Discussion Prompt
Exploring the concepts of health: Why is the way an individual defines health
and health problems important? What are the implications for advance practice
nurses? Which theoretical model of health is of particularly interest to you?
Why?


A person is considered healthy from the definition of health by the World Health

Organization (WHO) if he or she has complete wellbeing. Determining a person as healthy or not

based on wellbeing needs to take a person’s perspective of his or her own quality of life rather

than disease status. This allows us to address unique health issues in a patient. When patients and

their healthcare workers listen and communicate openly with each other, a shared understanding

and therapeutic working relationship develop which improve decision-making and the quality-of-

care patients receive (Walters, 2016). NPs’ understanding of their patients’ definition of health

based on their healthcare beliefs, values, and preferences is an essential feature of patient-

centered care. The implications to practice are reflected in the succeeding concepts. A key

principle in health behavior systems is that patient’s perceptions about health predicts health

behaviors, e.g., compliance to plan of care, use of healthcare services, and lifestyle modification.

Developing awareness about patient’s health beliefs can help identify gaps between the nurses’

and patients’ understanding of the health situation (Kennedy et al., 2017). This facilitates coming

, up with treatment choices that are more acceptable to patients and are aligned to their needs and

expectations. NPs’ skill in perceiving and understanding patient’s definition of health and their

related beliefs reflects compassion which equates to effective communication and higher quality

of care. Research findings support that shared understanding of health definition, issues, and

expectations between patients and their healthcare team leads to better patient satisfaction,

commitment to plan of care, active participation in decision-making, and better care outcomes.

These concepts pique my interest on the Health Belief Model which posits that

interaction with patients will achieve optimal behavior change by targeting the patients’ health

concepts where health expectations, perceived barriers, benefits, threats, and self-efficacy are

covered. Understanding patients’ perception of health in this model explores the six constructs

that predict health behavior: risk susceptibility, risk severity, benefits to action, barriers to

action, self-efficacy, and cues to action (Jones et al., 2015). These are integrated in the adoption

of health behaviors for health promotion and disease prevention.
