Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

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 from...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

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...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

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:

  • Health Equity Research
  • Implementation Science
  • Critical Social Science

Background:

  • Implementation science (IS) increasingly prioritizes health equity.
  • IS needs to systematically engage with critical social science theories for health equity.
  • This paper highlights the value of critical social science in IS for social justice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize recent contributions to health equity in IS.
  • To highlight the value of critical social science theory for advancing health equity in IS research and practice.

Main Methods:

  • Targeted literature review using citation tracking on Google Scholar.
  • Purposeful selection of 10 articles.
  • Inductive identification of three distinct approaches to health equity in IS.

Main Results:

  • Category 1: Acknowledges health equity but uses positivist IS methods.
  • Category 2: Broadens focus to structural factors and social determinants of health.
  • Category 3: Centers critical social science concepts (e.g., intersectionality) to advance IS through social justice.

Conclusions:

  • Proposes a learning pathway for IS researchers, practitioners, and educators to integrate critical social theory.
  • Calls for a paradigm shift in IS to address power, oppression, and marginalization.
  • Emphasizes mitigating systemic oppression for marginalized groups experiencing health inequities.
