Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.2K
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Mobile Health (mHealth)

Background:

  • Mobile devices have become essential for accessing digital health resources, especially post-COVID-19.
  • Mobile health (mHealth) is vital for health monitoring and improvement across diverse populations.
  • Effective mHealth utilization necessitates accurate measurement of mobile health literacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key components of mHealth literacy for general users.
  • To develop a systematic scale for measuring self-perceived mHealth literacy using a problem-based approach.

Main Methods:

  • Exploratory study with interviews and observations (n=15).
  • Factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory) to identify mHealth literacy components.
  • Two large-scale surveys (n=552 and n=433) in China to validate the scale and assess relationships.

Main Results:

  • The Problem-Based mHealth Literacy Scale comprises 33 items across 8 domains.
  • Validated scale demonstrated reliability and validity, fitting a second-order factor model.
  • mHealth use significantly impacts mHealth literacy, which in turn influences health prevention behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • mHealth literacy is distinct, emphasizing needs, medical term comprehension, and patient-doctor communication skills.
  • The Problem-Based mHealth Literacy Scale is a valuable tool for comprehensive mHealth literacy assessment.
  • This scale extends health literacy concepts to the mobile communication domain.
