Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness, disability,...

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

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.

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...
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...
Concepts of Health and Illness01:29

Concepts of Health and Illness

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Summary

Irish migrants in England experienced poorer health than expected, reversing the healthy migrant effect. Economic selection significantly influenced these changing health patterns over time.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Public Health
  • Demography

Background:

  • Historically, Irish-born populations in England exhibited worse health outcomes compared to both native English and Irish populations.
  • This pattern represented a reversal of the typical 'healthy migrant effect' observed in other migrant groups.

Observation:

  • A notable shift occurred with recent birth cohorts of Irish-born individuals in England demonstrating better health than the English population.
  • The significant health disadvantage for Irish migrants, termed the 'migrant health penalty,' was most pronounced for those born between 1920 and 1960.

Findings:

  • The study investigates the underlying processes contributing to these evolving health trends among Irish migrants in England.
  • Results indicate that economic selection played a crucial role in shaping the health disparities between Irish-born migrants and the white English population.

Implications:

  • Understanding the impact of economic factors on migrant health is vital for public health policy.
  • These findings highlight the dynamic nature of migrant health and the need for context-specific analyses.
