epidemiology
the study of health and disease in society
wellness-illness continuum
a dichotomized portrayal of health and illness ranging from high-level wellness at the
positive end to depletion of health at the negative end.
High-level wellness
conceptualized as a sense of well-being, life satisfaction, and quality of life.
Low-level wellness

ecological model of health

social determnants of health
those factors in society that have an influence on health and the options available to
people to improve or maintain their health.
person-centered care
teaching individuals about individual responsibilities and lifestyle choices
functional health or health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
multiple factors contributing to a person's perception of his or her health
role performance model of health
defines health in terms of individuals' ability to perform social roles
adaptive model of health
people's ability to adjust positively to social, mental, and physiological change is the
measure of their health
clinical model of health
absence of signs and symptoms of disease indicates health

The transtheoretical model
. Secondary prevention
providing screening activities and treating early stages of disease to limiting disability by
averting or delaying the consequences of advanced disease.
Tertiary prevention
- when a defect or disability is permanent and irreversible.
- involves minimizing the effects of disease and disability
community-based care
health care for people who need it at home
evidence- based practice
the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making
