25

27
Q

28
Q

● Actualization is the apex of the fully developed personality
● this model: highest aspiration of people is fulfillment and complete development, which is actualization. Illness, in this model, is a condition that prevents self-actualization

A

Eudemonistic

29
Q

✓ illness, also called the ecologic model
✓ used primarily in predicting illness rather than in promoting wellness, although identification of risk factors that result from the interactions of agent, host, and environment are helpful in promoting and maintaining health.
✓ Because each of the agenthost–environment factors constantly interacts with the others, health is an everchanging state.
✓ When the variables are in balance, health is maintained; when the variables are not in balance, disease occurs.
