Planning for health education & role of nurse
Health education has its origin during the ancient period when principles of disease prevention and health promotion were advocated and practiced.
Health education information at that time was communicated by face interaction.
Rather, principles of healthful living were integrated with culture and religious practices of a society.
Currently, health education is formal in its approach need to follow some guidelines.
It is institutionalized and is organized within the health care delivery system.
It began with the establishment of health centers in rural and urban areas
Emphasis was given on preventive, promotive and curative aspects of health.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Health education, information and communication
1. Health Education , Information &
Communication
Dr. Rajan Bikram Rayamajhi
Senior Resident
School of Community Medicine and Tropical Diseases
2. A state of complete physical, mental & social
wellbeing & not merely an absence of disease or
infirmity that enables an individual to lead socially &
economically productive life.
(WHO Definition of Health)
Health Education is concerned with establishing
changes in personal and group attitudes and behavior
that promote healthier living.
It is the foundation of a preventive health care system.
Correct info. is the basic part of health education.
3. Health education is a process by which individuals and
groups of people learn to behave in a manner conclusive to the
promotion, maintenance or restoration of health.
( John M. Last )
The dynamic definition of Health Education was given by
Alma Ata Declaration 1978.
“A process aimed at encouraging people to be healthy, to
know how to stay healthy, to do what they can do individually
and collectively to maintain health and seek help when
needed”.
4. Information:
Inform target groups about the cause of disease its
transmission and how to prevent the disease.
(Collection of known facts)
Education:
Educate the target groups about techniques of disease
prevention and mode of transmission.
(Formal training by specialists)
Communication:
A process that informs, motivates and helps people to adopt
and maintain healthy practices by using techniques to spread
the knowledge on the disease prevention and health
promotion.
(Two way process of exchanging or shaping ideas, feelings, and information)

8. Objectives of Health Education
o Informing people: The first directive of health
education is to inform people or disseminate
scientific knowledge about prevention of disease and
promotion of health.
o Motivating People: Simply informing people about
health is not enough. They must be motivated to
change their habits and ways of living, since many
present day problems of community health require
alteration of human behavior or changes in the health
practices which are detrimental to health.
9. • Guiding into action: Health education can
and should be conducted by a variety of
health, education and communication
personnel, in a variety of settings.
• People need to be encouraged to use
judiciously and wisely the health services
available.
10. IEC is a broad term comprising a range of
approaches, activities and outputs.
Although the most visible component of IEC is
frequently the material producer and user, such as
posters hanging on clinic walls,
Materials are only one component.
Effective IEC makes use of a full range of approaches
and activities.
The sole purpose of communication is to influence
others.
11.
12.
13. Approaches: Use of mass media to inform.
Activities: Include designing and providing training
in communication skills , carrying out research on
audiences (what information is needed in an effective way)
Objective:
To raise the health awareness of the people
To enable them to identify health issues, develop
positive attitude towards health care and increase
access to new information and technology of health
and health programs for the people
14.
15. o Goal:
To raise health awareness of issues, which influence
peoples agendas, help them clarify their values and to
acquire knowledge, skills by means of changing
attitudes, beliefs, values, behavior, or norms within
individual or groups of individuals.
The goals may be achieved at different levels.
o Cognitive level: in terms of increase in knowledge.
o Affective: In terms of changing existing patterns of
behavior and attitudes.
o Psychomotor: In terms of acquiring new skills.
o
17. o 1. Sender (source): Communicator
o 2. Receiver: (audience): Single person or group of people.
(Homogenous audience is better)
o 3. Message (content): Meaningful, based on felt needs, clear
and understandable, specific and adequate, interesting,
culturally and socially appropriate.
o 4. Channels(medium):
o Interpersonal communication
o Mass Media
o Traditional or folk media
o 5. Feedback (effect): Reaction of the audience to the message
18. Types of Communication
It can be vertical/horizontal and intra/inter communication.
oOne way communication:
Flow of communication in one way from the communicator to the
audience. e.g. lecture methods in class rooms.
oTwo way communication:
oIn which both the communicator and the audience take part.
Opinions, Views and Ideas are ventilated.
oVerbal communication:
Direct verbal communication by word of mouth. It may loaded
with hidden meanings.
oNon-verbal communication:
Communication can occur even without words. Body movements,
facial expressions, gestures, symbolic representation and silence .
19. o Formal and Informal Communication:
Formal follows lines of authority and Informal is like
grape vine. Informal includes Gossips, chatting.
Informal communication is more active and is present
in every institute.
o Visual communication:
Charts and graphs, pictograms, tables, maps, patterns.
o Telecommunication and Internet:
o Radio, TV and Internet are for mass communication.
Telephone, telex are point to point
telecommunication system. Point to point
communication is much closer to interpersonal
communication.
20. Barriers in Communication
o 1. Physiological- Difficulties in hearing or expression.
o 2. Psychological- Language, Emotional disturbances,
Neurosis and Comprehension difficulties.
o 3. Environmental- Noise, Invisibility and Congestion.
o 4. Cultural- Illiteracy, Level of Knowledge and
Understandings, Religion, Social class differences,
Language variations, Cultural differences between
foreigners and nationals.
22. The Role of IEC in HIV/AIDS
Prevention
o Postponement of first sexual encounter
o Decrease in multiple sex partner
o Increase in condom use
o Increase use of health services to treat STDs
o Increase use of clean syringes by injecting Drug
Users etc.
23. Applications of IEC in Health and
Disease
Role of HEIC in National Health Programs
Being a major components of health promotion,
HEIC provide basis about health related issues
to the individuals and the community and help
them exercise responsible and voluntary
choices.
24. Process of Behavoural Change
Behavioral Change Model
Unaware
Aware
Concerned
Knowledgeable and Skilled
Motivator to Change
Ready to Change
Trial Change of Behavior
Adoption of New Behavior
25. Operational Studies and Impact of HEIC Program
o The main sources of information about family planning
are radio, friends, and neighbors.
o 80% of married women discuss their family size with
their spouse which is the result of IEC.
o Increased ANC, delivery by trained health worker.
27. Adoption of New Ideas and Practices
o Awareness: The person has some very general
information about the idea and knows very little
about its usefulness, limitations, and applicability.
o Interest: At this stage person seeks more detailed
information.
o Evaluation: The person weighs the pros and cons of
the practice and evaluates its usefulness to oneself or
ones family.
o Trial: Practicing for the first time and needs
additional information help to overcome the problems
o Adoption: At this stage person decides that the new
practice is good and adopts it.
28. Health Education and Health Propaganda
o To educate means to cause or facilitate
learning so health education is more than mere
information or propaganda.
o Behavior centered
o Propaganda means to
systemized doctrine.
o Information centered
