Not at all

Perfectly

No one is sick, preventing disease from occurring
Less costly that treating disease (secondary & tertiary prevention)
Goal: to prevent disease from occurring
Implemented while individuals are healthy and have not yet developed disease
Aimed at susceptible individuals who have no discernible disease/pathology
Ex: education, safe sex, IMMUNIZATIONS, etc.

Primary Prevention

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

Disease has occurred and we are trying to find it early, hopefully before symptoms appear
Aim is to either reverse the process (cure) or reduce the severity of the disease
Goal: detect disease in its early stages
Ex: vision/hearing screenings, pap smears, BP screenings, etc.

Secondary Prevention

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

Trying to limit the amount of disease or disability a person experiences
Symptom management/reduction
Goal: to improve the course of disease, reduce disability, or rehabilitate
Aimed at people with clinically apparent disease

Paying for Telehealth

Looks at individual, social, and physical environmental factors that influence a person’s health promoting behaviors, or lack thereof
Many levels of influence, or social environments that enhance/deter behavior
How family, friends, & communities influence the food you eat, activities you engage in, and opportunity for health promoting behaviors
Be aware of which influences are/are not within individual control
Eliminates victim blaming bc poor health is not viewed as a personal failure

Ecological Model for Health Promotion

Changes in the social environment will produce changes in individuals
Support of the individual in the population is essential for implementing environmental change

Assumption of Ecological Model

Ecological Model of Health Promotion Key Factors
The first level includes characteristics of the individual; can work to change an individual to achieve health outcomes
Nursing interventions aimed at changing the individual rather than modifying the social environment
Attempt to change the individual through education, counseling, mass media campaigns, or incentives

Intrapersonal Factors

Ecological Model of Health Promotion Key Factors
The factors include the social networks that provide emotional support, information, access to new social contracts, and social roles
Goal: change the nature of the existing social relationships
Targets of the Interventions: change norms of groups, increase accessibility to favorable groups, create alternative networks

Interpersonal Factors

Ecological Model of Health Promotion Key Factors
Social institutions with organizational characteristics and formal/informal rules & regulations for operations (schools & worksites)
Health behaviors are influenced by worksites, schools, places of worship, etc. (access to food, availability of exercise equipment, stress management policies)
Beneficial bc access to large # of people & social support for behavioral change
Challenging bc health of workers may not be part of mission statement & employers may not feel employee health is their responsibility
Goal: change “corporate culture” & include health related norms/values as part of mission & philosophy

Organizational/Institutional Factors

Ecological Model of Health Promotion Key Factors
Looks at relationships among organizations, institutions, and informal networks within defined boundaries; power structures in community, community health problems, and allocation of resources
Target of intervention: increase coordination among community organizations and coalition building
Include representation rom disadvantaged population on community boards; community organizing strategies

Community Factors

Ecological Model of Health Promotion Key Factors
Local, state, and national laws and policies (policies that restrict behaviors; behavioral incentives)
Allocation of programmatic resources and federal restrictions on how funds can be allocated
Public advocacy; encourage citizen participation in political process (voting & lobbying)
REMEMBER: The MOST effective way to change someone’s behavior is to regulate it

Public Policy Factors

Drastic inequalities in health from impoverished to wealthy countries
Health is very sensitive to social environment
Goal: Improve social and physical environments to promote optimal health
Economic stability
Education
Health/Healthcare
Neighborhood & Built Environment
Social/Community Context

Healthy People

Started with 1979 Surgeon General’s Report
Jurisdiction: USDHHS
1990: Promoting Health/Disease: Objectives for the Nation
2000: National Health Promotion & Disease Prevention Objectives
2010: Objectives for Improving Health
2020: New topic areas & progress reports

History of Healthy People

Vision: a society in which all people can achieve their full potential for health & wellbeing across the lifespan
Mission: to promote, strengthen, and evaluate the nation’s efforts to improve the health and wellbeing of all people

Healthy People 2030

Genes and biology (sex, age, family Hx, inherited disease)
Health behaviors (diet, exercise, substance abuse, hygiene practices)
Health services/Medical care (cost, access to quality healthcare, language barrier, insurance status)
Social environment/characteristics (discrimination, socioeconomic status, pollution, quality of schools)
Policy making (laws and regulations at local, state, and federal level)

Determinants of Health

Unless a person sees some value in making a behavior change, there will be no reason to consider the change
Premise: in order for disease prevention & health promotion activities to be successful –> the client has to be willing to participate & health is highly values

Health Belief Model

Based on the understanding that a person will take health-related action if that person:
Feels that a negative health condition can be avoided
Has a positive expectation that by taking a recommended action, a negative health condition can be avoided
Believes that a recommended health action can be successfully accomplished

HBM Core Assumptions

Main variable of HBM
The degree to which a person believes he/she is at risk for a particular disease or health problem

Perceived susceptibility

Main variable of HBM
The perceived consequences of getting the disease
Modifying factors:
Demographic variables
Sociopsychological variables
Structural variables

Perceived severity

Main variable of HBM
Perceived problems to overcome in changing the behavior

Perceived barriers

Main variable of HBM
Perception that there are benefits to be gained from changing the behavior

Perceived benefits

Mass media campaigns
Advice from others
Reminder cards from primary care providers
Illness of family members or friends
Newspaper or magazine articles

Cues to Action (HBM)

Consists of components of perceived benefits or preventive action minus perceived barriers to preventive action
Likelihood = Benefits - Barriers
*Think good - bad

Likelihood of Action (HBM)

Theory based on a person’s expectation relative to a specific course of action
Deals with belief that one can accomplish a specific action
Involves strategies such as modeling, demonstration, and verbal reinforcement

Self-Efficacy (HBM)

Theory consisting of processes of change that predict successful behavior changes
Stages:
Precontemplation
Contemplation
Preparation
Action
Maintenance
Termination
*Relapse

Transtheoretical Model of Change

First stage of Transtheoretical model
The subject has no intention of changing behavior in the foreseeable future
People in this stage tend to be unaware that they have a problem and are resistant to efforts to modify a behavior

Precontemplation

Intervention to help transition from precontemplation to contemplation
Finding and learning new facts, ideas, and tips that support healthy behavior change

Consciousness raising

Intervention to help transition from precontemplation to contemplation
Experiencing the negative emotions (fear, anxiety, worry) that go along with unhealthy behavioral risks

Dramatic Relief

Intervention to help transition from precontemplation to contemplation
Realizing negative impact of unhealthy behavior or positive impact of healthy behavior on one’s proximal social and physical environment

Environmental-Reevaluation

Second stage of Transtheoretical model
Subjects are aware that they have a problem and are seriously thinking about resolving it, but they have not yet made a commitment to take action in the near future

Contemplation

Intervention to help transition from contemplation to preparation
Realizing that the behavioral change is an important part of one’s identity as a person

Self-Reevaluation

Third stage of Transtheoretical model
This is the stage of decision-making; the person has made the commitment to take action within the next 30 days and is already making small behavioral changes

Preparation

Intervention to help transition from preparation to action
Making a firm commitment to change

Self-liberation

Fourth stage of Transtheoretical model
Subjects make notable efforts to change
Classified in this stage if the person has modified the target behavior to an acceptable criterion

Action

Intervention to help transition from action to maintenance
Contingency management
Increase the rewards for the positive behavioral change & decrease rewards of the unhealthy behavior

Reinforcement Management

Intervention to help transition from action to maintenance
Seeking and using social support for the healthy behavioral change

Helping relationships

Intervention to help transition from action to maintenance
Substituting healthy alternative behaviors and cognitions for the unhealthy behavior

Counterconditioning

Intervention to help transition from action to maintenance
Removing reminders or cues to engage in the unhealthy behavior and adding cues or reminders to engage in the healthy behavior

Stimulus Control

Intervention to help transition from action to maintenance
Realizing that the social norms are changing in the direction of supporting the healthy behavioral change

Social Liberation

Fifth stage of Transtheoretical model
Subjects are working to stabilize their behavior change and avoid relapse
In general, it’s sustaining action for at least 6 months

Maintenance

Sixth stage of Transtheoretical model
Applies only to some behaviors, especially the addictions
Individual does not have any temptations
May not be appropriate for some behaviors such as cancer screening & dietary fat reduction

Termination

Not a real stage of Transtheoretical model
People must learn to treat this as a limited minor setback rather than a defeat; strategies need to be implemented to get the person to return to contemplation, preparation, or action stages

Relapse

Child development
Economic stability
Emergency preparedness
Environmental health
Overweight & obesity
Vaccination

Healthy People 2030 Overarching Goals for Children

Cancer

Healthy People 2030 Overarching Goals for Adolescents

Means completely accidental; the outcome was not anticipated
Ex: riding bike w/o helmet and getting head injury
Ex: driving drunk and getting into car accident
Intent is NOT to get hurt

Unintentional Injury

Involves activity with intent to cause harm
Ex: carrying a weapon (assumption is that you will use it)

Intentional Injury

The more assets a young person has, the fewer risky behaviors they are likely to engage in and the more positive outcomes they will experience
Focuses on ALL children (not just those at risk for negative outcomes)
Emphasizes a community approach to promoting adolescent health

Developmental Assets Framework

Adolescent perceptions of their parents knowledge of who they are spending their time with
Less perceived monitoring has been associated with a higher degree of participation in risky behaviors

Parental Monitoring

Negative effects on physical & mental health
Impacts home, school, neighborhoods, and communities
Greater risk for poor academic achievement, school drop-out, abuse & neglect, behavioral and socio-emotional problems, physical health problems, and developmental delays
All may contribute to lower life expectancy

Trying to live up to expectations
“Golden rule”
Judge morality of actions based on its consequences in terms of a person’s relationships, respect, and gratitude

Sense of obligation and duty to uphold laws and rules

Stage 4: Authority and Social Order Obedience Driven (conventional)

Individuals are viewed as holding different opinions and values
Laws are regarded as social contracts rather than rigid dictum
Laws that don’t promote general welfare should be changed when necessary for the greater good

Stage 5: Social Contract Driven (post-conventional)

Moral reasoning is based on abstract reasoning using ethical principles
Laws are valid only insofar as they are grounded in justice and that a commitment to justice carries with it an obligation to disobey unjust laws
One acts bc it is right, not bc it’s instrumental, expected, legal, or previously agreed upon

Stage 6: Universal Ethical Principles Driven
