 Physical health
1. Physical health:
 Physical health is essential to the complete health of an individual; this includes

everything from overall well-being to physical fitness. It can also be defined as a state of
physical well-being in which the individual is able to perform daily activities without
problems.
2. Mental health:
 mental health A state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual

is able to use his or her cognitive and emotional capabilities, function in society, and meet
the ordinary demands of everyday life.
 A person's overall emotional and psychological condition: Since witnessing the accident,
his mental health has been poor
3. Social health :
 Social health is one's ability to form meaningful personal relationships with others. It is
also an indication of one's ability to manage in social situations and behave accordingly.
4.Spiritual health:
 Spiritual health is a highly individualized concept that is measured by the amount of

peace and harmony an individual experiences in his day-to-day life. Spiritual health
fluctuates greatly by the amount of time an individual uses to develop personal spiritual
values
5. Environmental health:
 Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with all aspects of the
natural and built environment affecting human health. Environmental health is focused on
the natural and built environments for the benefit of human health.
6. Psychosocial health:
 Psychosocial health is an evaluation of the mental state resulting from life experiences
and maladjusted cognitive and behavioral processes; in short, the psychological and social
factors of life.
The Activities of Daily Living (ADLs):
 ADLs are uses as a measurement of a person’s functional status.

 First proposed in 1950 by Sidney katz who develop the first evaluation tool called the katz
ADL scale.
 ADL consist of basic ADLs and instrumental ADLs
 Basic ADLs are more essential for survival than IADLs.
 Instrumental ADLs are not necessary for fundamental functioning , but they let an individual
live independently in a community.
The basic Activities of Daily Living:
 The basic activities of daily living are a series of basic activities performed by individuals on
a daily basis necessary for independent living at home or in the community.
 There are many variations on the definition of the activities of daily living, but most
organizations agree there are 5 basic categories:
1) Personal hygiene – bathing/showering, grooming, nail care, and oral care.
2) Dressing - the ability to make appropriate clothing decisions and physically

dress/undress oneself.
3) Eating - the ability to feed oneself, though not necessarily the capability to prepare
food.
4) Maintaining continence - both the mental and physical capacity to use a restroom,
including the ability to get on and off the toilet and cleaning oneself.
5) Transferring/Mobility- moving oneself from seated to standing, getting in and out of

bed, and the ability to walk independently from one location to another.
The Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs):
 Instrumental Activities of Daily Living are actions that are important to being able to live
independently, but are not necessarily required activities on a daily basis.
 The instrumental activities are not as noticeable as the Activities of Daily Living when it
comes to loss of functioning, but functional ability for IADLs is generally lost prior to ADLs.
 IADLs can help determine with greater detail the level of assistance required by an elderly or
disabled person. The IADLs include:
1. Basic communication skills - such as using a regular phone, mobile phone, email, or the Internet
2. Transportation - either by driving oneself, arranging rides, or the ability to use public
transportation
3. Meal preparation - meal planning, cooking, clean up, storage, and the ability to safely use kitchen
equipment and utensils
4. Shopping - the ability to make appropriate food and clothing purchase decisions
5. Housework - doing laundry, washing dishes, dusting, vacuuming, and maintaining a hygienic
place of residence
6. Managing medications - taking accurate dosages at the appropriate times, managing re-fills, and
avoiding conflicts
7. Managing personal finances - operating within a budget, writing checks, paying bills, and avoiding
scams
Activities of Daily Living Checklist:
 ADLs measurement in relation with health status :

(a) Requires no assistance – person is independent i.e. healthy
(b) Some assistance needed- partially dependent.
(c) Complete assistance needed – dependent on other for work i.e. unhealthy.
