Preventive Healthcare Services

1.7K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.0K
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

2.5K
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...

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

824
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Preventive Dentistry
  • Public Health Interventions

Background:

  • Workplace wellness programs are crucial for employee health.
  • Dental disease prevention requires accessible and effective interventions.
  • Pilot projects assess the feasibility of new health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a low-threshold dental disease prevention program for employees.
  • To assess changes in oral health behavior and clinical parameters after a one-year intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involved 144 employees (office/production) aged 39.25 years.
  • Intervention included questionnaires, clinical examinations (PBI, mAPI, STM), educational video, and provision of oral hygiene products.
  • Follow-up assessments were conducted after one year.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in oral health behavior scores (p<0.05).
  • Reduced Papillae Bleeding Index (PBI) from 0.43 to 0.31 (p<0.05).
  • Decreased modified Approximal Plaque Index (mAPI) from 1.54 to 1.35 (p<0.01) and exploratory depth measurements (STM) from 1.83 to 1.56 (p<0.001).

Conclusions:

  • The workplace dental disease prevention program is suitable for implementation.
  • The intervention led to significant improvements in both oral health behavior and clinical outcomes.
  • Workplace-based programs can effectively enhance employee oral health.
