1. introduction Every child deserves the support and best possible start in life. (DFE, 2017) The practice setting is a private and funded nursery based in Luton. My setting is a nursery for children 0-5 years.
Each aspect of my lesson plan incorporates a relevant educational research based strategy for health education. I use three primary strategies within my lesson plan: graphic organizers, jigsaw cooperative groups, and project based multimedia learning. Each strategy is used in different sections of the lesson plan to build up to, and support the next. The research based strategy that I used for presentation procedures for new information was graphic organizers.
Lifestyle Choices Relevant To Health, How Health Status Is Perceived and Provision of Health Care Services Human behaviour often plays an important role to maintain health and prevention of disease. With an eye to lower the considerable mortality and morbidity linked with health related issue, health professionals have twisted to models of behaviour for guiding the
I strongly value my health and believe that health is our greatest form of wealth. When one lives a healthy lifestyle, it means more opportunities to explore the world, build families, achieving anything the heart desires and conquering personal goals. The behavior change philosophy fits my personal philosophy of health education the most because it involves goal setting, behavioral contracts and self-monitoring to help foster the modification of an unhealthy habit. The behavior change philosophy is very important because change is a process, not an event. Self-efficacy and motivation are key factors in successful behavior changes.
In Canada, earlier approach to health was focused on medicine being able to solve health problems (Reutter, L. & Kushner, K.E., 2014, p.3). Today, Reutter, L. & Kushner, K.E. discussed that health is perceived through a combination of approaches: medical, behavioural, and socioenvironmental (p.3). The medical approach refers to early view of health, in which health improvement and maintenance is dependent on the availability of health services (p.3). The behavioral approach to health came into view in1974, in which the Lalonde Report emphasized on the impact of lifestyle to one’s health (p.3). In the 1980s, the socioenvironmental approach to health came into perspective after research were conducted showing results that healthy behavior were
The school health nurse plays a critical role in providing comprehensive health services and screenings to students. He/she provides preventive services, early identification of problems, intervention and referrals to foster health, and educational success to the students (American Pediatrics Academy, 2008). According to Harkness and DeMarco (2016), k-12 health education curriculum should include “personal health, family health, community health, consumer health, environmental health, sexuality education, mental and emotional health, injury prevention and safety, nutrition, prevention and control of disease, substance use and abuse” (p. 471).
There are also reports and petitions wanting PSHE to become statutory (PSHE Association, 2016) (PSHE Association, 2015). Health education as a new included statutory subject within the national curriculum could mean that the most important themes within PSHE and citizenship regarding health could be taught within Health Education. Health Education can benefit pupil’s general education, by applying knowledge to enable pupils to make their own decisions regarding their own health as well as adapting their health behavior.
Health, as best as we can understand it, has long been a topic of discussion. The health of human beings has always been and will continue to be something foremost on our minds. It is human nature to want to live a life free of illness and disease. In the United States alone over four trillion dollars is spent annually to combat sickness and disease (Munro). There are many different in which we can attempt to make us more healthy.
Education, empowerment, social change, support, advocacy and medical are government strategies set out for health promotion and there are health promotion models that are linked to these strategies: Becker model (1974), Caplan and Holland (1990), Beattie (1991), Tannahill and Downie (1996), Tone and Tilford (1994). Becker Model (1994) Is one of the wellbeing advancement models called wellbeing conviction model communicated that whether she/his ' conduct as capacity of the individual 's appraisal of benefits and danger of that activity, his/she conviction about danger reality to strength of not making a move and how far she/his acknowledges the action will alter or settle the risk. Caplan and Holland model (1990) this model is hypothetically decided and is more unpredictable. It tries to investigate what achieves incredible wellbeing and debilitated wellbeing and the activities to be utilized to address wellbeing issues.
I agree the objective has to be clear on both ends for the best outcome. I like how you mention the person teaching needs to know and understand the background of the patient's needs rather than just going through the motions. Nurses are educator's every day, quite often work on autopilot and are multitasking sometimes not having enough time to sit with our patients. It is the nurse's responsibility in my opinion to make sure the patient and family understand what to expect of their care plan regarding their health. When patients needs and capabilities are considered we can use the appropriate method for the patient to comprehend the information provided.
"The Nola Pender Health Promotion Model, 1996" is based on educating people on how to care for and lead a healthy life. This theory identifies in the individual cognitive-perceptual factors that are modified by the situational, personal and interpersonal characteristics, which results in the participation in behaviors conducive to health, when there is a pattern for action. She considers health as a high-level positive state, and takes it as a goal, towards which the person must strive to lead a healthy life. The objective of this model is to integrate both the nurse and the person regarding the behaviors that promote the human well-being, biological, psychological and sociocultural; It is visualized that the nursing professional should be
The aspect that interests me the most during this course is the health status and health care in other countries. I have personally not traveled outside of the United States; I find it interesting to learn about health care services and health status in other countries. Most people complain about how bad our health care is here in the United States, compared to some of the health care service in other countries, especially in low-income countries, the health care we have here is great.
