This provides specific protection
against disease to prevent its
occurrence in the most desirable form of prevention.
Preventive measures consist of
counseling, education, and adoption
of specific health practices or changes
in lifestyle
Primary prevention
This focuses on
(a) health promotion and
(b) protection
against specific health problems.
Primary prevention
This consists of organized, direct screening efforts on education of the public to promote early case finding of an individual with disease so that prompt intervention can be instituted to halt pathologic processes and limit disability.
Secondary prevention
This begins early in the period of
recovery from illness and consists of
such activities as consistent and
appropriate administration of
medications to optimize therapeutic
effects, moving and positioning to
prevent complications of immobility and passive and active exercises to prevent disability.
Tertiary prevention
- designed to be a “complementary
counterpart to models of health protection. - defines health as a positive dynamic state not merely the absence of disease
- multi dimensional nature of
persons as they interact within their
environment to pursue health.
Health Promotion Model by Nola Pender
What are the three factors hat contributed to the outcome of the HPM?
- Individual Characteristics and Experiences
- Behavior specific cognitions and affect
- Behavioral outcome health promoting behavior
is the belief in one’s ability to succeed in achieving an outcome or reaching a goal. This belief, specific to a task or an area of knowledge or performance, shapes the behaviors and strategies that help one pursue their goal.
It is a belief that one has the capabilities to execute the courses of actions required to manage prospective situations
Self-efficacy
refers to one’s previous and related experiences, which can influence their perception of whether
or not one has the competence to perform the task at hand. This tends to be what influences self-efficacy the most.
performance experience
refers to the observed performances and experiences of others like oneself in a similar situation.
vicarious experience
refers to verbal encouragement or
discouragement about a person’s ability to perform. Typically, the more credible the source, the more impact this source is likely to have on a person’s self-efficacy.
social persuasion
refers to a person’s use of their imagination to envision his or her success at a task.
imaginal experience
refers to how one experiences physical sensations and emotional states when facing the task or challenge
physical and emotional states
was developed in the early 1950s by social scientists at the U.S in order to understand the failure of people to adopt disease prevention strategies or screening tests for the early detection of disease.
suggests that a person’s belief in a
personal threat of an illness or disease together with a person’s belief in the effectiveness of the recommended health behavior or action will predict the likelihood the person will adopt the behavior.
health belief model (HBM)
__ beliefs are cognitions that determine whether health behavior change will be initiated, how much effort will be expended, and how long it will be sustained in
the face of obstacles and failures.
___ influences the effort one puts forth to change risk behavior and the persistence to continue striving despite barriers and setbacks that may undermine motivation.
Self-efficacy
what are the components of the HBM
perceived susceptibility
perceived severity
perceived benefits
perceived barriers
cue to action
self- efficacy
This refers to a person’s subjective perception of the risk of acquiring an illness or disease.
perceived susceptibility
This refers to a person’s
feelings on the seriousness of contracting an illness or disease (or leaving the illness or disease untreated).
perceived severity
This refers to a person’s
perception of the effectiveness of various actions available to reduce the threat of illness or disease (or to cure illness or disease).
perceived benefits
This refers to a person’s
feelings on the obstacles to performing a recommended health action. There is wide variation in a person’s feelings of barriers, or
impediments, which lead to a cost/benefit analysis
perceived barriers
This is the stimulus needed
to trigger the decision-making process to accept a recommended health action.
cue to action
This refers to the level of a
person’s confidence in his or her ability to successfully perform a behavior
