Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

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,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities
  • Indigenous Health

Background:

  • Alaska Native people face a disproportionate cancer burden.
  • Rural tribal health workers need accessible online cancer education.
  • Existing online education may not be culturally relevant for Indigenous populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a framework for culturally relevant online cancer education for Alaska Native people.
  • To address health inequities in cancer prevention and control.
  • To inform the creation of effective distance-delivered health education.

Main Methods:

  • Community-based participatory action research and empowerment theory guided the project.
  • Focus groups, key informant interviews, and stakeholder surveys were conducted.
  • A literature review on distance education for Indigenous peoples was performed.
  • Qualitative data were analyzed using Atlas.ti.

Main Results:

  • A four-principle framework for culturally relevant online education was developed: collaborative development, interactive content delivery, contextualizing learning, and creating connection.
  • The framework emphasizes shared understanding, relationships, and "ways of knowing."
  • The framework has been applied to cancer education, promoting behavior change.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework supports culturally relevant online cancer education for Alaska Native people.
  • This approach can reduce cancer risk and promote health behavior change.
  • The framework may be adaptable for other populations and online interventions.
