  4. Unit 2: The Concept of Health

  5. Definitions of Health

  6. World Health Organization (WHO) • “Health is the complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” -1948 • "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.“ -1986

  7. Understanding Health with the use of Models • Model: a representation • A way of looking at or explaining a concept in a more understandable format • Ex. Medical Model, Risk factor model, Wellness Model

  8. Medical Model • You go to see a doctor when you have signs/symptoms of disease • Signs: something you can see • Symptoms: something you feel • The doctor is responsible for your health • Health is achieved through treatment

  9. Medical Model The Medical model views healthas the absence of disease

  10. The Medical Model focuses on dependency

  11. Risk Factor Model • Looks at the main causes of mortality • Looks to inform the population of risk factors for disease • Compared to the medical model, the focus is on prevention instead of treatment and the individualis responsible for their own health, instead of the doctor • Does not necessarily predict whether you will get a disease, but gives you the probability that you will

  12. The Risk Factor Model focuses on independent accountability for health

  13. Wellness/ Holistic model Neutral Position Wellness = a dynamic process not a state of being

  14. The Wellness Wheel:The 7 Dimensions of Wellness

  15. The 7 dimensions of wellness • The 7 dimensions of wellness are: • Emotional • Physical • Spiritual • Career/Academic • Financial • Environmental • Social/Cultural

  16. The 7 Dimensions of Wellness • Wellness is all about maintaining a balance between the many different aspects of your life. • Everyone's optimal wellness will be different, depending on your own needs, experiences, personality, and circumstances. • As we make our way through life, different aspects will fall in and out of balance - it's our job to try and maintain as much of a balance as possible.

  17. Behaviour Change

  18. Behaviour Change • According to the ASE model, there are three main predictors of behaviour change: • Attitudes; do you really want to change? What are the benefits? The personal costs? • Social norms; how do your social networks affect your behaviour? Do they make you more or less likely to participate in it? • Self-efficacy; Do you think you can actually do it or have you failed before and are convinced that you just can’t permanently change?

  19. Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of The Stages of Behaviour Change (Prochaska 1992) Consciousness raising Dramatic relief Environmental re-evaluation Self re-evaluation Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation Self-liberation Action Reinforcement management Helping relationships Counter conditioning Stimulus control Relapse Transition Maintenance Modifier Experiential processes Behavioural processes Adapted from Prochaska1992

  20. SMART Goals • Your behaviour change goals should be SMART • Specific • Measurable • Attainable • Realistic • Timely
