Outcome 1 Flashcards
What is Social Development?
The increasing complexity of behaviour patterns used in relationships withs other people.
What is Physical Development?
Changes to the body and it’s systems. These can be changes in size (growth), complexity (the increase in complexity of the nervous system) and motor skills (learning to walk)
What is Intellectual Development?
The development of processes in the brain such as thought, knowledge and memory.
What is emotional development?
The development of the full range of emotions and the optimal way of dealing with and expressing them.
Fine Motor Skill
The manipulation and coordination of small muscle groups such as those in the hands.
Gross Motor Skill
The manipulation and coordination of large muscle groups such as those in the arms and legs.
Abstract Thought
A complex thought process where ideas are the focus rather than tangible objects.
Determinant of Health
Factors that raise or lower the level of health in a population or individual. Determinants of health help to explain or predict trends in health and why some groups have better or worse health than others
DALY
A Measure of burden of disease. One DALY equals one year of healthy life lost due to premature death and time lived with illness, disease or injury.
Physical Health
Relates to the efficient functioning of the body and it’s systems , and includes the physical capacity to perform tasks and physical fitness.
Mental Health
State of well being in which the individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.
Social Health
Being able to interact with others and participate in the community in both an independent and cooperative way.
Health Status
An individual’s or a population’s overall health, taking into account various aspects such as life expectancy, amount of disability, and levels of disease risk factors.
Life Expectancy
An indication of how long a person can expect to live if the current death rates remain unchanged.
Incidence
Refers to the number (or rate) of new case of a disease/condition in a population during a given period.
Prevalence
The number of proportion of cases of a particular disease or condition present in a population at a given time.
Morbidity
Refers to ill-health in an individual to levels of ill-health in a population.
Mortality
Refers to death in a population
Burden of Disease
A measure of the impact of diseases and injuries; specifically it measures the gap between current health status and an ideal situation where everyone lives to an old age free of disability. It is measured using DALY’s.
Health
A complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Individual Human Development
The series of orderly predictable changes that occur from conception until death. Can be physical, social, emotional or intellectual.
YLD
A measure of how many ‘healthy’ years of life lost due to illness, injury or disability.
YLL
A measure of how many years of expected life are lost due to premature death.
Biological Determinant
Are factors relating to the the body that affect health and development.
