Ways to Prevent Disease
Southern New Hampshire University by Phillip Gavhu

Overview
Each year the hospital where you work, Stronger Memorial hosts a Wellness Fair for its employees
...
This year, you are on the
Wellness Fair organizing committee and will be working with colleagues from around the hospital to
develop educational materials for various booths
...


Directions
One booth at the Wellness Fair is designed to educate employees at Stronger Memorial Hospital
about preventable disease in the United States and worldwide
...
The format of the presentation is important; people
stay at the booth for no more than 10 minutes at a time, so the material should be presented in an
engaging way to hold people’s attention and recorded so that anyone can staff the booth
...
Comparison of the leading causes of preventable diseases worldwide and in the US

Ways (behaviors, strategies or habits) to reduce preventable disease

Cardiovascular diseases are the major reason of death worldwide

in the world

The world is making development against infectious diseases
...

Lesser individuals die at a young age
...

Chief danger reasons for premature death worldwide involve high blood
pressure, smoking, obesity, high blood sugar and environmental risk factors
including air pollution
...

Death rates for these diseases vary widely across states, related to variation in the
distribution of social determinants of health, access and use of health services, and
public health efforts
...
The estimated number of potentially preventable deaths and the
proportion preventable among the five leading causes of death in persons aged <80
years were 87,950 for diseases of the heart (30% preventable); 63,209 for cancer (15%
preventable); 45,331 for accidents (43% preventable); 29,232 for CLRD (36%
preventable); and 15,175 for stroke (28% preventable) (Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 2016) To determine the number of premature annual deaths for the
five leading causes of death that potentially could be prevented ("potentially
preventable deaths"), CDC analyzed National Vital Statistics System mortality data from
2008–2010

...
It is a unified structure of seven different dimensions that work together: All seven
dimensions are related and comprise the areas of physical, intellectual, emotional, social,
spiritual, environmental, and occupational
...
While you are exercising and improving your physical dimension, you are
also stimulating your social and intellectual dimensions since you are engaging with others
who are like-minded, and you are involved in stimulating conversations
...
Come to think about it, when you open the
door to one dimension, you are starting interest in another dimension (College of America,
n
...
There several areas in your life that influence
your body, such as your dietary habits, if you use protection if sexually active, your
consumption of alcohol, and whether you use any drugs, including prescriptions
that were not written for you
...
The physical
dimension also includes self-prevention when it comes to medical care
...

...
Many
of us play math games like Sudoku because we believe that it’s important to

maintain an active mind in order to stay well
...
It includes any type of
intellectual growth that even goes beyond any type of classroom learning
...
Stay curious! Read the newspaper to stay informed of global, national,
and local events
...

•EMOTIONAL DIMENSION – We should strive to have balance in our lives so that we
are not always working
...
We
should be filled with acceptance and awareness of not just others in our lives; we
should have that same acceptance and awareness for ourselves
...
When those
chemical messengers are turned on, your immune function is compromised and
you increase your risk for illness
...
These positive
emotional states can actually help us live longer
...
d)
•SOCIAL DIMENSION – As they say, no man is an island, and it takes a village
...
In order to do this, it’s important for us to have the social
skills to get along with others and to appreciate them
...

Social people are involved in their community by volunteering and by having a
group of friends where they can share their ups and downs in life
...
Feeling connected has also shown to reduce the amount of
healing after a disease
...

Perhaps, we have experienced the death of a loved one
...
d)
•SPIRITUAL DIMENSION – This can be a tricky one because many people believe that
this means you need to embrace and worship a spiritual deity
...
The spiritual dimension means that
you have been on a road where you have a personal search for meaning in your
life
...
Instead, it is a life-long quest to look for that direction in your life, and
experiencing the job of having different meaning and direction as you grow older
...
d)
...
Each of us can
have a level of wellness when we have natural resources available to us such as
clean air, drinkable water, and nutritious food
...

Sadly, we depend more and more on things that create conveniences in our life
but that end up harming the environment
...
Luckily, we’ve had more and more of a focus
on recycling, responsible farming which limits pesticides, carpooling and
conserving electricity
...
d)
•OCCUPATIONAL DIMENSION – Are you happy with your job? We should all feel some
level of satisfaction with our jobs since we spend at least one-third of our life at
work
...
Do you prefer to be in a leadership role? Do
you enjoy helping others or having daily challenges? Perhaps you prefer the
safety of having a consistent schedule each day
...

The Power of Prevention and Intervention
Various studies have shown that many of us do not fully understand the impact that chronic
disease has on the number of premature deaths and the increased costs in health care
...

As health care professionals, we actually have an important role to impact people to take
responsibility to make those better choices
...
Health promotion within an organization or a
community include activities, seminars, and programs to address stress management,
tobacco cessation, and weight management
...

We may want to think about having a vision for prevention
...
We need to begin thinking about the power of prevention rather than spending
all of our time and financial resources to figure out new and improved treatments and
medications for chronic diseases
...
Does your workplace and
community have programs to tackle the areas of obesity, tobacco use, and physical
inactivity? Spending a little money now will prevent the huge costs later

4 In addition, the
percentage of adults with high cholesterol, a major risk factor for heart disease, has been cut
by almost half since the early 1960s
...
Largely through public health efforts targeting screening, breast cancer deaths
among women decreased by 2% per year from 1998 to 2005, and deaths from colorectal
cancer decreased among both men and women by 4% per year from 1995 to 2005
...

Because of public health efforts, higher percentages of people with diabetes are monitoring
their blood sugar daily and receiving, through health professionals, annual foot exams, eye
exams, and influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations
...
(Centers of Disease Control, 2009)

The majority vital element to take away from this presentation is that
...
It is the
option that we make everyday that impacts our personal health
...

Our aim today is to assist you learn more about these choices and to urge you to be
accountable for making any changes you need to make in your daily routine
...
These four behaviors include physical activity, tobacco use,
alcohol and drug consumption, and nutrition
...

Not only will physical activity increase your chances of living longer, it will also help you to
control weight, reduce your risks for cardiovascular disease, reduce type 2 diabetes,
strengthen your bones and muscles, improve your emotional health and mood, plus help
you to get a good night’s sleep (Centers of Disease Control, 2009)

...
Each of us most likely need to increase our consumption of fruits and
vegetables and this helps reduce the risk for heart disease (Centers of Disease Control, 2009)

...
Through participation in workplace and community programs, we can be certain that
everyone stops tobacco use smoking
...
We should not be
drinking more than one alcoholic drink each day (Centers of Disease Control, 2009)

Sometimes beyond health promotion we need to intervene; we need to put policies and
procedures into place at work and establish laws in our community so that people begin to
take more responsibility for their health
...

• Eliminate sugar free drinks in school cafeterias and replace with water (National Centers of
Disease Control and Prevention 2009)
•Getting reasonable hours of sleep every night,
•Educating people about engaging in safe sex and the importance of condoms in
preventing getting STD,s diseases
