  12. VLE and SocPop Peer Support: Week 2 So off you (Soc)pop….. Break into four groups Match the definitions of health to the examples – which are positive and which are negative? 3 mins Match the key features of the medical and social models of health and identify the criticisms. 3 mins THEN SWITCH!

  13. VLE and SocPop Peer Support: Week 2 The medical model • The dominant paradigm in western health care The way of understanding and interpreting a problem which is taken for granted and accepted by society to the virtual exclusion of other approaches • Accepted not only by those within the profession of medicine, but by society as a whole • Dominant, but not the only way of looking at health, illness and disease

  14. VLE and SocPop Peer Support: Week 2 Key features: medical model A state of health is the absence of disease (normality). Ill health is based upon pathological changes (abnormality) Ill health is caused by biological misfortunes Causes of ill health are identified by signs and symptoms and the process of ‘diagnosis’; to ‘cure’ is to restore to a healthy (normal) state Medical knowledge is exclusionary, i.e. the job of experts The medical model of health is disease orientated and concerned with pathology; i.e. focuses on the individual

  15. VLE and SocPop Peer Support: Week 2 Criticisms: medical model The majority of ‘power’ is located in the hands of the medical profession not patients Shift to chronic/degenerative conditions (often multi-factorial and multi-dimensional in nature) which are not associated with a simple biological cause or amenable to medical cure Need to consider social/cultural influences on health What is normal for one person may not be normal for another

  16. VLE and SocPop Peer Support: Week 2 Key features: Social model of health A state of health is socially constructed; i.e. it is varied, uncertain and diverse Ill health is also caused by social/cultural factors not only biological factors Causes are identified through beliefs and interpretation Knowledge is not exclusionary; it has a historical, cultural and social context The social model is holistic, concerned with people’s lives and experiences, and how people themselves define health

  17. VLE and SocPop Peer Support: Week 2 Four main definitions of health Health is the absence of illness: If I am not sick I generally consider myself healthy Health is functional ability: As long as I am able to carry out my daily functions (e.g. going to work, taking care of the household) Health is equilibrium: The mind, body and spirit are all connected. All need to be in sync for good health Health is freedom: the capacity to ‘do’. With good health comes the ability to do what you want to do

  18. VLE and SocPop Peer Support: Week 2 Positive and Negative definitions Negative: health equals the absence of illness/ability to carry out daily responsibilities Positive: health is achieving harmony and equilibrium in daily life/provides the freedom to live life to its fullest Different groups of people may favour different definitions of health; e.g. groups lower down the social hierarchy are more likely to hold fatalistic views regarding health and illness

  19. VLE and SocPop Peer Support: Week 2 WHO Def • The WHO (1948) definition of health: Health is a state of complete physical, social and mental well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity • Problematic in the sense it is difficult to achieve such a definition
