CHAPTER

1INDIVIDUAL

AND COMMUNITYHEALTH

In this chapter we start to explore the nature of health and the many factors that play a part in our wellbeing. We will be looking at a number of health issues important to young people. We will look at factors such as a healthy diet and issues of road safety. It is sometimes a little easier for us to realise the importance of road safety to our health. If we have an accident, the consequences are almost immediate. We know when we are injured. With diet, the consequences are often far off into the future. It is hard to realise what we eat today could affect our health when we reach the age of our parents.

We will also begin to look at some of the things that have a negative effect on the lives of young people. If it has not already happened, you may be tempted to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take drugs. The dangers of alcohol are a little easier to see since you can end up drunk. The dangers of smoking are much harder to see as the effects may not appear until 20 or 30 years later. There are both long- and short-term dangers of any type of drug use. Some drugs can have an immediate negative effect, for example Ecstasy has killed some teenagers in only a few hours. Marijuana’s negative effects are more long term, and include severe mental disorders and respiratory diseases.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has described health as ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. Thus health is an important part of wellbeing, of how people feel and function. Health is also a factor in our social and economic wellbeing. If you are not healthy you cannot earn an income or get involved with sport or leisure.

Many things determine and influence our health. These include: Human biology – the strengths and weaknesses we have inherited from our parents, diseases we may have suffered, as well as the normal ageing process.Lifestyle – how well we have cared for our bodies by controlling our diet and the amount of exercise we get.Environment – includes the quality of air, water and food we need. Social factors – includes customs and other social pressures both good and not so good. Health care – whether we have ready access to doctors, hospitals and medicines.

These components of health are summarised in Table 1.1. Notice that only one has to do with the body itself – the remainder have to do with the mind. Figure 1.2 Physical health.

1. In Table 1.1 Place the correct name with each definition of the components of health:

Spiritual; Physical; Social; Cognitive; Emotional

2. Use Table 1.1 to identify which components of health are being displayed in these examples.

(a) When playing soccer, Jim is deliberately tripped. He does not retaliate. ......................................

(b) Francis gets a part-time job and is praised by her employer. ................................................................

(c) When offered drugs, Anthony says no. .............................................

(d) Quan has never played squash before. When given the chance to play,

he decides to give it a go. ....................................................

ACTIVITY

1.2What do we

mean by ‘healthy’?

Health component Meaning

Involves keeping your mind open to new ideas and concepts. If you are intellectually healthy you seek new experiences and challenges. You have the ability to learn and use information effectively for personal, family, and career development.

A healthy body is maintained by eating well, exercising regularly, avoiding harmful habits, making informed and responsible decisions about health, seeking medical care when needed, and participating in activities that help prevent illness.

The ability to perform the expectations of social roles effectively, comfortably, and without harming others. The impetus to do ‘what is right’ in relation to others is more important than personal gain or consequences.

Understanding emotions and knowing how to cope with problems that arise in everyday life.

The state of harmony with yourself and others. The ability to balance inner needs with the demands of the rest of the world. The capacity to use strengths that come from deep inside.

3. The relationship between the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual components of health

are shown below. For each component give an example of how a problem can result in poorer health.

Elizabeth is a brilliant athlete. She represents her school in several sports including cross-country and soccer. She plays in the state girls soccer team. She is physically very healthy. But Elizabeth suffers from depression and is on constant medication. She is not blessed with total good health. Our health constantly changes. We get an infection or we injure ourself and our health decreases. As we get older we find we cannot run or jump as well as we used to. Our health may decline with age.Young, fit and healthy people can bounce back from sickness and injury. If we are healthy when young, our decline as we age is slowed.
