Summary
This study reviews planetary health education programs to identify current challenges and inform future curriculum development for ecosystem health and sustainability. Findings will guide educational strategies for a healthier planet.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Health
- Public Health Education
- Ecosystem Sustainability
Background:
- Climate change impacts like air pollution and extreme weather pose significant threats to human health.
- Planetary health, conceptualized in 2015, emphasizes the interconnectedness of human and Earth's well-being.
- Growing economic development and longevity increase environmental burdens, yet systematic planetary health education is lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To clarify the current status and challenges of planetary health education.
- To identify and analyze implemented and unevaluated educational programs.
- To provide insights for developing future planetary health curricula.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review following PRISMA guidelines and the Population-Concept-Context framework.
- Searched major academic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, etc.) for original papers and conference proceedings.
- Included studies describing planetary health education; excluded reviews and non-English/Japanese papers.
Main Results:
- 28 studies were selected as of August 2025.
- Data collection occurred from May 2024 to July 2025.
- Preliminary analysis is scheduled for September 2025, with publication expected by October 2025.
Conclusions:
- The study will identify current challenges in planetary health education.
- Findings will inform the development of future curricula.
- The research aims to promote ecosystem health and sustainability through education.

01:26Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
13.3K
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.

01:29Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern
162
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

1.7K
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.

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...

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.
