Prevention And Health Promotion

Despite the efforts of the health care industry to raise men's awareness and participation in attending to their own health needs, men continue to be very poor consumers of health care services (Gibson & Denner, 2000). The MAN model is a model of disease prevention and health promotion that seeks to improve and create pathways for men and adolescents to better access the Health Care System (Gibson & Denner, 2000). If men at present do not come to the health services, then men's health programs may need to journey to where men are gathered. The MAN Model was developed to address specifically this problem of reaching men and getting them to discuss their health concerns in a culturally relevant way. Apart from social and sporting venues, the workplace also represents another significant culturally relevant site for men's health discussions. Men's health in the workplace is subject to the same social, economic, cultural and environmental factors as health in the community (Noblet & Murphy, 1995). The MAN Model has developed a pathway for the education and empowerment of males to deal with their health needs preventively rather than reactively both in the community and the workplace.

Prevention And Health Promotion

Patient satisfaction has become one of the central indicators to measure quality of provision of health care services. However, it has been made clear in previous literature that the effectiveness and efficiency of the health care services is not directly proportional to the satisfaction level, because an array of patient’s personal, psychological, and cognitive factors such as beliefs, expectations, knowledge and others may come into play. In this current article, we report on a study aiming to examine the role of health literacy in predicting patient satisfaction with health care in Latvia. In summer-autumn 2017, data were collected from a random sample of 451 participants (44 % male) in age from 18 to 81 years. The participants filled-in the questionnaire consisting of: Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-III, Ware, Snyder, & Wright, 1976) and European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q, HLS-EU Consortium, 2012). We measured four out of the seven aspects of PSQ, namely, general satisfaction, technical quality, interpersonal aspects, and communication. HLS-EU-Q contains three subscales: health care, disease prevention, and health promotion. Study results confirm that one of the health literacy aspects - health care - was the most important predictor of all patient satisfaction aspects, while health promotion predicted technical quality.

BACKGROUND Few of the improving men's health programs are based on masculinity values, men's preferences, and interests. Studies show that programs prepared using gender-specific approaches are more effective in men's health and provide more positive contributions to men's health. Addressing the immigrant men's health and male-specific health issues in this program shows that this program is gender-specific. OBJECTIVE The study purpose of examining the effect of the “IHAPIM” program on health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies of immigrant men. METHODS We make an effort to report this randomized controlled trial to comply with the SPIRIT. The population size consists of 95 immigrant men who live in the north of Turkey. The study, between March 2020–March 2021, was held in the two districts predominantly immigrants live. The participants were randomly divided into the experimental and control group. The experimental (N = 49) received a short‐term IHAPIM program (5 weeks, 1 hr per week, 10 hr in total). Each group’s intervention performed by researchers. The immigrant men’ health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies measured before “IHAPIM” program performed and three month after “IHAPIM” program performed. Measurements were obtained during pre-and post‐test from the experimental and control group (N = 46). In this study, participants and statistician who conducted the research blinded. RESULTS The results showed that both the levels of health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies were significantly different between the two study groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study is anticipated to provide a piece of significant evidence of the health promotion interventions for immigrants men performed by researchers and efficacy of health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies in immigrant men group. It is assumed that health promotion interventions specific to male gender and sensitivity to immigrants' language lead to beneficial results on health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies in immigrant men. Suppose the “IHAPIM” program perform in practice by public health nurses. It can be effectively improved immigrant men’s health variables such as health perceptions, health responsibilities, perceived stress level, attitudes towards utilizing health care services, and the types of coping strategies.

Gender Specific

Men are more likely to die of cancer, heart disease, or diabetes at younger ages than women – a reality that is compounded by the reluctance of men to utilize health care services. In addition to reduced life expectancy, men can also expect to live fewer healthy years than their female counterparts. As gynecologists and obstetricians have led the women’s health movement in addressing gender-specific gaps in care, urologists are well poised to take on a leadership role to advocate for and address men’s health initiatives.

Care Approach

Promoting men's health in primary care settings such as general practice is now common, but what might primary health care for men's health look like in community health settings? This paper reports on case studies of diverse community-based health and wellbeing services for men in South Australia. The programs selected as case studies include Aboriginal men, gay men and homosexually active men, men from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, older men, middle-aged men, fathers, young men, as well as services that focus on childhood sexual abuse and violence intervention. The case studies share the following main features - they have a social view of health, use a primary health care approach with an emphasis on prevention, address issues of access and equity, use social justice principles, and work across a number of sectors. These features were integrated into a socially just primary health care framework for men's health in community health settings. Socially just primary health care can address health inequities within men's health that are related to, among other things, class, race, ethnicity and sexuality. Socially just primary health care services can work collaboratively with women's health on common concerns such as violence intervention and childhood sexual abuse. Moreover, socially just primary health care services reflect local concerns, where health professionals work with men rather than acting as outside experts.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the activities of clinical nature developed by pharmacists in basic health units and their participation in educational activities aiming at health promotion. METHODS: This article is part of the Pesquisa Nacional sobre Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos – Serviços, 2015 (PNAUM – National Survey on Access, Use and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines – Services, 2015), a cross-sectional and exploratory study, of evaluative nature, consisting of a survey of information in a representative sample of cities, stratified by the Brazilian regions that constitute domains of study, and a subsample of primary health care services. The interviewed pharmacists (n=285) were responsible for the delivery of medicines and were interviewed in person with the use of a script. The characterization of the activities of clinical nature was based on information from pharmacists who declared to perform them, and on participation in educational activities aiming at health promotion, according to information from all pharmacists. The results are presented in frequency and their 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: From the interviewed subjects, 21.3% said they perform activities of clinical nature. Of these, more than 80% considered them very important; the majority does not dispose of specific places to perform them, which hinders privacy and confidentiality in these activities. The main denominations were “pharmaceutical guidance” and “pharmaceutical care.” The registration of activities is mainly made in the users’ medical records, computerized system, and in a specific document filed at the pharmacy, impairing the circulation of information among professionals. Most pharmacists performed these activities mainly along with physicians and nurses; 24.7% rarely participated in meetings with the health team, and 19.7% have never participated. CONCLUSIONS: Activities of clinical nature performed by pharmacists in Brazil are still incipient. The difficulties found point out to the professionals’ improvisation and effort. The small participation in educational activities of health promotion indicates little integration of pharmacists with the health team and of pharmaceutical services with other health actions

Salutogenic Model

AbstractThe Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated the vulnerability of our health care systems as well as our societies. During the year of 2020, we have witnessed how whole societies globally have been in a turbulent state of transformation finding strategies to manage the difficulties caused by the pandemic. At first glance, the health promotion perspective might seem far away from handling the serious impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, as health promotion is about enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, paradoxically health promotion seems to be ever more important in times of crisis and pandemics. Probably, in the future, pandemics will be a part of the global picture along with the non-communicable diseases. These facts strongly demand the health care services to reorient in a health promoting direction.The IUHPE Global Working Group on Salutogenesis suggests that health promotion competencies along with a reorientation of professional leadership towards salutogenesis, empowerment and participation are required. More specifically, the IUHPE Group recommends that the overall salutogenic model of health and the concept of SOC should be further advanced and applied beyond the health sector, followed by the design of salutogenic interventions and change processes in complex systems.
