Feeling Dis-ease in Modern History by Rob Boddice,Bettina Hitzer Pdf

This book explores experiences of illness, broadly construed. It encompasses the emotional and sensory disruptions that attend disease, injury, mental illness or trauma, and gives an account of how medical practitioners, experts, lay authorities and the public have felt about such disruptions. Considering all sides of the medical encounter and highlighting the intersection of intellectual history and medical knowledge, of institutional atmospheres, built environments and technological practicalities, and of emotional and sensory experience, Feeling Dis-ease in Modern History presents a wide-ranging affective account of feeling well and of feeling ill. Especially occupied with the ways in which dynamics of power and authority have either validated or discounted dis-eased feelings, the book's contributors probe at the intersectional politics of medical expertise and patient experience to better understand situated expressions of illness, their reception, and their social, cultural and moral valuation. Drawing on methodologies from the histories of emotions, senses, science and the medical humanities, this book gives an account of the complexity of undergoing illness: of feeling dis-ease.

The Handbook of Salutogenesis by Maurice B. Mittelmark,Georg F. Bauer,Lenneke Vaandrager,Jürgen M. Pelikan,Shifra Sagy,Monica Eriksson,Bengt Lindström,Claudia Meier Magistretti Pdf

This open access book is a thorough update and expansion of the 2017 edition of The Handbook of Salutogenesis, responding to the rapidly growing salutogenesis research and application arena. Revised and updated from the first edition are background and historical chapters that trace the development of the salutogenic model of health and flesh out the central concepts, most notably generalized resistance resources and the sense of coherence that differentiate salutogenesis from pathogenesis. From there, experts describe a range of real-world applications within and outside health contexts. Many new chapters emphasize intervention research findings. Readers will find numerous practical examples of how to implement salutogenesis to enhance the health and well-being of families, infants and young children, adolescents, unemployed young people, pre-retirement adults, and older people. A dedicated section addresses how salutogenesis helps tackle vulnerability, with chapters on at-risk children, migrants, prisoners, emergency workers, and disaster-stricken communities. Wide-ranging coverage includes new topics beyond health, like intergroup conflict, politics and policy-making, and architecture. The book also focuses on applying salutogenesis in birth and neonatal care clinics, hospitals and primary care, schools and universities, workplaces, and towns and cities. A special section focuses on developments in salutogenesis methods and theory. With its comprehensive coverage, The Handbook of Salutogenesis, 2nd Edition, is the standard reference for researchers, practitioners, and health policy-makers who wish to have a thorough grounding in the topic. It is also written to support post-graduate education courses and self-study in public health, nursing, psychology, medicine, and social sciences.

Colonial Dis-Ease by Anne Perez Hattori Pdf

A variety of cross-cultural collisions and collusions—sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic, but always complex—resulted from the U.S. Navy’s introduction of Western health and sanitation practices to Guam’s native population. In Colonial Dis-Ease, Anne Perez Hattori examines early twentieth-century U.S. military colonialism through the lens of Western medicine and its cultural impact on the Chamorro people. In four case studies, Hattori considers the histories of Chamorro leprosy patients exiled to Culion Leper Colony in the Philippines, hookworm programs for children, the regulation of native midwives and nurses, and the creation and operation of the Susana Hospital for women and children. Changes to Guam’s traditional systems of health and hygiene placed demands not only on Chamorro bodies, but also on their cultural values, social relationships, political controls, and economic expectations. Hattori effectively demonstrates that the new health projects signified more than a benevolent interest in hygiene and the philanthropic sharing of medical knowledge. Rather the navy’s health care regime in Guam was an important vehicle through which U.S. colonial power and moral authority over Chamorros was introduced and entrenched. Medical experts, navy doctors, and health care workers asserted their scientific knowledge as well as their administrative might and in the process became active participants in the colonization of Guam.

From Dis-ease To Health by C S Bairagi Pdf

When you have lived in a sick body for a decade or two, the idea of health cannot be contemplated by your consciousness. And when you are unable to contemplate something, it becomes very difficult to manifest it. A child is never conscious of its health; he or she almost always accepts this as a natural state of being. As a result, it is easy to restore a child to health when it occasionally falls sick. But we grownups seem to have a very hard time stepping out of an ailment and finding our own way back home. Why? Because we insist on staying the way we are by refusing to cooperate with the recovery of our being. We offer the magnificence of our intellect and reasoning at the feet of a discomfort in our body, thus converting an ordinary snow ball into a huge avalanche. Instead of focusing our attention on the 80 or 90% of our body that is healthy, we choose to focus on an ailment, not realizing the fact that our attention is the very thing which is keeping it there. When you identify with your sickness, it becomes a part of your being. You get so used to the idea of suffering from something that you cannot even imagine a life without it. And unless you start imagining a life that does not have in it what you don't want, what you don't want is going to stay with you whether you would like to admit it or not. Things first get manifested on the level of thought. Thought is the skeleton that then takes on flesh by bridging the gap between the formless and form. The shift from sickness to health has to be first made on the level of vibrations. Only then will the body be able to follow the direction of our practiced thought. The mind has to be healed even before the body and before health can be realized, it has to be imagined. This is where most of us fail to step out of the circumference of our habitual patterns of thought and this is where the momentum of our past robs our future of its potential to create.

The Salutogenic Model of Health by Maurice B. Mittelmark Pdf

Comprehensive resource that focuses on the origins of health rather than the origins of disease (pathogenesis). It traces the history and development of the Salutogenic Model, from Aaron Antonovsky's groundbreaking scholarship to the present day. The book examines the key concept of salutogenesis, Sense of Coherence (SOC) and the factors that mediate SOC and health. Bringing together leading scholars from the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE), this book aims to answer the question: where has over three decades of research and scholarship brought the Salutogenic Model of Health? Chapters look at the role of culture in the development of salutogenesis and the development of SOC over the life course. A key section summarizes the research in salutogenesis in the non-English literature and a section on research resources contains information on salutogenesis bibliographies, databases, organizations and web sites.

Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 9) by Dean T. Jamison,Hellen Gelband,Susan Horton,Prabhat Jha,Charles N. Mock,Rachel Nugent Pdf

As the culminating volume in the DCP3 series, volume 9 will provide an overview of DCP3 findings and methods, a summary of messages and substantive lessons to be taken from DCP3, and a further discussion of cross-cutting and synthesizing topics across the first eight volumes. The introductory chapters (1-3) in this volume take as their starting point the elements of the Essential Packages presented in the overview chapters of each volume. First, the chapter on intersectoral policy priorities for health includes fiscal and intersectoral policies and assembles a subset of the population policies and applies strict criteria for a low-income setting in order to propose a "highest-priority" essential package. Second, the chapter on packages of care and delivery platforms for universal health coverage (UHC) includes health sector interventions, primarily clinical and public health services, and uses the same approach to propose a highest priority package of interventions and policies that meet similar criteria, provides cost estimates, and describes a pathway to UHC.

Health Promotion in Health Care – Vital Theories and Research by Gørill Haugan,Monica Eriksson Pdf

This open access textbook represents a vital contribution to global health education, offering insights into health promotion as part of patient care for bachelor’s and master’s students in health care (nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiotherapists, social care workers etc.) as well as health care professionals, and providing an overview of the field of health science and health promotion for PhD students and researchers. Written by leading experts from seven countries in Europe, America, Africa and Asia, it first discusses the theory of health promotion and vital concepts. It then presents updated evidence-based health promotion approaches in different populations (people with chronic diseases, cancer, heart failure, dementia, mental disorders, long-term ICU patients, elderly individuals, families with newborn babies, palliative care patients) and examines different health promotion approaches integrated into primary care services. This edited scientific anthology provides much-needed knowledge, translating research into guidelines for practice. Today’s medical approaches are highly developed; however, patients are human beings with a wholeness of body-mind-spirit. As such, providing high-quality and effective health care requires a holistic physical-psychological-social-spiritual model of health care is required. A great number of patients, both in hospitals and in primary health care, suffer from the lack of a holistic oriented health approach: Their condition is treated, but they feel scared, helpless and lonely. Health promotion focuses on improving people’s health in spite of illnesses. Accordingly, health care that supports/promotes patients’ health by identifying their health resources will result in better patient outcomes: shorter hospital stays, less re-hospitalization, being better able to cope at home and improved well-being, which in turn lead to lower health-care costs. This scientific anthology is the first of its kind, in that it connects health promotion with the salutogenic theory of health throughout the chapters. the authors here expand the understanding of health promotion beyond health protection and disease prevention. The book focuses on describing and explaining salutogenesis as an umbrella concept, not only as the key concept of sense of coherence.
