HUMAN BEHAVIOR

INTRODUCTION
Human behavior is the potential expressed capacity (mentally,
physically and socially) of human individuals or groups for
responding internal and external stimuli throughout their life.
Life processes are vital for an organism to live and shapes its
capacities for interacting with its environment.
DEFINITION OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR:
The term behavior means how someone acts.
Human behavior is the behaviors exhibited by humans and
influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics,
authority or genetics.
DEFINITION OF HEALTH BEHAVIOR
Health behavior are the actions that can directly affect
health outcome.
CLASSIFICATION OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR:
 CONSCIOUS
 UNCONSCIOUS
 OVERT
 COVERT
 RATIONAL
 IRRATIONAL
 VOLUNTARY
 INVOLUNTARY
 SIMPLE
 COMPLEX
CLASSIFICATION OF HEALTH BEHAVIOR:
 HEALTH DIRECTED BEHAVIOUR
I. PREVENTIVE HEALTH BEHAVIOUR
II. ILLNESS BEHAVIOUR

 HEALTH RELATED
BEHAVIOR
CLASSIFICATION OF COMMUNICATION
BEHAVIOUR:
 SUBMISSIVE: unable to say no to unwantable
requests, wanting appear polite, wanting to avoid a
scene.
 AVOIDANCE: avoid uncomfortable situations by
refusing to recognize the problem.
 ASSERTIVE: standing for their own rights and
belief by not isolating other’ s space.
 AGGRESSIVE: range of actions and behavior that
can result in mental, emotional or physical harm to him
or others may be verbally or non verbally.
AGGRESSION BEHAVIOR PREDISPOSING
FACTORS:

GENETIC FACTORS:
 TWIN STUDIES: more common in monozygotic twins.
 PEDIGREE STUDIES: common in children of parents
having serious mental disorder.
 CHROMOSOMAL INFLUENCES: Jacob syndrome.
NEUROTRANSMITTERS: high dopamine level
triggered aggressive behavior.
NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL DISORDER: common in
patient with epilepsy, brain tumor.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTOR:
 LEARNED BEHAVIOUR: aggressive behavior
commonly learned from parents.
SOCIAL FACTORS:
 FRUSTRATION
 DIRECT PROVOCATION
 TELEVISION VIOLENCE
 COMPUTER GAMES
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:
 AIR POLLUTION
 NOISE
 OVERCROWDING

NURSING ASSESSMENT:
Establish therapeutic alliance
Assess client’s potential for violence
Notify co worker
Assess the environment and make necessary changes.
Aggression assessment tool.
NURSING INTERVENTIONS FOR
MANAGING AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR:
BEHAVIORAL STRATGIES
• LIMIT SETTING
• BEHAVIORAL CONTRACTS
• TOKEN ECONOMY
• CRISIS MANAGEMENT
• SECLUSION
• RESTRAINTS
• DEBRIEFING
ENVIRONMENTAL STRATGIES
• UNIT NORMS AND REWARD
• CATHARTIC ACTIVITIES i.e Physically and
emotionally.
COMMUNICATION STRATGIES.
ASSERTIVE TRAINING.

times a day or 5mg three times/day
MOOD STABALIZERS: CARBAMAZEPINE(Initialy
100mg per day orally and increased by 50mg every 2-4
days until side effects occurred) AND VALPROATE (10
To 15mg) to treat bipolar associated aggressive behavior.
ANTIDEPRESSANTS: TRAZODONE(150mg orally
per day) in aggression associated with organic mental
disorder.
ANTI HYPERTENSIVE: PRAPRANOL(40mg orally
three times a day) to treat aggression related to organic
brain syndrome.

LIFE PROCESS
The maintenance functions which are happening inside the
body of all the living organisms to maintain the living beings.
1. NUTRITION: Nutrition is the biochemical and
physiological process by which an organism uses food to
support its life. It provides organisms with nutrients,
which can be metabolized to create energy and chemical
structures. Failure to obtain sufficient nutrients
causes malnutrition. Nutritional science is the study of
nutrition, though it typically emphasizes human nutrition.
2. DIGESTION: Digestion is defined as the process
of breaking down large, insoluble molecules of food into
smaller, water-soluble molecules which can then be
readily absorbed by the body.
3. RESPIRATION: Respiration is defined as a
metabolic process where in, the living cells of an
organism obtains energy (in the form of ATP) by taking
in oxygen and liberating carbon dioxide from the
oxidation of complex organic substances.
4. EXCREATION: Expulsion of harmful substances is
called excretion.
• Lungs expel carbon dioxide
• Skin expel waste through split
• Rectum expel waste through faeces.
• Kidney filters hormonal substances from blood and
expel them from urine.
5. GROWTH AND REPAIR: Cells divide for many
reasons. For example, when you skin your knee, cells
divide to replace old, dead, or damaged cells. Cells also
divide so living things can grow. When organisms grow,
it isn't because cells are getting larger. Organisms grow
because cells are dividing to produce more and more
cells. In human bodies, nearly two trillion cells divide
every day.
Mitosis is how somatic—or non-reproductive cells—
divide. Somatic cells make up most of your body's
tissues and organs, including skin, muscles, lungs, gut,
and hair cells. Reproductive cells (like eggs) are not
somatic cells.
In mitosis, the important thing to remember is that the
daughter cells each have the same chromosomes
and DNA as the parent cell. The daughter cells from
mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two
complete sets of chromosomes. Since the daughter cells
have exact copies of their parent cell's DNA, no genetic
diversity is created through mitosis in normal healthy
cells.
Meiosis is the other main way cells divide. Meiosis is cell
division that creates sex cells, like female egg cells or
male sperm cells. What is important to remember about
meiosis? In meiosis, each new cell contains a unique set
of genetic information. After meiosis, the sperm and egg
cells can join to create a new organism.
Meiosis is why we have genetic diversity in all sexually
reproducing organisms. During meiosis, a small portion
of each chromosome breaks off and reattaches to another
chromosome. This process is called "crossing over" or
"genetic recombination." Genetic recombination is the
reason full siblings made from egg and sperm cells from
the same two parents can look very different from one
another.
6. REPRODUCTION: A biological process by which an
organism reproduces an offspring that is biologically
similar to the organism.
• Enables and ensures the continuity of species, generation
after generation.

CONCLUSION: A human being’s body undergoes


several changes and development throughout their life
span and food acts as fuel needed for all these
changes.Human behavior is complex and sometimes
unpredictable.The unpredictability of human behavior
tries to shows that people are unique and operate on
different ideas and background but behavior can be
manipulated by proper reinforcement.
