Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

3.0K
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...

Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A gap between conventional and complementary health care, termed the continuum cleft, compromises patient care for millions. Interprofessional education may offer solutions to bridge this divide and improve health services.

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Healthcare Systems
  • Interprofessional Collaboration

Background:

  • A significant gap, the "continuum cleft," exists between conventional and complementary/alternative health care.
  • This cleft arises from professional silos and protective measures between health professions.
  • It negatively impacts the continuity of care for over 73 million Americans annually.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the causes and consequences of the continuum cleft in health professions.
  • To explore interprofessional education as a potential solution for bridging this gap.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the professionalization process in health care.
  • Examination of interprofessional educational models in health sciences.
  • Case study of diverse educational institutions in Oregon.

Main Results:

  • The continuum cleft results from professionalization and interprofessional "cysts."
  • This gap leads to costly and hazardous compromises in patient care continuity.
  • Interprofessional educational experiences show promise in addressing the cleft.

Conclusions:

  • The continuum cleft poses a substantial risk to patient care continuity.
  • Interprofessional education collaborations are a viable strategy to mend the continuum cleft.
  • Bridging this gap can enhance the integration of conventional and complementary health care.
