HC 1 Flashcards
Prevention model:
What are the three kinds of prevention? (No explanation)
- Primary prevention
- Secondary prevention
- Tertiary prevention
Primary prevention
= Preventing an illness, the target group is healthy people
Secondary prevention
= Tracing an illness in the early phase, for early treatment or prevention of more serious complaints. The target group is (healthy) people with an increased risk
Tertiary prevention
= Prevention of further complications and worsening of symptoms, the target group is ill people
Health behavior
WHO= state of complete physical, mental & social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
Reductionisme & Biomedical model
Gedrag is te reduceren to het fysiek functioneren van het lichaam & ziekte heeft een pathologische oorzaak en kan worden verholpen door een medische behandeling
Bio-psychosocial model
Biology+psychology+social context = health
- Body and mind in interaction determine health + illness.
- Interplay of bio, psycho & social factors
- They influence each other continuously
Incidentie
Aantal nieuwe gevallen van de ziekte per tijdseenheid
Prevalentie
Aantal mensen dat een bepaalde ziekte heeft op een bepaald moment

Types of health behaviors (Matarazzo), 2x

- related to mortality (death) & morbidity (unhealthy condition)
- socio-demographic and socio-economic differences increase
- prevalence of risk behaviors is high
- health behavior is not always an informed choice
Health behavior is not always an informed choice, influence on this can lead to adverse effects:
- increase in SES differences
- hardening (I don’t trust the government)
- stigmatising (shame & blame)
Idiosyncratic
“een eigenzinnig persoon” (odd, peculiar), characteristics that are unique to a person and determine e.g. how is dealt with disappointment etc.
Adherence
