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...

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...

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...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Global Health Education
  • Online Learning

Background:

  • The University of Bergen initiated the 'Occupational Health in Developing Countries' Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in 2015.
  • The course aimed to address occupational health challenges prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the geographic and demographic diversity of MOOC participants.
  • To evaluate course engagement, particularly among learners from LMICs.
  • To assess the MOOC's effectiveness in reaching its intended global health education audience.

Main Methods:

  • Data were sourced from the FutureLearn MOOC platform.
  • Analysis included participant registration and completion data.
  • Focus was placed on learners' geographic location (LMIC status) and demographics.

Main Results:

  • Out of 5866 registrants, 72.4% were from LMIC geo-locations.
  • Of 768 course completers, 71.9% were LMIC residents.
  • Participants were predominantly young, educated, and employed in health/social sectors, with near-equal gender distribution, though higher female non-completion rates were observed in LMICs.

Conclusions:

  • The MOOC effectively engaged a significant number of participants from low- and middle-income countries.
  • The course successfully met its objective of reaching the target LMIC demographic.
  • Findings highlight the potential of MOOCs for global health education and identify areas for improving learner retention, particularly for female participants in LMICs.
