personally valued family, work, and community roles; ability to deal with physical, biologic, psychological,

15. Health Education
Health education is defined as “any combination of learning experiences designed to facilitate
voluntary actions conducive to health”
Health education is a profession of educating people about health. Areas within this profession
encompass environmental health, physical health, social health, emotional health, intellectual health,
and spiritual health
Health education is one strategy of health promotion and is focused on helping individuals learn and
use health-enhancing skills.

16. A.Health Education Perspective
I. Historical development in health education
Although the history of health education dates back to the 19th century, it was not until the 1940s that
the field began evolving as a distinct discipline.
In the early 21st century, the terms health education and health promotion are often used
interchangeably in the United States, while internationally health promotion is used as an overarching
concept that includes health education.
Health education is considered a mature profession given that it has developed a discrete body of
knowledge, defined competencies, a certification system for individuals, a code of ethics, a federal
occupational classification, and recognized accreditation processes in higher education.

17. Additionally, the field draws from theories and models from education, health studies, communications,
and other diverse areas. The unique combination of these knowledge areas forms the basis for health
education competencies. Health educators employ a core set of competencies, regardless of the diverse
practice settings in which they work (i.e., schools, universities, health departments, community-based
organizations, health-care settings, worksites, and international organizations).

18. Components of Health (as per syllabus)
1. P H Y S I C A L H E A LT H
Physical health is defined by what has, can and will affect your physical body such as genetics, diet,
exercise, illness, disability, environment (including housing, work/school conditions and pollution), economic
status, physical accessibility to resources and medical supplies and any other factors that can damage or
improve your physical body.

19. 2. S O C I A L H E A LT H
Social health includes all forms of social interactions with two or more individuals including family,
friends, colleagues, team/class mates, strangers, media including social media, internet, television and
movies. Social health includes the potential of being influenced by other individuals or groups, either directly
or indirectly such as media.

20. 3 . C O G N I T I V E / M E N TA L H E A LT H
Cognitive health includes multiple factors which when combined, create an individuals intelligence. These
factors are necessary to develop and/or maintain independence. Important factors include the ability to
learn, memory, intuition, judgement, language, reason, concentration, planning and organisation.

21. 4. E M O T I O N A L H E A LT H
Emotional health is not simply feeling happy all or most of the time but experiencing a large variety
of emotions (positive and negative). Positive emotional health requires the appropriate emotion to be
experienced according to the event that has occurred i.e. sadness/grief with loss, fear at a time of danger.
Emotional health includes the ability to regulate and demonstrate feelings in a safe and healthy manner and
that will not result in harm to one self or others.

22. 5. SEXUAL HEALTH
Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not
merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful
approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe
sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and
maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled
Sexual health is the ability to embrace and enjoy our sexuality throughout our lives. It is an important part of
our physical and emotional health

23. 6. S P I R I T U A L H E A LT H
Spiritual health is the most abstract and difficult to define. It often includes the belief of unity with a greater
force, belief of a supreme being and/or a guiding sense of meaning and often includes higher values of
hope, purpose, faith and peace. Historically in western society, it is often thought of as organised religion
or prayer.
Spiritual health is a combination of social, emotional, cognitive and cultural health and has the strong
potential to positively and negatively affect emotional and physical health, as spirituality can be a strong
motivational factor for improving and/or maintaining all other forms of health.

24. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Environmental health is focused on the natural and built environments for the benefit of human health,
whereas environmental protection is concerned with protecting the natural environment for the benefit of
human health and the ecosystem.

25. Health Illness Continuum
A continuum is a grid or graduated scale. The health grid shows where a health axis and an environmental
axis intersect. The resulting quadrants represent degrees of health and wellness

26. As we previously stated, health, just as life itself, is a process of continual change. And we must continually
adapt to these changes in our lives in order to maintain good health and well-being. It is our adaptation or
response to that change, rather than the change itself, that affects our health.
Adaptation and effective functioning, even in the presence of chronic disease, can be considered a state of
wellness. A person may be in perfect physical condition, but feel too tired and “blue” to go to work, while his co-
worker, a diabetic, is at work, functioning fully and accomplishing his job. Which of these two people is at a higher
level on the health-illness continuum?

27. We can visualize the health continuum as a type of scale, where on one end
is optimal health and wellness, while on the other end of the spectrum is
extremely poor health. Where you fall on the scale right now and how you
can change your position, depends on several key factors in your life. The
first step to achieving optimal health is acknowledging those 5 areas of
complete health in your life and reflecting accordingly on each of the
questions that accompany it.
5 Areas of Complete Health
In order to effectively change and improve our health, we also
have to understand what health actually is. In order to do this,
we need to redefine it in light of our modern understanding of
what actually constitutes complete health.
1. The Physical
2. The Spiritual
3. The Intellectual
4. The Emotional
5. The Social

28. You are near the top end of the Health Continuum if:
1.You have a strong self esteem
2.You have an excellent ability to meet life’s demands
3.You do not compare yourself or compete with others
4.You have a healthy lifestyle (i.e. eat right, exercise, don’t smoke, etc.)
5.You have positive social relationships
6.You have a healthy balance between your mind, body, and spirit
7.You are not inflicted with any diseases
8.You do not experience common undesirable physical symptoms
9.You have an effective way of handling any debilitations or disabilities
Here are some key pointers to give you an idea to which end of the health continuum you
currently belong to and therefore what state your complete health is in:

29. You are near the bottom end of the Health Continuum if:
1.You often go through emotional breakdowns
2.You have a poor image of yourself
3.You constantly feel inadequate
4.You have an unhealthy lifestyle (i.e. poor eating habits, lack of exercise, smoking, etc.)
5.You live in isolation from others or feel isolated or alone, even when amongst others
6.You often feel depressed and/or have mental illness
7.You lack a healthy balance between your mind, body, and spirit
8.You suffer from various physical illnesses
9.You are unable to cope with a severe mental or physical disability

30. Total Health
Total health is arguably the single most
important concept for you to understand and
adopt if you wish to live a happy and deeply
fulfilling life.
Total health means slightly different things to
different people, but the core concepts are
ultimately the same.
Total Health is used to refer to the lifelong
interdependence, constant interactions, and
balance of the physical, emotional, social, and
intellectual dimensions of human growth and
development.

31. 10 Components Of Total Health
The components of total health are infinite really. They include all our
experiences as a total human being! And based on the uniqueness of the
human experience some of these component, or at the very least the
prioritisation of them, will vary from person to person. Nevertheless, broad
categories of total health can probably be mapped out. With that in mind the list
below is not exhaustive - I have merely listed the obvious ones, and a few
examples:
1. Physical Health
