Concept of Health
The various changing concepts of health as follows:
Biomedical concept
Ecological concept
Psychosocial concept
Holistic concept
Biomedical concept
Traditionally health has been considered as an absence of the diseases and if someone was free from disease, then that person was considered healthy. This concept is known as biomedical concept, and it is based on the “germ theory of the disease.”
Health means “absence of disease.” The medical profession viewed the human body as a machine and disease is an outcome of the breakdown of the machine, and one of the doctor’s tasks was to repair the machine.
This concept has minimized the role of the environment, social and cultural determinants of the health.
Ecological Concept
Deficiencies in the biomedical concept gave rise to other concepts.
The ecologists put forward the concept of ecological concept.
Ecologists viewed health as a dynamic equilibrium between man and his environment, and the disease as a maladjustment of the human organism to environment
Psychosocial Concept
Advances in social sciences showed that health is not only a biomedical phenomenon, but one which is influenced by social, psychological, cultural factors of the people concerned.
Mental wellbeing must be taken into consideration in defining and measuring health.
Thus health is both a biological and social phenomenon
Holistic Concept
The holistic model is a synthesis of all the above concepts.
Holistic concept recognizes the strength of social, economic, political and environmental influences on health.
It has been variously described as multidimensional process involving the wellbeing of the person as a whole.
The emphasis is on the promotion and protection of health.

usually live in the same house hold, are related by blood, marriage or adoption and
sexual relationship is socially approved by the parents.
• The family is very important social group in community health. It provides love,
security, and a sense of belonging for Indivinduals from the time they are born.
• Many of the people characteristics are influenced by the family. A child learns from the
family what behavior is acceptable in the community and the language its parents
speak.
• Families have a strong influence on what each other member does.
• Often, there is an important figure in the family who makes the decisions or whose
opinions are highly valued. Thus the opinion of the people in he family may be more
important to a person than the opinion of the health worker
• This ultimately has got an important effects on health behavior and the use of health
services.
10. TYPES OF FAMILIES
• There are different types of families in a community. Look at each in turn.
1.The Nuclear Family
• This consists of a husband and a wife with or without children. This type of family
brings forth children (family of procreation). Children born in this family consider it to be
the family of their origin.
2. The Extended Family
• This is also called a joint extended family. This family includes members of nuclear
families and other relatives, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and grandparents.
3. Single Parent Family
• This is formed when one parent brings up children alone either because of divorce,
separation, death or desertion of their spouse.
4.The Blended Family
• This type of family is formed when husband and wife bring into the new marriage
unrelated children from their previous marriages.
11. FUNCTIONS OF A FAMILY
• The family has many important functions, these include:
i. Bringing about a sense of togetherness and a balance between individual and
shared (mutual) action by each family member; nurturance and trust; stability and
integrity of the group; interdependence and the ability to meet demands for survival
and development
ii. Socializing its members into the larger community
iii. Teaching respect for individual members and their property. This includes respect for
differences among the family members and others
iv. Teaching tolerance, fairness and a sense of right or wrong among its members and
others
v. Caring for its members and developing a sense of trust between and among its
members
vi. Providing an environment for learning and internalising individual and gender roles
and responsibilities
12. FACTORS AFFECTING FAMILY HEALTH
• The health of a family can be influenced by both internal and external factors:
• Internal factors:
Family size
Structure
Type of members
Relationships
Biological characteristics and values
External factors are:
Family locality
Climate and terrain
Water supply and air

vii. Equitable distribution of resources
viii. Having looked at the aims, goals, and benefits of community health, you will now
explore the activities which you are expected to undertake in community health, also
referred to as the scope of community health.

v. Inter-sectoral collaboration
vi. Health education, counseling, and the training of other health workers
22. PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY HEALTH
• Before you explore the principles of community health, first look at the definition of
the word ‘principle’. A principle can be defined as: A basic belief, theory, or rule
that has a major influence on the way in which something is done.
• Principles are the basic ideas of conduct or rules of action. Principles of
Community Health (Alma Ata Declaration - WHO 1978)
i. Availability of health care for all people and at a cost they can afford
ii. Promotive and preventive aspects of health care
iii. Integration of curative and preventive services
iv. Active participation of individuals and communities in the planning and provision
of care
v. Development of maximum potential for self-care
vi. Utilisation of all levels and types of community manpower
vii. Inter-sectoral approach
24. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD
• The triad describes the relationship between various factors that cause disease and
how they interact to determine disease occurrence. The factors, namely agent and
host, interact in the environment to cause disease in humans. The natural
progression of a disease is influenced by the following factors:
i. The causative agent(s)
ii. The susceptible host
iii. The environment
iv. The vector(s) in some diseases
26. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD [1]
1.The agent is the harmful etiological factor that causes health problems. The
etiological factor (agent) may cause disease either by its presence or by its absence. The
causative agent may be a substance, living or non-living, excessively present or lacking,
tangible or non-tangible.
2. Physical Agents
• These include mechanical forces such as friction, extreme heat, cold, humidity,
pressure, sound, radiation, electricity, etc.
3. Biological Agents
• Living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, chlamydia, rickettsiae, protozoa, viruses,
mycoplasma, helminths.
4. Chemical Agents
• Endogenous chemical agents are those which are made by the body as a result of
abnormal metabolism, for example urea (uremia), serum bilirubin (jaundice), ketones
(ketosis, keto- acidosis), uric acid (gout), calcium carbonate(renal stones), etc.
27. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD [2]
Exogenous chemical agents : arise from outside the body, for example allergens,
meals, fumes, gases, insecticides, etc. Exogenous chemical agents may enter into the
body tissues through inhalation, ingestion or inoculation.
Genetic Agents :Transmitted from parent to child through genes.
Nutrient Agents :Excessive or deficient intake of nutrients. This results in malnutrition
related diseases such as the most common Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM), for
example kwashiorkor and marusmus. Other examples include iron deficiency anaemia
28. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD [3]
Excessive or Relative Lack
• Endocrine disorders, for example diabetes mellitus (lack of insulin),
thyrotoxicosis (excess thyroid hormone).
• Immunodeficiency (HIV infection, some drugs). The human or animal that
comes into contact with and is affected by the agent is the host. Some factors
within the host determine its interaction with the agent.
• Age: Some diseases are more common in certain age groups:
Childhood: measles, whooping cough, chickenpox.
Adulthood: diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases.
Old age: pneumonia, cancers and arteriosclerosis.
29. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD[4]
• Lifestyle : Lifestyle choices such as: dietary habits, smoking, alcohol consumption,
substance abuse, casual sexual intercourse.
• Nutrition : Nutritional status is a major factor where food is either of inadequate
quantity, quality or both.
• Tradition : Tradition (culture, custom): food beliefs, child- rearing practices, rituals (for
example female genital mutilation).
30. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD[5]
• Mobility: International and local travel, which may expose
• an individual to new diseases.
• Immune Status : Lack of previous exposure to a disease, lack of vaccination, or poor
natural immunity (immune deficiency). All these are referred to as intrinsic factors.
31. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD [7]
• Biological: This includes all the living things in and around where humans live.
The living things include animals, plants and micro-organisms.
• Social and Economic:This is the human society in which every human being
lives. Men and women live among others in groups in which there are shared
values, customs, habits, beliefs, attitude and culture. Conflicts among human
beings lead to tension which may cause mental and behavioural disorders.
• Examples of social economic factors include; Housing, water, lighting, sanitation,
area of residence, food, education, occupation, working environment and health
care among others.
33. PREVENTION
• Is the art and science of health promotion, diseases prevention, disability
34.
35. LEVELS OF PREVENTION
• Diseases evolve over time and the pathological changes become less reversible as the
disease process continues.
• There are three stages in the development of a disease, namely, healthy, sub- clinical or
pre-symptomatic, and clinical. It is obvious that the best sort of prevention is that applied
before the person becomes ill.
• A three-level model for intervention, based on the stages of the disease, was developed
by Level and Clark (1965). The three levels of the model are:
i. Primary prevention of disease
ii. Secondary prevention of disease
iii. Tertiary prevention of disease
36. 1. PRIMARY PREVENTION
This is the actual prevention of a disease. Primary prevention is carried out before the
disease or dysfunction has occurred in the body. It is directed at decreasing the risks of
acquiring the disease.
Primary prevention methods applied to people and the environment include: health
education; environmental sanitation; supply of clean safe water; adequate
nutrition; rest; sleep; recreation; personal hygiene; good working conditions;
good housing; regular medical checkups; screening for disease; genetic
screening and counseling; immunization against specific disease; avoidance of
home, traffic, and industrial accidents.
Remember:
Prevention is better than cure.
37. 2. SECONDARY PREVENTION
• Secondary prevention aims at diagnosing a disease early and treating it even before
the symptoms have appeared.
• This is the second stage of disease which is called sub-clinical or pre-symptomatic.
The main goal is to cure the disease completely in its early stages or slow down its
progression, in order to prevent the development of complication and disability.
• This kind of prevention often requires screening, to find the people who have the
illness but don't know they have it.
38. WHAT HAPPENS IN SECONDARY PREVENTION
• Activities of Secondary Prevention
i. Screening tests to detect early the pre- symptomatic physiological and
anatomical indicators of disease, for example pap smear, random blood sugar
test,.
ii. Case finding and case-tracing.
iii. Screening surveys and examinations.
iv. Mass treatment and campaigns.
v. Adequate treatment of disease.
vi. Follow-up of treated patients at special clinics and at their homes.
Remember:
• Secondary prevention detects disease early by screening and starts treatment
promptly
39. 3. TERTIARY PREVENTION
• This means diagnosing and treating people who are already sick with a disease, in
order to reduce suffering, cure the disease, and prevent disability.
• Hence, aim is to: reduce or limit impairment and disability, minimize suffering caused
by existing disease, promote the patients adjustment to irremediable condition
• If a permanent disability such as blindness or paralysis remains, then special
rehabilitation services may be necessary. Most of the curative work that goes on in the
outpatient and inpatient departments occurs at this stage of disease.
40. CURATIVE
• In this stage, a susceptible person develops clinical illness. The disease causing
organism make the individual to start feeling unwell. Thus, he goes to seek medical
consultation.
• The susceptible host may be given medication like analgesics, antibiotics or
chemotherapy and after taking them, he gets cured. So, the aim of curative is to cure
a disease.
• Additionally, the person may be done laboratory and radiology investigations and be
treated according to the outcome of the results and subsequently get cured and his
health be restored back to normal.
• That's curative
41. PROMOTIVE [1]
• Health Promotion is the process of helping people to adopt healthier patterns of
behaviour.
• Terminology: the term Health Education is still used, but some people feel it implies
only one part of this process – the giving of information and motivation. The term
Health Promotion, which has come from the AIDS field, is commonly fashionable.
Information, Education and Communication (IEC) is used in the Family Planning field.
The newest name is BCC – Behavioural Change and Communication.
• Classic Health Education describes the kind of short talks to groups of mothers which
are given so often in PHC, about nutrition or preventing diarrhoea or whatever. Often
these talks are, top-down and one-way – examples of the "empty bottles" approach
that sees people as empty bottles, which only need to be filled up with scientific
knowledge for them to change behaviour.
42. PROMOTIVE [2]
• Now, workers focus on Behaviour Change; this can only happen if and when the individual
gets the right skills. Take for example a young girl at risk of sexual exploitation and HIV
infection. Good health BCC might help her to learn how to say “No”, might point her to other
ways to earn a living and support her six orphan brothers and sisters. This is done after the
girl and the Educator analysis why she might make certain choices rather than others.
• So the approach is to provide some new information and motivation for change; it might start
by considering sessions on FP or Malaria in an MCH Clinic and conclude that:
• • The information is directed at mothers, but cannot help If husbands or mothers-in-law make
decisions; These people must be offered an information session as well, and at a good time.
• • Health education may be used where community mobilisation is a better way to go – if
malaria is the problem, a community can reduce infection with weed-clearing and smoke.
Means and materials are also important – for malaria control, they need medicines, mosquito
nets and the money to buy them. Perhaps a cash crop?
43. HEALTH PROMOTION INCLUDES THE
FOLLOWING
• Health education
• Environmental modification (reducing air pollution, safe water , sanitary latrines, control
of insects, and improving housings
• Engineering lifestyle ( anti smoking campaign, condom promotion,etc
• Genetic and marriage counseling so as to prevent congenital diseases
• Increasing the standard of living ( the income, education, and occupational status)
• Health legislation I.e. forming rigid standards of health care
44. SPECIFIC PROTECTION
• This are measures which target particular disease:
i. Immunization
ii. Nutrient supplementation (vitamin A , iodine)
iii. Protection against occupational hazard ( masks, PPE)
iv. Avoiding allergens
v. Quality control of consumer products
46. REHABILITATIVE
• Rehabilitation is to restore to a condition of good health, ability to work. It assists a
person in recovering from a deteriorating condition.
• The people to be rehabilitated are:
i. Drug and substance abuse addicts
ii. Persons with disabilities like amputation,
iii. Persons with mental and psychiatric disorders
iv. Persons with chronic disease conditions like leprosy
47. REASONS FOR REHABILITATION
i. Prevention for loss of function
ii. Slowing the rate of loss of functions
iii. Improvement or restoration of function
iv. Compensation for lost functions
v. Maintenance of current function
48. TYPES OF HANDICAPS
• Physical :- poliomyelitis
• Mental:- autism
• Social:- orphans
REHABILITATION:
There is combined use of:
i. Medical, social,educational and vocational measures
ii. For training and retraining the disabled person
iii. To the highest level of rehabilitation
49. FOUR DIMENSIONS OF REHABILITATION
1) Medical : if possible restoration of function (physiotherapy/gadgets etc)
2) Vocational:- restoration of the capacity to earn a livelihood (training and creating
jobs)
3) Social: re- introduction into family and society as a whole involving everyone to
maintain the same relationship with this person
4) Psychic: restoration of self confidence and self esteem.
