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...

Area of Science:

  • Integrative health
  • Holistic well-being
  • Health determinants

Background:

  • Health and well-being are interconnected concepts.
  • A unified framework is needed for comprehensive health research.
  • Current research requires integration to guide whole-person healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a unified framework for health and well-being.
  • To integrate subjective and objective health measures.
  • To guide the implementation of whole-person healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual framework development.
  • Integration of subjective well-being assessments (physical, emotional, spiritual).
  • Inclusion of objective measures (physical, psychological function).

Main Results:

  • A proposed framework situates individual well-being assessments alongside objective health metrics.
  • Social, environmental, economic, educational, and vocational factors are identified as positive health determinants.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework supports a comprehensive approach to health research.
  • This model facilitates the advancement of translational and clinical studies.
  • It provides a foundation for implementing effective whole-person healthcare strategies.
