Psycho-Social Model Of Health Promotion

There are five key constructs to the social cognitive theory these are; knowledge, perceived self-efficacy, outcome expectation, goal formation and sociostructural factors. Each of these key concepts plays a certain role as the social cognitive theory intertwines with the health behavior. For the knowledge portion of the key constructs it very easy to understand and see how it plays its role in the correlation with health behavior. Knowledge is the precondition for health behavior. If an individual learns, hears or just becomes aware of a health risk and decides to make a change this is an example of the knowledge base of the SCT. Although knowledge is a necessary, it is not sufficient basis for a behavioral change. Next is the perceived self-efficacy,

The Health Belief Model is commonly used for health promotion and health education. Its’ underlying concept is that health behavior is explained by perception of the disease and the strategies available to lower its occurrence. There are four perceptions of the HBM, which are perceived seriousness, perceived benefit, perceived susceptibility and perceived barriers. In addition to that, more constructs are added to health belief model that includes motivating factor, cues to action and self-efficacy. Each of these constructs in combination or individually, could be used to determine health behavior. The HBM also provides guidelines for the program development allowing planners to address reasons for non-compliance with recommended health action. The health belief model is a process used to promote healthy behavior among individuals who may be at risk of developing adverse health outcomes. A person must gauge their perceptions of severity and susceptibility of developing a disease. Then it is essential to feel vulnerable by these perceptions. Environmental factors can play a role as well as cues to action such as media, and close friends. In order to determine that taking action will be meaningful, the benefits to change must be weighed, against the barriers to change behavior (Green & Murphy, 2014).

The accountability for health promotion within health services is shared between “individuals, community groups, health professionals, health service institutions and governments”. They must be working together towards a health care system which is there to promote the detection of health. The health sectors role is to move progressively in a health promotion direction. However, exceeding its accountability for understanding its clinical and therapeutic services. A requirement for Health services is to adopt and increase approval which can respect cultural needs thoughtfully. The need of individuals and communities for a healthier life, should be supported by approval which can open passage

Health Intervention for the resident of the Community Living facility. Address the following in your intervention:

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not simply the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO, 1948). Similar to a Psychologist, whom seek out, how people think, what causes people to think the way they do, a health psychologist will examine the psychological principles to promote health and to prevent illness. It was psychologist (Gorin 1998), who argued that those working in health promotion must be aware of the values behind what they do. Practicing the application of psychological methods to provide evidence-based interventions to solve, or at least improve the situation.

“An ecological model looks at how the social environment, including interpersonal, organizational, community, and public policy factors, supports and maintains unhealthy behaviors” (211). The major component of the ecological model is that it promotes how the individuals’ behaviors and choices are influenced by the five levels in Public Health. Each level is a target that helps with the spread of health promotion. The first level is intra personal factors, which is the smallest level of the five. It focuses more on the individual, personally, and it revolves around his/her skills, attitudes, and knowledge about himself/herself. The second level is the interpersonal relations, and this is less about the individual, but more focused on the

My name is Vipanpreet kaur and I have done bachelors of Science in nursing now I am doing Masters of public health I just completed my second semester in which I learned about health promotion and disease prevention “Health promotion” that focus mainly on keeping people healthy and it is the process of encouraging people to increase control over for to improve their health. “Disease prevention” focuses specifically on prevention strategies to decrease the hazard of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities. In addition, I improved my knowledge about the social determinants of health mainly address by the health promotion and disease prevention programmes, which impact modifiable risk behaviours. The determinants mainly are the economic,

Third, is the promotion and maintenance of health by utilizing Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model. Health promoting behavior is enhanced through nursing practice, which enhances the patient’s overall well being. This mid-range theory is important today because it guides a supportive and educative system in health promotion in a patient who needs teaching and demonstration in performing self-care. By applying this method the nurse is able to identify patient’s health promoting behavior’s such as, health importance, self-efficacy, perceived control of health and perceived health status to find any gaps and/or barriers to their health promoting behavior (Simmons, 1990). By promoting health the nurse seeks to care for the individual by developing these behaviors of healthy living, which sets the stage for the individuals to gain knowledge to care for themselves. This applies to all nurses who actively promote healthy living by becoming an active influence in developing healthy living behaviors through education and guidance.

Growing evidence suggests that programs focused toward individual health behaviors require a multi-layered approach to helping people accept, change, and maintain healthy behavior. Maintaining a specific behavior over time might require different strategies than will create that behavior in the first place. Models of behavior change have been developed to guide strategies to promote healthy behaviors and enable effective version to and coping with illness. The models are useful concepts for thinking about behavioral change. Each model has its own focus on specific behavioral traits and its own set of limitations. Health is sometimes negatively explained as the lack of disease and injury. Even sometimes as a normative judgment referring to the

The theoretical framework applicable to this project is the Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model. This theory reflects the multi-dimensional nature of the individuals, as they interact within their environment to promote health ("Nursing Theory," 2013). One of the model’s assumptions states that there are several factors that could influence the individual’s beliefs, affect, and enactment of health-promoting behavior. The desired behavioral outcome is health-promoting behavior directed toward attaining a

Finally, the wellbeing promotion officers will use the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Reasoned Action to clarify and predict the individual behavior and may be used to vary

An ideal health promotion and prevention program should include enough information that the audience understands it and that they are able to apply it to their lives. Health promotion and prevention aims to keep people healthy and to employ healthy behaviours. As the World Health Organization states, it is “the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health” (Rural Health Information Hub, 2017). Programs can touch on things like social and environmental factors, as well as other health determinants, to provide people with knowledge of living a healthy lifestyle. Providing information on healthy ideas can include communication, education and following policies/regulations (Rural Health Information Hub, 2017).

Community-Based Health Promotion is a comprehensive, systematic, coordinated approach to long-term health behavior change by influencing the community (cultural) norms through education and community organization. Studies show that most Americans want to lead healthy lives and are eager to improve their lifestyles. In fact, many continuously attempt to change unhealthy behaviors, only to fail. Most health promotion strategies assist individuals in changing health risk behaviors: self-help pamphlet distribution, individual counseling, group education classes, support groups, and health risk appraisals. Careful evaluation of these strategies has shown that long-term behavior change is very difficult for most participants. The failure rate can be 80% or more. The best predictor of health behavior and long-lasting successful behavior change is often the "culture" in which a person lives. Health promotion programs need to make it possible for the community to support healthy behaviors. To do this successfully, the community and its leadership must be mobilized to provide community-based health promotion programs.

Health is usually a complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of a disease or infirmity. In current century people inherits good health, or some may have sickness at times or some may have serious illness. As the lifestyle changes, so does the people’s health changes (Human Kinetics, n.d). By having good health helps people to fully get involved in their communities and also to participate in different activities among the community. Health promotion is the procedure of enabling people to increase control over and enhancing their health. As it strengthens communities’ action and helps developing personal skills (Whanganui district health board, 2015). Health is a very general concept where a balance of factors can affect the wellbeing (Whanganui district health board, 2015). This essay will discuss the importance and application of two health promotion values which will be Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Human rights.

This study consists of two key health promotion features which are awareness creation and health seeking behavior and both translates to behavior change which is fundamental to effective practice of public health. The key elements that influences behavior change are raising awareness of a threat which motivates people to seek information with perception that a recommended positive response will prevent the threat from happening and personal confidence that the threat will be averted.
