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 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...
Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...
Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Promotion
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Reflexivity is crucial in professional education, particularly in public health and health promotion.
  • A lack of consensus exists on assessing and conceptualizing reflexivity among professionals and trainees.
  • The Health Promotion Laboratory is an innovative program designed to foster competency and reflexivity for practice change.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the reflexivity outcomes of the Health Promotion Laboratory program.
  • To differentiate between formative and critical levels of reflexivity.
  • To explore the practical implications of each reflexivity level for health professionals.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews were conducted with participants from two intervention sites.
  • The study analyzed the reflexivity outcomes resulting from participation in the Health Promotion Laboratory.
  • The research focused on understanding how the program influenced participants' professional practice and roles.

Main Results:

  • Participation in the Health Promotion Laboratory led to significant modifications in participants' views of their practice and professional roles.
  • New understandings gained through the program often served a formative function, improving participants' practice and roles.
  • The reflective process also fostered a critical function, leading to a social and moral awareness of the societal impacts of professional practices.

Conclusions:

  • The Health Promotion Laboratory effectively enhanced reflexivity among health professionals.
  • Both formative and critical levels of reflexivity are valuable, contributing to improved practice and a deeper understanding of social justice and equity concerns.
  • Redefining reflexivity into formative and critical levels provides a useful framework for professional development in health promotion.
