Week 3: Chapter 8: Health, Wellness and Illness (pp. 137-151) 1. I can describe various conceptions of health and wellness and how they may be related. - There is a close relationship between being healthy and being well, and either or both of those concepts are equated to well-being Wellness is a subjective measure that is more challenging to assess (relying on patient truthfulness) While, health is an objective measure so it can be measured through external assessments and measures Getting assessment data could be objective or subjective, and is different from making a decision (because making a decision involves judgement) 2. I can describe 8 different ‘domains of wellness’ and explain how they may be related. - Emotional Intellectual Occupational Physical Sexual Financial Spiritual Environmental Social 3. I can explain the implications of the WHO definition of health. - “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” The WHO definition of health doesn't mention health, it mentions wellness which is an subjective measure 4. I can describe how diverse experiences of health and/or wellness may be influenced by social positioning. - Social positioning is like your social standing and you can have better or worse social standing like poverty and food. - Health is the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease, or infirmity - Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence - Health is being healthy while wellness is the correct mindset of being healthy Week 3: Chapter 8: Health, Wellness and Illness (pp. 137-151) I can describe various conceptions of health and wellness and how they may be related.
