Introduction
Health is often used to refer to a state of physical, mental, social and spiritual well- being of the individual. Thus, mental health is one of the components of the broad concept of health. It is concerned with an optimum level of emotional and behavioral adjustment of the individual. It is a state of maintaining harmony or balance between the needs, desires, aspirations and attitudes of the individual with respect to the prevailing conditions in the external environment.
Mental health in that How a person: looks at own’s self looks at own’s life and the others thinks, feels, and acts when faced with life's situations evaluates those challenges and problems, and explore choices. i.e. handling stress, relating to other people, and making decisions.

HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES IN UGANDA PRESENTATIONThomas Owondo
Traditional cultural practices: They reflect values & beliefs held by members of a community for periods often spanning generations. Some are beneficial, some have neither benefits nor harms, and some are harmful to a specific group e.g. Female Genital Mutilation & child marriage.
Female genital mutilation (FGM): Any procedure that involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
Child marriage: Formal marriage or informal union before the age of 18 years.
Harmful traditional practices among adolescents are an important problem:
Over 200 million girls & women are estimated to be living with the effects of FGM which is predominantly performed on girls under the age of 18 years.
Every year, about 12 million girls are married before the age of 18.
Harmful traditional practices among adolescents can have serious health & social consequences:
FGM has no known health benefits,. It can cause immediate health consequences - hemorrhage, shock, infections & death & can cause long-term health & social consequences such as post-traumatic stress disorder & menstrual health problems. Women with type III FGM have an increased likelihood of experiencing problems during child birth. Babies born to children with FGM are at increased risk of neonatal complications.
Child marriage often leads to early childbearing in young girls which is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy-related mortality & morbidity and of increased risk of mortality and morbidity in babies born to a adolescent mothers. Child marriage is also associated with an increased risk of intimate partner violence. Finally, it has a negative effect on educational attainment.
HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY PRESENTATION BY ME.pptxThomas Owondo
It is understood now that life style has a great impact on health and overall wellbeing of a person. Many of the health problems related to some serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease etc are due to unhealthy behavior or lifestyle choices an individual makes (e.g smoking or overeating).
The perception of Health also has become changed as health is not just being away from diseases but it is overall positive well being. (Brannon & Feist, 2010).
These concepts led researchers to further focus on healthy behaviors and lifestyle of people, generally. Psychology as a science of behavior has much to contribute to the field of health psychology. It has become a fast growing area within clinical psychology.
Health Sector Strategic Plan Assignment.pptxThomas Owondo
A Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP) is a comprehensive roadmap developed by specific stakeholders to guide the direction, priorities, and strategies for improving the health system. It analyses and outlines goals and actions for a healthcare organization over a specific period.
It involves assessing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to formulate strategies that enhance healthcare delivery. These plans often prioritize community involvement and individual responsibility for health services.
Strategic planning in health care, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), refers to the process of defining an organization’s direction and making decisions that align with its long-term goals.

Improving Healthy Practices with social and behavioral change
Combining global best practices with locally-led solutions.
The capacity-strengthening capabilities demonstrate improving equity and outcomes by directly improving the capacity of local organizations and institutions to deliver health services
Approaches include;
Community Mobilization, Social & Behavior Change
Human-centered design principles to mobilize communities and families for healthier behaviors and care-seeking practices. Central to our behavior change approach, men engaged as clients, partners, and fathers in child health and development.
Engagement of community leaders: through training and capacity-building for community leaders, the development of Community Action Plans (CAP) that identify and address barriers in the community, in order to increase demand for MNCH services
Community Days: semi-annual Community Days that bring different communities together for a day of communication, information, and activities to improve awareness among key target populations of important MNCH services.
LANDSCAPE OF MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH IN UGANDA.pptxThomas Owondo
Uganda’s population was estimated at 42 million in 2020 and is expected to increase by 5.5 million to reach 48 million by 2025 due to annual population growth rate of 3.4%, among the highest in the world.
Twenty percent of the population live in poverty, and the absolute number remains high at 8.3 million. One in five persons living in poverty (<USD$1/day). Overall, the incidence of rural poverty is more than double that of urban poverty.
The average household size in Uganda is estimated at five persons, and three in every 10 households (31%) are headed by females. Of the 8.3 million households in the country, 72% are in rural areas.
Almost half (49%) of the population is under age 15, and 70% are less than 25. This predominantly young population and rising life expectancy (male: 62.8 years, female 64.5 years) creates an increasing cohort of mothers, newborns, adolescents, adults, and older people needing more Reproductive maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) services.
HEALTH COMMUNICATION CME PRESENTATION BY OWONDO THOMAS.pptxThomas Owondo
Health communication is the art and technique of informing, influencing and motivating individuals or larger audiences about important health issues based on scientific and ethical considerations.
It includes the study and use of communication strategies to inform and influence individual and community decisions that enhance health.
Health communication is recognised as a necessary part of efforts to improve personal and public health. In other words, health communication encompasses the study and use of communication strategies to inform and influence individual and community knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) with regard to health and healthcare.
Health communication can contribute to all aspects of disease prevention and health promotion.

It is a collaborative process that involves both the therapist and the client in co-constructing solutions to concerns
(theory and practice of counselling and psychotherapy- Gerald Corey)
As a counsellor, you need to remain open to your growth and to address your personal problems if your clients are to believe in you and the therapeutic process .
Your personal characteristics are of primary importance in becoming a counselor, but it is not sufficient to be merely a good person with good intentions. To be effective you must have supervised experience in counseling and sound knowledge of counseling theory and techniques
Culture is the lifeblood of a vibrant society, expressed in the many ways we tell our stories, celebrate, remember the past, entertain ourselves, and imagine the future. Our creative expression helps define who we are, and helps us see the world through the eyes of others.
culture provides important social and economic benefits. With improved learning and health, increased tolerance, and opportunities to come together with others, culture enhances our quality of life and increases overall well-being for both individuals and communities.
Participating in culture can benefit individuals in many different ways, some of which are deeply personal. They are a source of delight and wonder, and can provide emotionally and intellectually moving experiences, whether pleasurable or unsettling, that encourage celebration or contemplation. Culture is also a means of expressing creativity, forging an individual identity, and enhancing or preserving a community’s sense of place.
Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine (style of cooking), social habits, music and arts.
Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things.
Humans are a social organism, we have evolved to be social. Working together for a collective action is hardwired into us. We want to help, share, and give to each other and receive in kind.
Many things that we want , and need, cannot be created simply by our own efforts, so require some form of collaboration or reciprocity. The benefits we derive from that sociability we could call social capital. Social capital arises from the human capacity to consider others to think and act generously and cooperatively.
The concept of social capital relates to important questions of human behaviour and motivation such as why people give or help others even when there is no foreseeable benefit for themselves.
The central preposition of social capital is that relationships matter and that social networks are a valuable asset.
Stress isn’t always bad.
In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.
If you frequently find yourself feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, it’s time to take action to bring your nervous system back into balance.
You can protect yourself and improve how you think and feel by learning how to recognize the signs and symptoms of chronic stress and taking steps to reduce its harmful effects.
Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat.
Eustress – Kind of stress that results from something good and we react positive.
Distress – Kind of stress that results from something bad and we react negative.
Stressors are things that cause stress. Almost everything is a stressor depending on the individual.
Have you ever wondered why individuals and societies are so varied?
Do you ask what social forces have shaped different existences?
The quest to understand society is urgent and important, for if we cannot understand the social world, we are more likely to be overwhelmed by it. We also need to understand social processes if we want to influence them.
Sociology can help us to understand ourselves better, since it examines how the social world influences the way we think, feel, and act.
It can also help with decision-making, both our own and that of larger organizations.
Sociologists can gather systematic information from which to make a decision, provide insights into what is going on in a situation, and present alternatives.
The family acts as a primary socialization of children whereby the child first learns the basic values and norms of the culture they will grow up in.
A child needs to be carefully nurtured, cherished and molded into responsible individuals with good values and strong ethics. Therefore, it is important to provide them the best childcare so that they grow up to be physically, mentally and emotionally strong individuals.
Family is a group of persons united by the ties of marriage, blood or adoption; constituting a single household, interacting and inter-communicating with each other in their respective social roles of husband and wife, mother and father, son and daughter, brother and sister creating a common culture.
Family is an intimate domestic group made up of people related to one another by bonds of blood, sexual mating, or legal ties.
A group of people related by either blood, marriage, or adoption.
People with or without legal or blood ties who feel they belong together.
What's your opinion on the school not providing good internet service?
Which political party does a better job of running the country?
Should morning prayers be compulsory at school?
Chances are that you probably have fairly strong opinions on these and similar questions. You've developed attitudes about such issues, and these attitudes influence your beliefs as well as your behavior.
In psychology, an attitude refers to a set of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors toward a particular object, person, thing, or event.
Psychologists define attitudes as a learned tendency to evaluate things in a certain way. This can include evaluations of people, issues, objects, or events.
Such evaluations are often positive or negative, but they can also be uncertain at times. For example, you might have mixed feelings about a particular person or issue.
When we are feeling something, we don't really stop to define that emotion or think about the exact emotion that we are experiencing.
We just feel and go through it; may it be sadness, anger or happiness.
As human beings, we experience a plethora of feelings and emotions in our lifetime that range over several forms and types.
The word 'emotion' encompasses a broad range of feelings, behavior and changes in the body and mind.
In psychology, emotion is often defined as a complex state of feeling that results in physical and psychological changes that influence thought and behavior.
Emotionality is associated with a range of psychological phenomena, including temperament, personality, mood, and motivation.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

is able to make a contribution to his or her community’
(WHO 2001).
8. Perspectives of a mentally health
individual.
Mentally healthy individuals can be described from
3 perspectives:
They are reasonably happy with themselves.
They are happy with others.
They know how to face the day today demands of life.
9. 1. They are reasonably happy with themselves
e.g.
They possess a positive self concept.
They look at the past with contentment and toward the
future with confidence.
They show consistent desire to improve themselves
They respect themselves and have a high self
esteem.
They understand their own abilities and limitations.
10. 2. They are happy with others e.g.
