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...

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...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

11.4K
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:

  • Occupational Health
  • Workplace Safety
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Total Worker Health (TWH) integrates occupational safety and health with broader well-being.
  • Assessing TWH constructs requires validated measures and tools.
  • A comprehensive inventory of existing TWH assessment tools is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify survey, interview, and observational measures and tools for assessing Total Worker Health (TWH) constructs.
  • To provide a resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of TWH.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a scoping review of articles on worker health, safety, and well-being measures.
  • Supplemented review with scans of TWH-focused websites (NIOSH, Centers of Excellence).
  • Extracted descriptive attributes, substantive focus, and psychometric evaluation evidence for identified measures and tools.

Main Results:

  • Identified 102 distinct measures and tools relevant to TWH.
  • Many identified tools focused on work conditions, safety, health, and well-being outcomes.
  • Ten measures and tools lacked documented psychometric evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • This study advances TWH science by cataloging available assessment measures and tools.
  • The identified resources can guide the design, implementation, and evaluation of TWH studies.
  • Highlights the need for further psychometric validation for some TWH assessment tools.
