease.
  • Lifecourse Health Development (LCHD) models synthesize diverse research.
  • LCHD defines health as a dynamic, lifelong process.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Trace the evolution of the LCHD framework.
  • Illustrate LCHD's potential to transform Maternal and Child Health (MCH).
  • Address influences on health, disparities, chronic illness, and costs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual synthesis.
  • Analysis of LCHD framework evolution.
  • Exploration of LCHD application in MCH.

Main Results:

  • LCHD models offer a comprehensive approach to health.
  • The healthcare system lags behind LCHD advancements.
  • LCHD can significantly impact MCH outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • LCHD has the potential to reduce health disparities and chronic illness.
  • Integrating LCHD into MCH practice requires innovation.
  • Elevating MCH through LCHD is crucial for healthcare reform.
