This is done by focusing on the initial cause of health issues and then looking at possible treatments or preventions that can then be implemented. “Health promotion enables people to increase control over their own health. It covers a wide range of social and environmental interventions that are designed to benefit and protect individual people’s health and quality of life by addressing and preventing the root causes of ill health, not just focusing on treatment and cure,”(WHO,2016).]]> 2021-10-19 12:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827048647 jesswade140204 https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827050138 Health education is about promoting ill health and diseases in order to inform individuals about what the illness is, what the signs and symptoms are and the possible long-term effects or cures for it. This helps to improve individuals health by improving their quality of life as they will have more information about illnesses, for example a sexually transmitted disease, as sex education talk is always spoken about to students when they are in school to inform them what a sexually transmitted disease is, how to prevent it and what are the consequences. By doing this it will reduce the amount of individuals who get the disease and also the cost for service because less individuals are likely to get the disease.]]> 2021-10-19 13:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827050138 jesswade140204 https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827051180 Health promotion is in regards to a large number of people and health concerns regarding each individual.Health promotion is what the government does in order to protect the health and wellbeing of the public this could be through legislations, financial changes or social changes. For example during COVID-19 the government created a law where you could not leave your house for unnecessary reasons, this was in order to safeguard the individuals from catching the virus and becomigill so that the spread of the virus was reduced.

An example of this would be safe water supply, this is a process that the gourmet has created in order to make water potable and safe to drink by removing any harmful bacteria within the water.  ]]> 2021-10-19 13:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827052468 Communicable jesswade140204 https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827056454 Communicable diseases can spread disease such as contact,  inhalation, insulation, ingestion, reservoirs, fomites and carriers. Disease can be  transmitted through direct contact which means from one person who has the disease to  another who does not by either touching each other's skin or bodily fluids, an example of  this would be HIV, but also indirect contact such as a contaminated object like surgical  equipment that has not been cleaned thoroughly. 

Inhalation transmits disease through  contaminated droplets in the air caused by coughing or sneezing that are breathed in.  There are two types of droplets in the air: air-borne droplets that are very small and can  last for long periods of time in the air, or larger droplets that are only in the air for a short  period of time and only travel short distances so you would need to be close to someone  who is contaminated to catch the disease. 

Ingestion is catching the disease through contaminated  food or water that has had the micro-organisms grow on and then has been ingested.  Reservoirs can be humans, animals or water that contain the disease and can be  transmitted from them, for example Tetanus is caused by the reservoir soil that has the  bacteria and animal faeces. 

Fomites are non-living objects such as a pencil that can pass  the disease on through an infected person passing droplets onto the pencil and a non person touching the same pencil, this is called cross-infection. Finally carriers also spread  disease because they may not realise they are infected if they are not showing any  symptoms, animals can also be carriers such as fleas.

According to (WHO,2021), “ The main types of NCD are cardiovascular diseases (such as heart attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma) and diabetes.” Non-communicable diseases are a major public health concern as they are one of the most common reasons for death worldwide. ]]> 2021-10-19 13:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827057451 Education session jesswade140204 https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827060074 Educating the public is really important in order for them to gain knowledge about any disease or risks to their health and wellbeing. Education about health can be done in several ways, these can include: information sharing sessions, digital media, leaflets, advertising, community programmes and learning materials. In order for individuals to take action to protect their health and wellbeing, they must gain enough knowledge about the signs, symptoms and what are the consequences of the disease. For example obesity, the public will need to be educated bout it to know how being obeses can cause a major risk to the health and that it can cause death in some cases, by doig this they will be able to monitor their exercise and wat they eat in order to prevent becoming overweight and obese.

Digital media is also the cheapest option which means that it is more beneficial for the government to get the public to be taught about a certain disease or condition that needs to be promoted quickly and efficiently. ]]> 2021-10-19 13:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827061179 Information sharing session jesswade140204 https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827062486 Information sharing sessions can be included in schools, for example children in school are taught about safe sex and what the consequences are such as sexually transmitted diseases, this is beneficial because if the public is taught about how to keep their body healthy earl on then they are bale to prevent and change their lifestyle in order to reduce the risk. If individuals are educated early enough then they are able to have control over their health and wellbeing and be able to take measures in order to protect themselves. ]]> 2021-10-19 13:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827062486 Leaflet jesswade140204 https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827063835 Leaflets can last for a long period of time, once they are created they can be spread across different settings, such as in schools, doctors, hospitals and many more. Leaflets are a strong way to educate people because they are colourful and are more attractive with pictures, therefore individuals are more likely to pick up and read the leaflet if it is short and effective rather than a long article on the internet. Leaflets are suitable for all ages especially the eldery if for example they are sitting in the waiting room and wanting to learn more about a certain disease, they are able to take the leaflet and also ready it later on rather than in that moment likely you would have to on digital media.

The information that is put across to the audience may be changing as it is advertised therefore it would need to be changed consistently. Advertising does not target a specific group for example tv adverts will be presented on the whole of the countries televisions which means it will be shared with everyone rather than a specific group of people. ]]> 2021-10-19 13:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827065005 Community programmes jesswade140204 https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1827066307 Community programmes help to educate the public by creating programmes to educate and target specific groups, these can be optional if they want to better themselves, for example slimming world is a community programme in which it can be located in a specific area where there are higher rates of obesity. These programmes are designed to create activities in order to educate the targeted group about a health condition so that they can benefit and know what they can do in order to protect or prevent themselves from developing the disease or condition.

Health promotion is a combination of education, politics and environmental factors, whereas health education is about learning experiences through providing knowledge to a group of people in the hope that they will make the correct life changes in order to improve their health. Health education is just providing the information and health promotion is more about empowering individuals.

In order to better an individual's health, you will need to educate the people about their health and certain condition before you can promote health. Promoting will come after education as in order to promote living a healthy lifestyle and changing certain behaviours, the individual will need to be educated as t why they need to change and why their health will improve. ]]> 2021-11-05 12:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jesswade140204/fzmanciw3fgb5i8b/wish/1869789153
