HEALTH TEACHING This is the profession of educating people about health. Areas within this profession encompass environmental health, physical health, social health, emotional health, intellectual health, and spiritual health. It can be defined as the principle by which individuals and groups of people learn to behave in a manner conducive to the promotion, maintenance, or restoration of health. However, as there are multiple definitions of health, there are also multiple definitions of health education. (www.wikipedia.com)
The Joint Committee on Health Education and Promotion Terminology of 2001 defined Health Education as "any combination of planned learning experiences based on sound theories that provide individuals, groups, and communities the opportunity to acquire information and the skills needed to make quality health decisions.” The World Health Organization defined Health Education as "comprising consciously constructed opportunities for learning involving some form of communication designed to improve health literacy, including improving knowledge, and developing life skills which are conducive to individual and community health."
INTRODUCTION I have greeted the patient and relative and assist them to their need. I have started to introduce myself by telling my name and my role as an emergency room and neuro nurse. I have told the relative and patient that I will be their nurse until I have transferred them to their room of choice or ICU department. Then I told them if they need anything they could ask for my assistance in health related concern for this patient.
