Health -- early definitions
Being safe and whole of body—natural or in harmony with nature.
Unhealthy meant unnatural or contrary to nature. The unhealthy person was “Unclean” therefore no attempt to cure.

Scientific Era
Increased Medical discoveries. Illness was regarded with less disgust. Society was concerned with avoiding effects of disease. Health was defined as “freedom from disease”
This definition is still in use today.

World Health Organization
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”
Ideal goal Supports a holistic view of health Add spiritual

WHO Definition good because:
Looks at total person Looks at environment (community) Equates health with productive/creative living
![Page 7: NU268 Health Assessment and Promotion. Foundation class HA – 1 st step to caregiving Health Care into the community Preventative Health Care & Health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb3150/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We all usually agree with the WHO definition but it is difficult to understand what it really means since “health” means different things to differnet people
![Page 8: NU268 Health Assessment and Promotion. Foundation class HA – 1 st step to caregiving Health Care into the community Preventative Health Care & Health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb3150/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“Classic” Definition of Health
Murray and Zettner (1975) “A purposeful, adaptive response, physically,
mentally, emotionally and sociallly, to internal and external stimuli, in order to maintain stability and comfort.”
![Page 9: NU268 Health Assessment and Promotion. Foundation class HA – 1 st step to caregiving Health Care into the community Preventative Health Care & Health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb3150/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Meaning of “Health” becomes clear throughout the educational process and maturity
Health sometimes viewed not only as the absence of disease but also a reward for “good behavior.”
![Page 10: NU268 Health Assessment and Promotion. Foundation class HA – 1 st step to caregiving Health Care into the community Preventative Health Care & Health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb3150/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
We know a lot about illness and a lot less about health
Each of us enters the health care community with our own culturally based concept of health.
Sometimes we as HCP’s view those who do not accept the prevailing institutional connotation of the word “health” as “deviant.”

Health and disease are opposites Disease is due to specific agents Look at signs and symptoms of disease Interventions initiated after illness already
exists If s/s are eliminated then person is said to be
healthy
![Page 13: NU268 Health Assessment and Promotion. Foundation class HA – 1 st step to caregiving Health Care into the community Preventative Health Care & Health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb3150/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Holistic Model of Health

environment Wellness is a dynamic process Assessment data looks at lifestyle, culture, values,
family, society, developmental tasks—each of these contributing to the whole person

The persons concept of health determines which assessment data to collect.

want to use them-to have energy and enthusiasm Being able to perform your normal activities, such as

Prevention
– A continuum of activities essential for preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health.
3 Levels of Prevention
![Page 34: NU268 Health Assessment and Promotion. Foundation class HA – 1 st step to caregiving Health Care into the community Preventative Health Care & Health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb3150/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Primary Prevention
Consists of activities directed toward decreasing the probability of specific illnesses or dysfunctions in individuals, families, communities including active prevention against unnecessary stressors – e.g., immunizations, prenatal care, parenting classes, health promotion behaviors (exercise, nutrition….)
![Page 35: NU268 Health Assessment and Promotion. Foundation class HA – 1 st step to caregiving Health Care into the community Preventative Health Care & Health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb3150/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Secondary Prevention
Emphasizes early diagnosis and prompt intervention to halt the pathological process, thereby shortening its duration and severtiy and enabling the individual to regain normal function at the earliest possible point – e.g., BP, blood sugar screenings, pap smears, other cancer screenings.
![Page 36: NU268 Health Assessment and Promotion. Foundation class HA – 1 st step to caregiving Health Care into the community Preventative Health Care & Health](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb3150/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Tertiary Prevention
Comes into play when a defect or disability is fixed, stabilized, or irreversible. Rehabilitation, the goal of tertiary prevention, is more than halting the disease process itself; it is restoring the individual to an optimum level of functioning within the constraints of the disability – e.g., rehabilitation from stoke, heart disease, depression….
