Hp Strategies For Health Promotion

The understanding of health has evolved through time. This is because, understanding health is key to attainment of health. When people understand the concepts of health, decisions on which interventions and programs to undertake in order to have healthy individuals and communities will be well informed. This means that all determinants of health must be put into consideration if this is to be achieved. The vision of the Ministry of Health is to have a healthy and productive people. This, then, makes health promotion one of the primary foci for attainment of this vision.

The roots of the tree suggest the requirement of understanding the conditions that conclude health and ill health; biological inheritance, physical environment, cultural, social, political and economic circumstances. The understanding of who, when and where is affected enables possible interventions to be identified. The trunk of the tree illustrates the importance of organisational commitment to improving health. Lastly, the branches describe key areas for health promotion activity and those elements of the setting that contribute to health. Health promotion works by the belief system. The belief system is when an individual is experiencing change in their health. The belief system is made up of many positive factors such as; health, aesthetic gain, benefits to family, pariah status and financial gain. This belief system can be used in many health issues such as overcoming obesity. There are many positives for overcoming obesity which are; reducing the chance of getting illnesses/diseases, heart disease, infertility, type 2 diabetes, some cancers and strokes. The aesthetic gain It would be that people would lose weight more and then would look/be thinner. Benefits to family The benefits to the family would be that by them being healthier the rest of the family may be influenced to start being healthy to avoid the risk of developing any illness/disease.

The “Health for All by the Year 2000” movement was developed by The World Health Organisation with the aim to promote health and provide an improved quality of life worldwide (WHO 1986b). The World Health Organisation later developed a set of standards for delivering health promotion. These standards state that patient’s must be provided with information on important issues regarding their illness or condition and health promotion interventions should be recognised in all service users care pathways. The standards also necessitate that every hospital has a written procedure for health

To evaluate if the HNZF initiative address the core principles for strategizing health promotion, the framework will apply the key elements of (1) addressing the five promotion actions of Ottawa Charter, (2) considering the values of the specific communities (3) focusing to achieve “health equity” among different groups of socio-economic positons, gender and ethnicity (4) structuring by the evidence-based information and (5) addressing the ethical principles for health

There are five different approaches to health promotion, each of these have different aims, methods and means of evaluation they are not guidelines but individually reflect different ways of working. (Naidoo & Wills, 2009.)

This part focuses on the health care system and health promotion. Formerly, I think health care is very similar in every counties and it is very easy to enhance the health promotion. However, after having workshops and readings in these few weeks, my initial thoughts have changes a lot.

The concept of health promotion initially emerged and continues to gain strength as an approach to improving health status and health condition of people. Health promotion is a key component of the complex relationship between actions, knowledge, attitudes, behaviour, and health outcomes from the individual to the societal level. Health promotion is increasingly applicable and relevant to practice within health care and health research specialty around the world.

Health is regarded by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a fundamental human right, and health promotion is defined as the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improve their health (Health Policy, 2015).

The world health organization define health promotion as "the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its detriments, and thereby improve their health."

The main purpose of health promotion in care practice is to promote the issue of health promotion in policies and training agendas.

The WHO’s definition of health has become the most commonly used and states that health promotion is the method of enabling people to increase their own control over their health and also to be able to improve it. DEF!!!!!!!!!. Health promotion can take place in many different environments and settings such as the community. The term community is defined by Wood and Judikus (2002) as being wherever the member of any particular group, be it small or large, live together in a way in which they share the basic conditions of common everyday life. Community based health promotion programmes are the most common forms of health promotion and are increasing in recognition all the time as well as becoming an intervention and seen as an effective, wider scale educational health initiative by governments as a whole. A community led approach on health functions by dealing with population health problems of variation and in application to more personal troubles which grow from individual lifestyle factors and behavioural patterns. Community based health development is defined by the CIHRU (1987) as “a process by which a community defines its own health needs, considers how these needs can be

Within this report a health promotion activity will be evaluated. The meaning and role of health promotion will also be explored along with an evaluation of health education, and exploring the nature of the preventive approach and the behaviour change approach and the role of empowerment in health promotion. Additionally, in this report it will contain two aspects of epidemiology and their effects on health promotion.

Health promotion enables people to increase control over their own health. It covers a wide range of social and environmental interventions which are made to benefit and protection individual’s health, wellbeing and quality of life.

To evaluate health promotion, people need to know what health promotion truly is. Health promotion has been defined by the World Health Organization as, “the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improve their health.”(The Bangkok Charter for health promotion in a globalized world, 2005)

In the current fast paced lifestyle, it is important to create health awareness among people in order to improve the overall well being and health of the community. As per O’Donnell (2009), Health Promotion can be defined as “the art and science of directing people to establish the synergies between their lifestyle and their health, enhancing their motivation and supports people to change their lifestyle to strive for an optimal health, thus increasing the overall well being at community and national level”. Optimal health can be described as a harmonious blend of spiritual, emotional, physical, social and intellectual health(O’ Donnell,2009).Health status is beyond the control of a individual, thereby, the focus of improving health is diverted to the role of health public policy and environment. Healthy public policy plays an important role in fabricating supportive environments to aid people to lead a healthy lifestyle. The central goal of this policy in collaboration with WHO has been on health promotion (Tones & Green, 2004).Health promotion is a result of three factors 1) effectiveness of initiative 2) penetration of initiative into community 3) sustainability of the initiative. Health promotion initiative focuses to improve public health by modifying the risk factors (Hawe, Noort, King & Jordens, 1997).
