Basic Concepts and Principles of PHN
the science and art of preventing diseases, prolonging life,
and promoting health through the organized efforts and
informed choices of society, organizations, public and private,
communities, and individuals. - ANS-Public Health
T/F: Public health can be achieved without the conscious and
organized effort of the entire society - ANS-False; WITH
Incorporates the interdisciplinary approaches of epidemiology,
biostatistics and health services, environmental health,
community health, behavioral health, health economics, public
policy, insurance medicine, and occupational health. - ANS-Public Health
approach that is used establish the nature, magnitude, and severity of
communicable diseases and their risk factors. - ANS-Epidemiology and Biostatistics
approach done to determine reasons for
vaccine hesitancy and factors for vaccine acceptance
among people. - ANS-Behavior studies
approach performed
to compute for cost analysis and cost-effectiveness of
immunization programs in preventing hospitalization,
deaths, and disabilities arising from complications of
these communicable diseases. - ANS-Economic and health policy studies
apporach looks into how immunization
services can be funded by insurance companies or
integrated in the health benefits of industries for their
workers. - ANS-Insurance Medicine
Is a discipline concerned with the study and improvement of
the health characteristics of different communities. - ANS-Community Health
Focus on geographical areas and includes primary, secondary,
, and tertiary health care delivered to individuals and families in
communities in order to improve the health status of the
community as a whole. - ANS-Community Health
Levels of Prevention - ANS-1. Primary
2. Secondary
3. Tertiary
Focus of Primary Level of Prevention - ANS-Well clients
Goal of Primary Level of Prevention - ANS-Promote OLOF (Optimum Level of
Functioning)
Activities of Primary Level of Prevention - ANS-1. Risk reduction
2. Specific protection
Focus of Secondary Level of Prevention - ANS-Sick clients (early stage/ usually
asymptomatic)
Goal of Secondary Level of Prevention - ANS-Prevent complications
Activities of Secondary Level of Prevention - ANS-1. Early detection
2. Prompt treatment
3. Screening
4. Surveillance
5. Emergency services
Focus of Tertiary Level of Prevention - ANS-Sick clients (late stage/ usually
symptomatic)
Goal of Tertiary Level of Prevention - ANS-Limit disability
Activities of Tertiary Level of Prevention - ANS-1. Supportive care
2. Symptomatic Management
3. Rehabilitations
