TOPIC- MODEL OF PREVENTION

WELCOME ALL OF YOU


Introduction
A model is a theoretical way of understanding a concept or idea.

Models represent different ways of approaching complex issues.


CLINICAL MODEL
• The absence of signs and symptoms of disease indicates health.
• Illness would be the presence of conspicuous signs and
symptoms of disease.
• Clinical model is the conventional model of the discipline of
medicine.
ROLE PERFORMANCE MODEL
• Health is indicated by the ability to perform social roles.
• Role performance includes work, family and social roles, with
performance based on societal expectations.
• Illness would be the future to perform a person’s roles at the level
of others in society.
• This model is basis for work and school physical examination
and physician –excused absences.
• The sick role, in which people can be excused from performing
their social roles while they are ill, is a vital component of the
role performance model.
ADAPTIVE MODEL
• The ability to adapt positively to social, mental, and
physiological change is indicative of health.
• Illness occurs when the person fails to adapt or becomes
inadaptive toward these changes.
• As the concept of adaptation has entered other aspects of
culture , this model has become widely accepted.
LEVELS OF PREVENTION MODEL
• This model, advocated by Leavell and Clark in 1975, has influenced both public
health practice and ambulatory care delivery worldwide.
• This model suggests that the natural history of any disease exists on a
continuum, with health at one end and advanced disease at the other.
• The model delineates three levels of the application of preventive measures that
can be used to promote health and arrest the disease process at different points
along the continuum.
• The goal is to maintain a healthy state and to prevent disease or injury.
It has been defined in terms of four levels:
Primordial prevention
Primary prevention
Secondary prevention
Tertiary prevention
PRIMORDIAL PREVENTION
• Prevention of the emergence or development of risk factors in
population or countries in which they have not yet appeared.
• Efforts are directed towards discouraging children from
adopting harmful lifestyles.
PRIMARY PREVENTION
• An action taken prior to the onset of disease, which removes
the possibility that the disease will ever occur.
• It includes the concept of positive health, that encourages the
achievement and maintenance of an “acceptable level of health
that will enable every individual to lead a socially and
economically productive life.
SECONDARY PREVENTION
• Action which halts the progress of a disease at its incipient
stage and prevents complications.
• The domain of clinical medicine.
• An imperfect tool in the transmission of disease.
• More expensive and less effective than primary prevention.
Tertiary prevention
• All measures available to reduce or limit impairment and
disabilities, minimize suffering caused by existing departures
from good health and to promote the patient's adjustment to
irremediable conditions.
The Health Belief Model
• This model is based on the premise that for a behavioral change
to succeed, individuals must have the incentive to change, feel
threatened by their current behavior, and feel that a change will
be beneficial and be at acceptable cost.
• They must also feel competent to implement that change .
• The purpose of the model is to explain and predict preventive
health behavior.
Mental Health Promotion Model
• purpose of mental health promotion for people with mental illness is to
ensure that individuals with mental illness have power, choice, and control
over their lives and mental health, and that their communities have the
strength and capacity to support individual empowerment and recovery.
• The person with mental illness is the central focus: participating in her/his
community, involved in decision-making about mental health services, and
choosing which supports are most appropriate.
There are four key resources which should be available to the person to
support their mental health:
a) mental health services;
b) family and friends;
c) consumer groups and organizations; and
d) generic community services and groups.
SUMMARY
• Nursing must expand its efforts to design and implement interventions which
support promotion of health and prevention of disease/illness and disability.
• Preventing illness and staying well involve complex, multidimensional activities
focused not only on the individual, but also on families, groups and populations.
• Approaches to prevention should be comprehensive, encompass primary, secondary
and tertiary levels of prevention and involve consumers in their formulation.
• Prevention strategies are more likely to be adopted by citizens who participate in
influencing and developing such strategies.
• Nurses have developed many health models to understand the client’s attitudes and
values about health and illness so that effective health care can be provided.
• These nursing models allow nurses to understand and predict client’s health
behaviour, including how they use health services and adhere to recommended
therapy.
