Concepts of Health and Illness01:29

Concepts of Health and Illness

20.1K
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...

Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

5.8K
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...

Self-Schemas

36.7K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

3.1K
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...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

15.9K
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...

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks01:23

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

58
Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Retrieval
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • NetWellness provides health information via expert-answered consumer questions.
  • The existing NetWellness search interface is ineffective for retrieving previously answered questions.
  • Previous work introduced a Conjunctive Exploratory Navigation Interface (CENI) using 120 predefined health topics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel semantic-based search interface, the Semantic Conjunctive Exploratory Navigation Interface (SCENI).
  • To improve the retrieval of health information from the NetWellness database.
  • To leverage Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) concepts for enhanced topic organization and search.

Main Methods:

  • Developed SCENI, a semantic search interface utilizing UMLS concepts.
  • Tagged 60,000 NetWellness questions with UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs), allowing multiple tags per question.
  • Evaluated SCENI's precision and relevance using a 5-point Likert scale on sample queries.

Main Results:

  • SCENI achieved significantly higher precision (93.47%) and relevance (4.31) compared to CENI (precision: 77.85%, relevance: 3.3) and the NetWellness resident search interface (precision: 50.62%, relevance: 1.97).
  • The use of UMLS concepts as topics demonstrated superior performance in health information retrieval.
  • The semantic approach enhanced the ability to find relevant, expert-vetted health information.

Conclusions:

  • SCENI offers a substantial improvement in health information retrieval effectiveness.
  • Leveraging semantic concepts like UMLS CUIs enhances the user experience and accuracy of health information searches.
  • The developed semantic search interface addresses the limitations of traditional topic-based and keyword-based retrieval systems.
