2. Pg. 212-214 Define each Health Model. Understand their similarities and differences of each?
Understand the importance of each, what each model is FOCUSING on or what its PURPOSE is? Identify
any components, constructs, concepts, and/or variables that are described with each model. Also, list
examples for each (listed in the reading).
o Basic Human Needs Model – Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
Prioritize care
I. Physiological needs
Breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, and excretions
II. Safety and security
Security of body, employment, resources, morality, family, health
, III. Love and belonging
Friendship, family, sexual intimacy
IV. Esteem
Confidence and respect
V. Self-actualization
Morality, creativity, and problem solving
o Health Belief Model (check of Table 16.1) – explores how patient’s attitudes and beliefs
predict health behavior. Used to measure for determining the patient’s readiness and
motivation to act.
I. The 3 main focuses
1. Individual perception of susceptibility to illness
2. The individual’s perception about the seriousness of the illness
3. The probability that the individual will act to prevent avoidable health risks
II. 6 main constructs that influences a person decision to take action:
1. They are susceptible to the condition
2. The condition has serious consequences
3. Taking action would reduce the susceptibility or severity of the condition
4. The costs of taking action are outweighed by the benefits
5. They are exposed to factors that prompt action, such as media campaign,
postcard reminders, and advice from others
6. They have confidence in their ability to perform from others
o Health Promotion Model – defines as a positive, dynamic state of well-being rather than the
absence of disease in the physiological state. To prevent disease.
I. the 3 focuses of HPM
1. Individual characteristics and experiences
2. Behavior specific knowledge and affect
3. Behavior outcomes
II. Health promotion and health protection define this model
Health promotion – behavior motivated by the desires to increase well-being
and optimize health status
Health protection – intentional behaviors aimed at circumventing illness,
detecting it early, and maintaining the best possible level of mental an
physiologic function within the boundaries of illness
III. It promoted desired health outcomes as determined by an individual’s motivation to
achieve a better quality of life
o Holistic Health Model – based on the philosophy that a synergistic relationship exists b/w the
body and the environment
I. to approach to applying healing therapies and it focuses on the interrelatedness of
body and mind
II. incorporating features of spirituality, emotional security, and environmental security,
and environment into natural holistic care supports the premise that the body knows
how to heal itself if given the proper support
