Human Experience Across the Health Illness Continuum
Health illness continuum depicts wellbeing and sickness along a continuum with
significant level wellbeing and health at one outrageous finish of this continuum and undeniable
degrees of ailment and chronic weakness, including demise itself, at the other outrageous finish
of this continuum, (registered nursing organization, 2021). It can also be described as an outline
which suggested that the prosperity of an individual is made out of the psychological cognizance,
enthusiastic wellbeing and the condition of if an individual has a disease. The sound state of an
individual differs with times where one could be genuinely fine and in different occurrences
experience the ill effects of certain conditions, (Payton, 2017). This paper looks into the health
ilness continuum and its impoortance to patient care.
Since the Wellbeing disease continuum is a portrayal of wellbeing a two inverse way one
towards wellbeing and other towards the premature demise, it is important to be in the
knowledge of the condition of an individual in the continuum scale. In the scale, a neutral point
is available. This point demonstrates that the individual is healthy. This scale assists with
discovering the condition of individual and assists him with taking back to the unbiased position.
When really focusing on the patients it has connection with wellbeing and human experience.
A patient having circulatory strain in pre - hypertensive condition is in the scale, away
from the neutral point by a small margin. Through health education on preventive measures on
hypertension through the health specialist assists with bringing back to the unbiased point.
Human experience in this case, is by the instruction of a health worker. Take into consideration
the same patient this time not get health instructions. Rather his friends orient him to medical
affliction propensities like smoking, liquor addiction and having junk as foods. His health thus
gets additionally weakened and he is moving away from the neutral point. In care of patient’s
3
health, therefore, human connection is significant. Hence these two have connection to patient
care.
Health implies not only shortfall of sickness. It refers to a condition of total physical and
emotional well-being, (Sampson, 2020). Mental health too is of great importance. It characterizes
comprehensive health of the client. If an individual is in great physical and emotional shape yet
he is experiencing gentle discouragement or mild depression, the person then can not be termed
as healthy. Health can also be termed as a positive concept putting emphasizes on personal and
social resources without forgetting physical capacities. Currently I fall at the neutral position on
the health illness continuum.
Practices that support health include health education, conducting programs to create
awareness, training programs and demonstrating the sound habits. Behaviors that degrade
wellbeing are involvement in sick solid propensities, for example, smoking, physically inactive,
alcoholism and eating junk foods. These are a portion of the normal propensities for the person
that reduce health. If these individuals are having no medical problems, then there will be no
adjustment in the neutral point, (course hero, 2021). Every individual is advised to stay on the
neutral point of the halth ilness continuum by checking on their behavoir.
These days numerous assets are accessible for health advancement. First and foremost,
there are a number of free clinics which offer advice and also free consultation. The internet is
also a reliable source of information if and when used correctly. Assets such as phone
applications for fitness and applications for medical consultations are readily available. obesity is
the significant reason for all constant illnesses these days. the fitness applications give a
guideline on what workouts a person can do in order to keep their physical health in-check.
Applications where one can seek advice from a professional in matters of mental health are also
4
available. Online health workers and doctors are always available on the internet. At a fee, they
are able to take one through processes that can help managing a disease are even a mental or
emotional condition to promote wellness.
In conclusion, a continuum of care is a framework that gives a complete scope of
wellbeing administrations, so that care can advance with the patient over the long run. With the
agreement that a patient's wellbeing might be generally defenseless during holes in care, the
continuum of care exists to guarantee those holes are filled. The psychological wellness
continuum is a reach having emotional well-being and dysfunctional behavior at the two
outrageous closures. Contingent upon the inside and outer resources of an individual whenever,
he can lie at one place of the continuum and shift position as his circumstance improves or
disintegrates.
