  2. 2. IDENTITY (Diagnosis, Symptoms) CONSEQUENCES (The possible effects) TIMELINE (How long it will last?) CAUSE (What caused the illness?) CONTROL (How and whether it can be treated?)
  3. 3. When faced with the problem of illness, the individual will therefore develop coping strategies in an attempt to return to a state of healthy normality…

  8. 8. Cigarette smoking Tobacco use Alcohol consumption Abuse of illicit drugs Sexual behaviour
  9. 9. Health promoting behavior change is a key outcome of many health promotion programmes ; however behavior change is complex and involves many factors. An awareness of these factors is essential when planning, implementing and evaluating health promotion programmes. It is difficult to develop appropriate coping strategies unless the reasons why individuals and populations behave in certain ways are understood.
  10. 10. These are the factors that influence health either positively or negatively and may include:Heredity Environment Access to health care system Behavioral factors
  11. 11. Recognizes the strong influence of society on health and that some group of people, due to their positions and role in their societies do not have equitable access to resources that they need to ensure good health. Berkman and Kawachi (2007)- Most behaviors are not randomly distributed in the population. Rather they are socially patterned and often cluster with one another.
  12. 12. WHO identifies 10 key social determinants described by Wilkinson and Marmot (2003):-
  13. 13. Social Gradient / Class Stress Early Life Social Exclusion Work Unemployment Social Support Addiction Food Transport

  38. 38. • Screening : Origin : Medical sciences. • It is a strategy used in a population. • AIM : To identify an unrecognized disease in individuals without signs or symptoms. • To identify disease in a community early, thus enabling earlier intervention and management in the hope to reduce mortality and suffering from a disease.
  39. 39. • Universal screening involves screening of all individuals in a certain category (for example, all children of a certain age). • Case finding involves screening a smaller group of people based on the presence of risk factors (for example, because a family member has been diagnosed with a hereditary disease).
  40. 40. • Mass screening : Mass screening means, the screening of a whole population or a subgroup. It is offered to all, irrespective of the risk status of the individual. • High risk or selective screening : High risk screening is conducted among risk populations only. • Multiphasic screening : It is the application of two or more screening tests to a large population at one time instead of carrying out separate screening tests for single diseases.
  41. 41. • • • • • • • The condition should be an important health problem. There should be a treatment for the condition. Facilities for diagnosis and treatment should be available. There should be a latent stage of the disease. There should be a test or examination for the condition. The test should be acceptable to the population. The natural history of the disease should be adequately understood. • There should be an agreed policy on whom to treat. • The total cost of finding a case should be economically balanced in relation to medical expenditure as a whole. • Case-finding should be a continuous process, not just a "once and for all" project.
  42. 42. • Screening can involve cost and use of medical resources on a majority of people who do not need treatment. • Adverse effects of screening procedure (e.g. stress and anxiety, discomfort, radiation exposure, chemical exposure). • Stress and anxiety caused by a false positive screening result. • Unnecessary investigation and treatment of false positive results. • Stress and anxiety caused by prolonging knowledge of an illness without any improvement in outcome. • A false sense of security caused by false negatives, which may delay final diagnosis.
  43. 43. • Screening targets the nature of health psychology. - It helps in the PREVENTION of illness. - It helps in the PREVENTION of dysfunction in currently healthy person. - It helps in the maintenance of good health. - It helps in the treatment of the illness.
