Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.6K
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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.0K
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...

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Sciences
  • Health Research Workforce Development
  • Indigenous Knowledge in Science

Background:

  • The Hawai'i Pacific University Undergraduate Infrastructure Student Research Center (HUI SRC) addresses the underrepresentation of Native Hawaiians, other Pacific Islanders (NHPI), and Filipinos in biomedical and health research.
  • The HUI SRC model is inspired by the Morgan State University ASCEND SRC and integrates Hawaiian cultural values like ho'oku'i, hui pu'ana, and lokahi.
  • The center is committed to decolonizing research by incorporating Indigenous knowledge and practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the project and present evaluation findings of the HUI SRC's first year of implementation.
  • To assess the impact of the HUI SRC on undergraduate students' engagement and competency in entrepreneurial biomedical and health research.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the HUI SRC in increasing science identity, academic and social self-concept, social support, peer support, and self-efficacy among participating students.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of the HUI SRC program at Hawai'i Pacific University.
  • Evaluation of the first year of the HUI SRC's activities and outcomes.
  • Assessment of changes in students' science identity, self-concept, support systems, and self-efficacy.

Main Results:

  • The HUI SRC was effective in enhancing undergraduate students' science identity.
  • Participants showed improvements in academic self-concept, social self-concept, social support, peer support, and self-efficacy.
  • The center successfully increased engagement and competency in biomedical and health research among students from historically underrepresented populations.

Conclusions:

  • The HUI SRC demonstrates the potential of undergraduate Student Research Centers (SRCs) to broaden the pipeline of biomedical and health researchers.
  • The findings highlight the positive impact of the HUI SRC on key psychological and social factors crucial for research career development.
  • The HUI SRC model offers a framework for engaging Indigenous knowledge and promoting diversity within the scientific research workforce, particularly for NHPI and Filipino students.
