The document discusses health, wellness, and the healthcare system. It defines health and wellness, noting they require balance across various areas of life. While healthcare aims to promote wellness, it is very costly and challenged to provide quality care. Self-care is presented as a more sustainable strategy for maintaining health than relying on the overwhelmed healthcare system. Relying solely on healthcare is too expensive and individuals must take responsibility for their own wellness through lifestyle choices.

It discusses the health-illness continuum and how illness can impact individuals and families. Key factors influencing health and illness behaviors are explored. The document outlines criteria for an ideal community-based health care system and integrated delivery models. It also discusses the role of community-based nursing.
This document discusses the health-illness continuum, which illustrates that an individual's health state is continually changing as they move between health and illness. It defines key terms like health, illness, and wellness. The health-illness continuum is a graphic representation showing that treatment can alleviate symptoms and move a person to a neutral point, while wellness aims to maximize their health and available energy. Determinants of health include physical, social, economic, and environmental factors. The nurse's role involves determining a client's position on the continuum and recognizing risk factors in order to prevent illness through awareness and education.
This document discusses the dimensions of health, including physical, mental, social, spiritual, emotional, and vocational dimensions. It provides definitions of health from the WHO and Webster. It outlines different concepts of health such as the biomedical, ecological, psychosocial, and holistic concepts. It describes each of the dimensions of health in detail, including characteristics, evaluation, and how they relate and impact each other. For example, it discusses how physical illness can lead to mental illness and vice versa. The document also mentions other dimensions such as cultural, socio-economic, environmental, educational, and nutritional dimensions.
This document summarizes the connection between wealth and health, discussing how wealth can positively impact health but also how maintaining good financial and physical habits can mutually benefit both wealth and health. It notes that while wealthier individuals tend to be healthier, simply giving people more money may not improve health on its own.

The document also discusses how term life insurance works, noting that costs rise significantly with age, creating uncertainty about when policies will terminate.
This document discusses stress, its causes, effects, and management. It defines stress as a feeling of emotional or physical tension that can be caused by any demanding event or thought. Sources of stress discussed include work, family, health, and financial issues. Both positive (eustress) and negative (distress) stress are covered. Effects of prolonged stress include physical, mental, and emotional issues. The document provides techniques for identifying stressors, defending against stress through planning and time management, and relaxing through activities like nature, exercise, and meditation. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining mental and physical health to manage stress.
Travis developed an illness-wellness continuum model that ranges from premature death to high-level wellness. The model illustrates two arrows pointing in opposite directions, with movement to the right indicating increasing health and well-being achieved through awareness, education, and growth. Movement to the left indicates decreasing health. The traditional treatment model can only move an individual to the neutral point by alleviating symptoms, while wellness-oriented measures are needed to progress beyond to higher wellness. The wellness and treatment models can work together across the continuum.
The Health Belief Model originated from social psychologists in the 1950s seeking to explain low participation in prevention programs. It is based on value-expectancy theory and the concepts that individuals will take health actions if they feel susceptible to an issue, believe it is severe, and believe the actions will reduce susceptibility at low cost. The model includes perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy as factors influencing the likelihood of health-related behavior change. Individual perceptions are modified by demographic, personality, socioeconomic, and knowledge factors.
Lesson four - Concepts of health and illnessaqsa_naeem
The document discusses different sociological perspectives on health and illness, including:
1. The functionalist perspective views illness as disrupting social functions and roles, such as Talcott Parsons' concept of the "sick role" which excuses the ill from normal duties.
2. Marxists believe the health system prioritizes getting patients back to work quickly to benefit the wealthy, rather than patient needs. Illness also disproportionately affects the poor.
3. Interactionists examine how social relationships influence whether people view themselves as ill or seek help.
4. Feminists argue that the male-dominated medical field impacts women, such as viewing pregnancy as an illness, and that women
1) The document discusses concepts of self-health including definitions of health from various perspectives such as WHO, balance of bodily humors, and well-being.

3) The document presents the illness-wellness continuum model showing how lifestyle choices can impact where one falls along the spectrum from high wellness to premature death.
The document discusses the debate around purchasing health insurance versus paying the penalty under the Affordable Care Act. It notes that many health problems are self-inflicted due to unhealthy lifestyles like poor diets, obesity, and lack of exercise. However, the author argues they live a very healthy lifestyle and do not need health insurance given they eat organic whole foods, exercise daily, and do not smoke or drink. Therefore, paying the penalty is a better personal choice than purchasing an insurance plan they believe provides little value or benefit.
This document describes holistic health treatments offered at a natural healing center. It summarizes various therapies including magnetic therapy, acupressure, ozone baths, infrared saunas, foot detox, biofeedback, and quantum resonance analysis.

This document discusses different types of health, including physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and financial health. It explains that overall health is influenced by genetic, environmental, social, and behavioral factors. Maintaining wellness involves eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, getting preventive health screenings, managing stress, social connection, and having a positive outlook. The best way to preserve health is through an ongoing healthy lifestyle rather than only addressing health issues once sickness occurs.
This document discusses concepts of health, illness, and disease. It defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being according to the WHO. Health is a multidimensional concept that includes physical, emotional, intellectual, environmental, occupational, social, and spiritual dimensions. Illness refers to a person's subjective response to disease, which is an objective pathologic change. The document also explains Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which proposes that people are motivated to meet basic physiological needs before pursuing safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs.
4. illness behavior and perceptions of illnessM.Vijaya Rani
This document discusses illness behavior and perceptions of illness. It covers several key topics:
1) How people determine when they are ill based on their ability to function and the presence of symptoms. Cultural factors can also influence symptom perception.
2) Common illness behaviors people engage in when sick like self-medication, and factors that influence help-seeking behaviors.
3) The "sick role" concept where sick individuals have both rights and obligations in society, such as being exempt from responsibilities but also expected to want to get better.
4) How illness representations, or people's beliefs and understanding about an illness, can impact their response and behaviors. Recognition of symptoms alone may not be enough to consider oneself ill

Prevention focuses on diet, exercise, weight management, and quitting smoking. Rehabilitation uses therapies like heat/cold, exercise, and cognitive behavioral therapy. For cancer,
The Difference Between Health and Wellness
The concept of wellness is relatively new and is a mystery to some people. It is often confused with health even though the two terms are not synonymous. Yet most of us want to be well and healthy. But what exactly is the difference between health and wellness?
Chapter 1: Understanding Health and Wellnesshjohnson1
This document provides an overview of health and wellness. It defines health as a combination of physical, mental/emotional, and social well-being. Wellness is described as an overall state of balance among these three components. Key aspects of each component are outlined, including maintaining physical health through nutrition, sleep, activity and hygiene; cultivating mental/emotional health by developing a sense of purpose and coping skills; and nurturing social health through relationships. Health and wellness exist on a continuum, and lifestyle factors like abstaining from risky behaviors and prevention methods can influence a person's position on this spectrum.
This document discusses aging and happiness. It notes that most studies show a U-shaped curve for age and happiness, with happiness lower in midlife and higher in older age. However, aging does not have to result in declining happiness. Factors like maintaining social connections, having a sense of purpose, and focusing less on comparisons can help people experience increasing life satisfaction as they age. The document provides recommendations for cultivating happiness, including pursuing engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment.
This document discusses merging or augmenting course sites on Blackboard.

2. Key Points
Define health and wellness.
Recognize that you can not rely on our health
care system to keep you healthy.
Understand that self-care is a
sustainable strategy for maintaining
your health and well-being
4. Since the days of Florence Nightingale, one of
the goals of nursing practice has been optimal
health and wellness.
The concept of wellness is used throughout the
Nursing Diagnosis yet the concept has not been
well defined.
There needs to be a clear agreed upon definition
of wellness to move forward with the
development of wellness in the nursing
profession and for you personally.
5. Health and Wellness Defined
World Health Organization stated health is “…a
state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity” (World Health Organization).
The American Heritage Stedman’s Medical
Dictionary defines wellness as “The condition of
good physical and mental health especially
when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and
habits”(Dictionary, 2011, p. 1).
6. Nursing Definition of Wellness According
to Dr. J. Grace Eves…
Wellness starts with being aware of your health
status and then working towards maintaining or
improving your health and well-being.
7. Your Health Status
Your body health is dependent on how you live
your life.
Each area of your life is dependent on each
other.
The areas include: spiritual health,
relationships health,
environmental health, mental health,
financial health, and body health.
All these areas are held together with
love and gratitude.

9. Section 3
Body health sits as the top stone. If other areas
such as your spiritual health, relationships
health, environmental health, mental health, and
financial health are not in balance your body
health seems to be the first area that will identify
those imbalances.
Listen to your body-it will tell you when things
are not in balance.
Because of the brevity of this course Section 3
of this program will exam physical activity and
nutrition (body health) which sits at the top of the
wellness model.

health status-is the ability to refine yourself in
terms of autonomy and resilience.
The successful wellness process establishes a
thriving lifestyle and is the consequence of
getting to the root cause.
12. Recognize…
You can not rely on our health care
system to keep you healthy.
13. Fact: Our Health Care is Expensive
Health care expenditures in the U.S. have now
surpassed $2.3 trillion in 2008, more than three times the
$714 billion spent in 1990 and over eight times the $253
billion spent in 1980.
This ,means that in 2008 the U.S. health care spending
was about $7,681 for every American man, women, and
child-or more than 30,000 for a family of four.
The cost of health care has increased to 274 times what
it was in 1950 even though the average cost of all other
goods and services increased only eight times.

15. The Cost of Care in the U.S.
The average prescription costs, on an average $70
A hospital room is about $1,700 per day
A routine adult admission to an ER is $1,100
A hospital birth is $8,000
A cardiac stress test is $1,900
A heart attack will cost $45,000
Cancer treatment will cost $375,000
Andrew Weils, Why Our Health Matters
16. The cost of American health care is rising so
rapidly that it is predicted to reach $4.2 trillion, or
20% of our GDP, by 2016.
If predictions hold, a family of four in the next
seven to nine years will spend around $64,000
annually on health care
Andrew Weils, Why Our Health Matters
17. Fact: Health Care System Today is Finding
it Challenging to Provide Care…
91% of hospitals report overcrowding….40% of them
daily
Over the past 5 years, 70% of hospitals have found
themselves in a situation where ambulance drivers had
to be diverted to other hospitals because of this
overcrowding.
John Hammergren, Skin in the Game
18. Consider this:
The average primary care physician has 2,500
to 4,000 patients
Works 5-7 days a week
Takes ER calls 24/7
Often sees patients in hospitals from 9 am-5 pm
on weekends
Taking even a few minutes extra
with each patient in the clinic
can put a doctor
out of business
19. Shortage of Health Care Professionals
By 2020, it is estimated that we will have shortage
of:
85,000 to 96,000 primary care physicians
One Million Nurses
36,000 geriatricians Shortage
157,000 pharmacists
Andrew Weils, Why Our Health Matters
20. Fact: Health Care System
Trustworthiness…
140,000,000 illegible prescriptions are written every
year!!
John Hammergren, Skin in the Game
21. 25 to 30% of our $2.6 trillion dollar health
care bill goes to:
Wasted care in the form of preventive errors
Incorrect diagnosis
Redundant treatment
Unnecessary infections
Extra time spent in the hospital
Another 20% goes to paperwork
Our health care is on the brink of
collapse
22. Understand…
There are strategies that will manage
these costs
23. Do Nothing Sinks the Ship
Individuals can’t afford to take the “wait and see
approach”
Health care professionals
need to motivate individuals and themselves
to engage in
health and wellness
25. Fact: A significant portion of health care
costs are avoidable or potentially
modifiable
26. Fact: Health Risks Drive Costs
Analysis show us that somewhere between 21%
and 58% of medical claims are associated with
about dozen risk factors-things like poor
nutrition, lack of exercise, and high stress
David Anderson, Staywell WELCOA Interview
27. As Health Risks Increase,
Costs Increase
The Quandary of chronic care…
“If you have a chronic condition, you struggle
with lack of connection on a daily basis. Beyond
your primary care physician, you probably have
up to 15 different professionals to deal with
regularly, including specialists, technicians, NP,
pharmacists, and possibly social worker.”
John Hammergren, Skin in the Game
29. Self-Care: Orem states self care is the -
practice of activities that individual initiates and perform on
their own behalf in maintaining life, health, and well being.
As you work through the next model and apply the
information you learn, you will be able to implement
in your life as well as encourage others to use
self-care as a stainable strategy
30. Summary
Wellness starts with being aware of your health
status and then working towards maintaining or
improving your health and well-being.
You can not rely on our health care system to
keep you healthy-it is too costly and is
challenged to provide quality of care.
Self-care as a stainable strategy.
