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...

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...

Concepts of Health and Illness

16.8K
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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.6K
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...

Behavior Modification

492
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.
A real-world application of operant conditioning principles is applied...

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

4.9K
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,...

Summary

Epilepsy treatments traditionally manage seizures symptomatically, with limited success. New imaging and genomic insights enable targeted interventions to address underlying causes and potentially alter the disease

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Epilepsy treatment has historically focused on symptomatic relief by raising seizure thresholds.
  • Conventional treatments show limited impact on drug resistance and comorbidities like learning and behavioral issues, especially in early-onset epilepsy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review emerging interventional treatment options for epilepsy.
  • To explore the potential of targeting underlying epilepsy causes to modify disease progression.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on advanced neuroimaging and genomic techniques in epilepsy.
  • Analysis of evidence for interventional treatments targeting epilepsy's root causes.

Main Results:

  • Advanced neuroimaging and genomics identify epilepsy causes in a higher percentage of cases.
  • This improved understanding facilitates the development of targeted, potentially curative, therapies.

Conclusions:

  • A shift towards etiological treatments for epilepsy is becoming feasible.
  • Interventional strategies targeting underlying causes offer the potential to change the natural history of epilepsy.
