“…WHO (2020) defined health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Stokes, Noren, & Shindell (1982) defined heal as a state characterized by anatomic, physiologic and psychological integrity; ability to perform personally valued family, work and community roles, ability to deal with physical, biological, psychological and social stress".…”

The adverse effects of the pandemic (COVID-19) are already reflected in the Slovak economy. At the same time, some experts warn that the pandemic is not over and may manifest itself in the second wave. The article examines the concept of Health consciousness as one of the possible (preventive) measures in a pandemic. The aim is fourfold: 1. to measure the level of health consciousness in normal conditions 2. to measure the level of health consciousness during a pandemic 3. to examine the differences between these levels and 4. to determine the true meaning of health consciousness in a pandemic. A sample of 384 respondents was employed in the research to collect the empirical data. The sample was selected by the quota method. The study consisted of two phases-the first phase before the pandemic and the second phase during the pandemic (COVID-19). The one-way ANOVA test and linear regression analysis were used to explore the impact of selected factors on health consciousness in the Slovak population and to verify the hypotheses. The results of the research indicate that health consciousness increased sharply during the pandemic. At the same time, selected demographic factors were confirmed as factors influencing the level of health consciousness. The level of health consciousness can affect the frequency of infections. The results can be used in many fields (medicine, sociology, psychology, marketing), both theories and practice. Implications for a Central European audience: The development of the Slovak economy at the end of 2019 led to a more positive estimate of GDP growth and other economic indicators. The situation has changed in the context of the pandemic. Especially small and medium-sized enterprises represent a vulnerable place in the Slovak economy. We must look for possible ways to eliminate the pandemic and at the same time look for effective preventive means that could be used in the event of a second wave or another pandemic to protect human lives as well as the state economy.

“…Rappelons brièvement la caractérisation de chacun de ces types, avant d'envisager leur interprétation respective de l'éthique et de sa place dans l'exercice médical. Le modèle médical 4 (type 1) envisage la pathologie psychiatrique à partir des seuls facteurs biologiques, à l'exclusion de considérations d'ordre psycho-social (voir Boorse, 1977 ;Stokes et al, 1982). Il endosse une démarche protocolisée, explicitement revendiquée, de type : examen, identification de symptômes, diagnostic et mise en place d'un traitement médicamenteux.…”

Le champ psychiatrique français est empreint d'une diversité notable de traditions qui, en dépit des découvertes des neurosciences, se perpétue. La présente étude vise à explorer une possible corrélation entre des types caractéristiques de psychiatres et des attitudes remarquables en matière d'éthique. Afin de préciser les formes de cette corrélation, nous envisagerons, en premier lieu, la fréquence avec laquelle ces médecins sont confrontés, dans leur pratique, à des situations appelant un questionnement éthique, puis la nature de ces situations et enfin le sens que la notion d'éthique prend pour chacun des types décrits.

“…Health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living; it is a positive concept, emphasizing social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities (WHO 1984). (3) A state characterized by anatomical, physiological, and psychological integrity; an ability to perform personally valued family, work, and community roles; an ability to deal with physical, biological, and psychological stress; a feeling of well‐being; and freedom from the risk of disease and untimely death (Stokes, Noren, and Shindell 1982). (4) A state of equilibrium between humans and the physical, biological, and social environment, compatible with full functional activity (Last 1997).…”

Understanding Population Health Terminology

2007

Population health is a relatively new term, with no agreement about whether it refers to a concept of health or a field of study of health determinants. There is debate, sometimes heated, about whether population health and public health are identical or different. Discussions of population health involve many terms, such as outcomes, disparities, determinants, and risk factors, which may be used imprecisely, particularly across different disciplines, such as medicine, epidemiology, economics, and sociology. Nonetheless, thinking and communicating clearly about population health concepts are essential for public and private policymakers to improve the population's health and reduce disparities. This article defines and discusses many of the terms and concepts characterizing this emerging field.
