Health-illness theory

By: Imavike

HEALTH

“Is a complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (WHO, 1947)

“Is not a condition; it is an adjustment. It is not a state but a process. The process adapts the individual not only to our physical, but also our social environments” (President’s Commission, 1953)

Health

• Being free of symptoms of disease and pain as much as possible

• Being able to be active and able to do what they want or must

• Being in good spirits most in time

WELLNESS & WELL-BEING

• Wellness is a state of well-being

• Wellness is the integration of body, mind and spirit—the appreciation that everything you do and think, and feel, and believe has an impact on your state of health

• Well-being is a subjective perception of balance, harmony and vitality

Models of healthand wellness

Smith’s models of health

1. Clinical model2. Role performance model3. Adaptive model4. Eudaemonistic model

Smith’s Clinical Model

• The narrowest interpretation of health occurs in the clinical model

• The focus of many medical practices is the relief of signs and symptoms of disease and the elimination of malfunctioning and pain. When the signs and symptoms of disease are no longer present in a person, the medical practitioner often considers that the individual’s health is restored.

Smith’s Role Performance Model

• Health is defined in terms of the individual’s ability to fulfill societal roles, that is to perform work

• According to this model : people who can fulfill their roles are healthy even if they appear clinically ill.

Smith’s Adaptive Model

The focus of the adaptive model is adaptation

Health is a creative process and disease is a failure in adaptation or maladaptation.

Smith’s Eudaemonistic

• This model is incorporates the most comprehensive view of health.

• Health is seen as a condition of actualization or realization of a person’s potential.

Leavell and Clark’s Agent-Host-Environment Model

• The model is used primarily in predicting illness rather than in promoting wellness, although identification of risk factors that result from the interaction of the agent-host-environment are helpful in promoting and maintaining health.

Health-illness Continua

• Grids or graduated scales can be used to measure a person’s perceived level of wellness.

Dunn’s High-Level Wellness Grid

Travis’s Illness-Wellness Continuum
