LATEST UPDATE 2025
Definition of Health - ANSWER WHO developed a holistic definition of health
to be "A complete state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely
just the absence of disease or infirmity"
This has been adopted as the holistic view of health.
Dimensions of Health - ANSWER Physical, Social, Emotional, Mental and
Spiritual.
*Physical Health* - is the wellness of the body (eg. nutrition, strength)
*Social Health* - is the way you interact with others (eg. relationships,
communication)
*Emotional Health* - is the ability to cope with emotions (eg. self-esteem, anger,
stress)
*Mental Health* - is the wellness of the mind (eg. function of the mind, anxiety)
*Spiritual Health* - is having a deep sense of purpose in life (eg. goals, morals,
faith, beliefs)
, Relative & Dynamic Nature of Health - ANSWER The *relative* nature of
health - refers to how we judge our health compared to other points in our life
(eg. past BMI)
The *dynamic* nature of health - refers to the constant change that occurs in our
level of health (eg. going to sleep fine, and waking up with a runny nose and sore
throat)
Perceptions of their Health - ANSWER The views that individuals have of their
own health will affect their behaviours and attitudes
Perceptions of Health of Others - ANSWER The factors affecting a persons view
of health are: age, gender, education, family, friends, socioeconomic status and
lifestyle
Age - a person who is older will view health differently to that of a person who is
younger. (eg. The older person could be naive to new medicine and physical
therapy techniques)
Gender - The gender gap could obscure elements of perceptions of health (a
female have the view that a skinnier body is better *social construct*, however a
male could view a more muscularly big and bulky body as a good thing as it
expresses physical fitness)
Implications of Different Perceptions of Health - ANSWER The way people view
and comment on others health contributes to how "healthy" someone is, and
then, the behaviours someone will participate in. (eg. crossing the road to avoid a
person who looks homeless)
