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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy education
  • Public health curriculum development
  • Health systems science

Background:

  • The occupational therapy profession emphasizes improving population health.
  • Academic programs are crucial for preparing occupational therapists for public health roles.
  • There is a need to assess current and desired population health content in occupational therapy curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current and desired coverage of population health concepts in entry-level occupational therapy programs.
  • To identify gaps in the curriculum related to population health domains.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey was distributed to 182 occupational therapy program directors.
  • Data were collected on the current and desired coverage of 23 population health domains.
  • Response rate was 33.0% (60 directors).

Main Results:

  • Directors agreed that 21 of 23 population health domains should be included in curricula.
  • Currently, only 11 domains have moderate or better coverage.
  • Significant gaps exist in global health, informatics, environmental health, and health systems organization.

Conclusions:

  • Findings provide insights for occupational therapy faculty to refine population health content.
  • Curriculum adjustments are needed to better prepare occupational therapists for public health practice.
  • Addressing identified gaps will strengthen the profession's role in population health improvement.
