Q

Describe the Biomedical Approach “Preventative Health Care”

A

Concept of health is the absence of disease

The health determinant is the physiological risk factor, i.e. Cardiovascular disease

Target populations are high risk groups due to the risk factors

Strategies include screening for risk factors, patient education and immunization

Managed by the health professionals managing the health care

Success criteria measured by the decrease in morbidity and mortality rates as well as decrease in the prevalence of risk factors

Still vital for public health practice

Q

What are the Benefits to Socio-Environmental Approach?

A

Community action and involvement in health “bottom up approach” –ppl. Stand up and say we are not going to live in this type of environment, we will not tolerate contaminated water, so its community driven

More likely that individuals will take a vested interest in their health when doing it collectively

Collaborative efforts with the health professionals, community members and stakeholder

17
Q

What are the challenges to Socio-Environmental Approach?

A

Healthier lifestyles are difficult to adopt when your environment is not conductive to being healthy

Don’t take into account individual differences responses to the changes

Vested interests by others or poor relationships can deter health promotion activities

Slow to build healthy public policy

Need community “buy-in”

18
Q

What are the nursing implications for the Socio-Environmental Approach?

A

In biomedical model, nurses take on health preventative roles and can similarly share the role in a behavioural/lifestyle model

In the behavioural/lifestyle approach nurses are educators, counsellors and life coaches

In socio-environmental approach, nurses act to empower people, communities, collaborator with community groups in promotion of health, health prevention and health protection

19
Q

Describe the upstream/downstream approach

A

Downstream often associated with the medical model

Upstream interventions are intended to help people maintain or improve their health before it is compromised and to focus on wider influences on health inequalities

20
Q

List some of the Downstream Features

A

Short term, individual-based interventions after the health issue is identified
• Microscopic view
• Examines individual responses to health and illness
• Emphasis on individual behavior and lifestyle
• Manage problems as they come along

21
Q

List some of the upstream Features

A

Focus on modifying economic, political and environmental factors that are precursors to poor health
• Macroscopic view
• Looks at factors in the population that affect health
• Emphasis on social, economic and environmental precursors
• Nursing interventions are aimed at social and environmental variables
• May involve social or political action

22
Q

Desribe the Population Health Promotion Model (PHPM)

A

PHPM was developed by Health Canada an effort to bridge the gap between population health and health promotion

The PHPM reflects the socio-environmental perspective

The model combines the Ottawa Charter strategies, determinants of population health, and potential interventions

Focus is on public policy that responds to the health disparities

A limitation of the PHPM is that it does not provide an explanatory model regarding the exact pathways between the determinants of health and health status

23
Q

What is the view of Health Promotion from a Population Health Perspective?

A

Empowerment for populations:

  • Enabling reflection: understand their oppression
  • Developing meaningful strategies: change
  • As nurses we can help reflect and connect them

“Bottom up” approach:

  • health promoters work with groups
  • part of the group
  • Consciousness raising, liberation, & empowerment
  • Helping groups understand the political, social, historical, & economic impediments to health
24
Q

Describe the evolution of Primary Health Care

A

1st described in The Alma Ata in 1978

Essential health care, based on practical, scientifically sound methods

Universally accessible

Full participation from communities

Education, adequate food supply, safe water and sanitation, maternal child health, immunization, prevention of disease, appropriate treatments and essential drugs are essential elements of PHC

4 sets of reforms have been proposed including:

  • Universal coverage
  • Service delivery accessible to the community
  • Public policy
  • leadership
  • intended to promote CHN action towards socially just health system change
  • Despite efforts towards social justice in Canada, large cities, Ottawa, Vancouver and Toronto are reporting significant increases in homelessness, people without health care access
25
Q

Describe Primary Health Care vs. Primary Care vs. Health Promotion vs. Population Health

A

Primary care person-centered approach to providing care, continuity, comprehensiveness and integration of services

Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over and improve their health

Population health refers to health outcomes and their distribution in the population

26
Q

Whats the CHN Role in Primary Health Care?

A

Observing the strengths and gaps in the current health care system, advocating for change

Educating individuals and communities and engaging in PHC activities

CHNs share a close relationship with individual and community clients

Work in multiple roles to create the environments and capacity needed to achieve health for all

Use exploratory dialogue to assist others to question the status quo and provide the basis for a shared vision and plans for action

Nurses are the largest group of health care providers in PHC

27
Q

Describe Equality in Health for All in terms of social justice, community development & empowerment

A

Social justice is a principle that would allow everyone to have equality of opportunity for health

Equality of opportunity for health is influenced by political, social and economic structures

Community development: people/communities should control factors that affect their lives.

Empowerment: people/communities achieve control, political efficacy, improved community life, and social justice

Coalition formation and political advocacy

Community (3 decks)
