Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.0K
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...

Assessment of Physical Activity Intensity with Accelerometers and Oxygen Consumption

532
Here, we present a protocol to assess physical activity intensity levels measured with indirect calorimetry and two accelerometers (on the right wrist and waist) during an incremental walking-jogging test (from 0.84 to 2.37 m/s) on an oval track. The results show differences among the physical intensity assessed through those...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.4K
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

2.7K
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...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes-Mediated Transformation of Potato and the Promoter Activity of a Suberin Gene by GUS Staining08:31

Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes-Mediated Transformation of Potato and the Promoter Activity of a Suberin Gene by GUS Staining

30.6K
Here, we present two protocols to transform potato plants. The Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation leads to a complete transgenic plant while the Agrobacterium rhizogenes produces transgenic hairy roots in a wild type shoot that can be self-propagated. We then detect promoter activity by GUS staining in the transformed...

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History01:28

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History

838
Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical to patient care. It allows healthcare professionals to identify and manage various respiratory conditions. The process involves a combination of subjective and objective data collection.
Subjective Data
Subjective data provides vital information about the patient's health history and symptoms. This data is typically collected through interviews in which patients describe their experiences, symptoms, and concerns.
Health history and...

Area of Science:

  • Urban planning
  • Public health
  • Community interventions

Background:

  • Built environments in most US cities do not adequately support physical activity.
  • Permanent changes to promote physical activity are often not feasible.
  • Play Streets offers a temporary solution by repurposing streets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the volume and type of physical activity among youth participants in Chicago's PlayStreets.
  • To evaluate the variety of community services provided during PlayStreets events.
  • To understand how PlayStreets can advance health equity in urban areas.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive study of 162 PlayStreets events in Chicago during summer 2018.
  • Analysis of implementation data and post-event forms.
  • Systematic observations at a sample of PlayStreets.

Main Results:

  • PlayStreets successfully provided physical activity opportunities for youth, particularly in underserved areas.
  • The intervention facilitated access to various community resources for residents.
  • Chicago's PlayStreets demonstrated a model for advancing health equity through temporary street transformations.

Conclusions:

  • PlayStreets interventions can effectively increase physical activity for youth in urban settings.
  • These programs serve as a valuable platform for connecting residents with essential community services.
  • Supportive local policies for temporary street closures and resource provision can promote health equity nationwide.
