Social Exclusion
The state of disadvantage faced by particular groups who are felt to be removed from
mainstream society, and who cannot fully participate in normal life

“analysis of social exclusion can broaden the discussion of wellbeing by
considering dimensions beyond income poverty ... Being poor can lead to
exclusion, but exclusion is more than just being poor, it is about participation”

• Social exclusion is often mentioned as one of the social determinants of health.
• Paramount to address this process of exclusion in health care settings, especially for socially marginalised groups

What creates the Socially marginalised groups?
2018-1-EL01-KA202-047907 ©️ Martin Persson & Thomas Nilsen
How health inequalities arise• poor housing
• unsafe neighbourhoods
• early drop out from school and training
• insecure income
• inadequate financial protection at times of need
• poor service access
• limited employment opportunities
• poor working conditions
• inadequate legal protection against discriminatory practices on the basis of gender, ethnicity and sexuality.

Social determinants of health in relation to health care
2018-1-EL01-KA202-047907 ©️ Martin Persson & Thomas Nilsen
What are they?
• The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.
• These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels.

2018-1-EL01-KA202-047907 ©️ Martin Persson & Thomas Nilsen
Social determinantsIncome and social status – higher income and social status are linked to better health. The greater the gap between the richest and poorest people, the greater the differences in health.
Education – low education levels are linked with poor health, more stress and lower self-confidence
Physical environment – safe water and clean air, healthy workplaces, safe houses, communities and roads all contribute to good health. Employment and working conditions – people in employment are healthier, particularly those who have more control over their working conditions.World Health Organization.

2018-1-EL01-KA202-047907 ©️ Martin Persson & Thomas Nilsen
Social determinantsSocial support networks – greater support from families, friends and communities is linked to better health. Culture –customs and traditions, and the beliefs of the family and community – all affect health.
Genetics – inheritance plays a part in determining lifespan, healthiness and the likelihood of developing certain illnesses. Personal behaviour and coping skills – balanced eating, keeping active, smoking, drinking and how we deal with life’s stresses and challenges all affect health.
Health services – access and use of services that prevent and treat disease influence health.
Gender – men and women suffer from different types of diseases at different ages.World Health Organization. Health in all policies: training manual. 2015: ISBN 978 92 4 150798 1

What are they?
• The social determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities - the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries.

Health inequities are avoidable inequalities in health between groups of people within countries and
between countries.

Intergenerational transfer
• a person is born into a family with shorter period educated parents, the possibility to be low educated themselves is 34.2 %
• a person born into a family with longer educated parents, the possibility to be low educated is just 3.4 %

Some facts• There is a strong association between under five
mortality rate and deprivation and children who live in relative poverty report lower cognitive development scores by age 7.
• In the teenage years lower family affluence is associated with lower health and educational scores among teenagers who report higher feelings of isolation, lower self-esteem, and greater stress levels.

Some facts• In some countries there is a gap of up to 12 years in
life expectancy between those with the most and those with the least material security (income, housing, and employment) and the mortality gap for men is higher than for women.
• Every year more than 100 000 deaths occur in the WHO European Region as a result of inadequate housing conditions, many of which could be prevented.

Discuss in pairs
• What questions can you ask to find out if your patient belongs to socially marginalised group?

Variables for Social Determinants of Health • It is important for health care professionals to be
aware of those variables
2018-1-EL01-KA202-047907 ©️ Martin Persson & Thomas Nilsen
Socioeconomic status
• Therefore, when health care professionals address the psychological care of an individual with visible differences it is crucial at the same time to collect some basic variables.
2018-1-EL01-KA202-047907 ©️ Martin Persson & Thomas Nilsen
Socioeconomic status
• These basic variables should at a minimum include the “big 3”
1. Family income,
2. Parental educational attainment,
3. Parental occupational status
2018-1-EL01-KA202-047907 ©️ Martin Persson & Thomas Nilsen
Mental Health & Social determinants
• In pairs – discuss if you think mental health problems are influenced by social determinants• State why or why not?

Mental health facts• In all countries, most mental health problems are more
prevalent among those who are most deprived.
• Depression and anxiety are more common in the most poor and vulnerable in society.
• Socioeconomic status (SES) impacts on children life satisfaction. Four surveys of over 700,000 children across 14 years consistently finds children with the lowest SES are more likely to be at the bottom of the life satisfaction scale.

“Health literacy refers to people’s knowledge, motivation and competence to access, understand, appraise and apply health information in order to make judgments and take decisions about health care, disease prevention and health promotion to maintain or improve quality of life throughout their lives”

“Survey results from Europe and north America show that around half of all patients cannot understand basic health care information, which indicates that health literacy is not simply a minority problem.”

• How does health illiteracy influence you work?
• What can you do to help those patients?
