Question 1: What is the significance of health education for the elderly? "Health and longevity" is the common wish of the elderly. If you want your wish to come true, you must first understand that a long-lived old man must have "health". Long-lived elderly people can only improve their quality of life and be happy and productive if they stay healthy. In order to enjoy "health and longevity", the elderly are actively looking for effective methods. There are indeed many methods recommended by scholars nowadays, which can be found in various newspapers and monographs for the elderly. The author believes that the way to achieve a long and healthy life should be to receive "health education" first. The primary health care called by the World Health Organization emphasizes health education. In response to the call of the World Health Organization, China has set up health education courses in primary and secondary schools, many universities have set up health education elective courses, and even some universities have listed health education courses as compulsory courses to enhance the self-care awareness of children and adolescents. As more and more elderly people in China, they had no conditions to receive health education classes before, and now they have to make up for this class. Because the elderly are in a period of declining physiological function, the characteristics of their diseases are different from other age groups, so their health education should also be different from other people. I. Significance of Health Education Health education refers to encouraging people to take healthy behaviors voluntarily through planned, organized and systematic educational activities, eliminating or reducing risk factors, reducing morbidity, disability and mortality, and improving the quality of life. Its purpose is to let the masses establish the values of physical and mental health, master the knowledge and skills of self-care, realize the health of everyone and improve the health quality of all mankind. But most people only understand the concept of health education as "cooperating with the prevention and treatment of certain diseases and the publicity of general health knowledge". They believe that health education is provided by medical workers, not by individuals themselves. It is very wrong to hold this idea. It is tantamount to "waiting for the rabbit." Second, the rise of health education is an inevitable trend in history. According to the development of medical and health undertakings, health education appeared in the 1970s, which was first put forward by the United States. His theory is based on some health statistics: from the end of 19 to the beginning of 1950s, the medical community achieved great success in the fight against infectious diseases with the highest mortality, such as the eradication of smallpox. According to American statistics, the number of people who died of acute infectious diseases in 1900- 1977 dropped from 580/65438+ million to 300/65438+ million. In addition to the progress of medicine and the popularization of immunization, environmental hygiene and food hygiene have also improved. With the rapid development of medical technology and the emergence of specific drugs such as antibiotics in the United States in the 1950 s, the mortality rate in the United States has dropped rapidly. However, this decline stopped in the mid-1950s. During the period of 1.960- 1.973, the mortality rate basically remained above 9.3-9.7 ‰ (see chart). Statistics show that the progress of medical technology can prolong people's life and reduce mortality. But why can't the mortality rate continue to decline after 50 generations? This is because when infectious diseases and malnutrition are no longer the main causes of death, some chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, cancer and cerebrovascular diseases have become the main causes of death.

Cause of death. The causes of occurrence and death of these diseases are mainly caused by unhealthy lifestyles, such as alcoholism, smoking, unreasonable eating habits and lack of physical exercise. In order to reduce the death caused by these factors, health education rose in the United States in the 1970s, which greatly reduced the morbidity and mortality of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. For example, from 1963 to 1980 in the United States, the mortality rates of these two diseases have changed greatly. From 55 to 64 years old, the mortality of myocardial infarction decreased by 38‰, and the mortality of cerebral infarction decreased by 52.9‰. After the United States, other developed countries have also implemented health education and achieved the same results. Therefore, China has spared no effort to carry out health education in recent years. 3. The scope of health education and the content of implementing health education are very extensive. Everything related to human health belongs to the scope of health education, such as human physiological function, psychological activity, life behavior, and the influence of the surrounding natural environment and social environment on human health. Since the content of health education is so extensive, its implementation must be guaranteed by manpower and material resources. Some medical colleges and universities in China have set up health education majors, and now they have cultivated them. & gt

Question 2: What is the purpose and significance of health education to keep you healthy?

Question 3: Briefly describe the significance and function of health education? The purpose of education is to cultivate healthy and comprehensive people (sound people). Health can be divided into physical health and mental health. The meaning is simple: the body is the capital of the revolution, and physical and mental health is the basic condition for active life, work and study.

Question 4: Principles and significance of caring for the elderly.

Geriatric nursing has its special laws and professional requirements. In order to achieve the nursing goal, we should also follow the relevant nursing principles in nursing practice. Modern basic nursing theory reveals the reasonable ways and forms to realize the goals of nursing activities, and provides the general direction and methodological guidance for nursing practice. System theory, need theory and self-care theory all have positive guiding significance for nursing work. These theories can be used as the basis for formulating nursing principles for the elderly.

1. Meet the needs

The satisfaction of people's needs is directly proportional to their health. Therefore, we should first meet the needs of the elderly. Nurses should strengthen their understanding of the aging process, combine the normal and pathological aging process and the unique psychological and social characteristics of the elderly with general nursing knowledge, find out the existing and potential health problems and needs of the elderly in time, so that nursing activities can provide content to meet the needs and concerns of the elderly, which will really help the healthy development of the elderly.

2. Social care

The elderly care targets not only elderly patients, but also healthy elderly people and their families. Therefore, elderly care must take care of hospitals, families and people. Nursing work should not only be in the ward, but also include the community and the whole society. In a sense, the care of family and society is more important, because it not only benefits people, but also greatly reduces the burden of family and society.

3. Holistic nursing

Because the elderly are different from other people in physiology, psychology and social adaptability, especially the elderly patients often have a variety of diseases, which are intertwined and affect each other. Therefore, nurses must establish the concept of holistic nursing, study the influence of various factors on the health of the elderly, and provide multi-level and all-round nursing. On the one hand, nurses are required to be fully responsible for patients, pay attention to the unity of patients' physical and mental health in nursing work and solve the overall health problems of patients; On the other hand, it needs the overall cooperation of nursing business, nursing management, nursing system, nursing scientific research and nursing education to ensure the overall improvement of nursing level.

4. Personalized care

Aging is a systematic, multifaceted and complex degradation process, and the degree of aging varies from person to person. The factors affecting aging and health are also very complicated, especially after the disease, the situation of elderly individuals is very different, and the patients' gender, illness, family, economy and other aspects are different. Therefore, we should not only follow the general nursing principles, but also pay attention to the individualized nursing principles to achieve targeted and effective nursing.

5. Early protection

When aging begins is still inconclusive. Moreover, some senile diseases have a long history, such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and so on. They usually start in the middle and young age. Therefore, primary prevention should be carried out as soon as possible, and the implementation of elderly nursing should start from middle-aged and young people, and more attention should be paid to it when entering old age. It is necessary to understand the causes, risk factors and protective factors of common diseases of the elderly and take effective preventive measures to prevent the occurrence and development of diseases of the elderly. For patients with chronic diseases and disabled elderly people, the earlier rehabilitation medical care and nursing are implemented according to the situation, the better.

Perseverance

With the growth of age, coupled with the long course of senile diseases and many complications and sequelae, most elderly patients' self-care ability declines, and some even have serious physiological dysfunction, which is very dependent on nursing work. The elderly need continuous care, such as preventive care outside the hospital, mental care and home care. Therefore, long-term care is necessary. Careful, patient and continuous care should be given to the health of the elderly at all ages and the sick elderly, so as to alleviate the suffering of the elderly due to illness and disability, shorten the period of dying dependence, and provide systematic nursing and social support for the last stage of life.

Question 5: What is the educational significance of health? What is the significance of community health education? Community health education is the main means for general practitioners to mobilize the community, and it is also the basic method to establish close contact with community residents and grade their health. Effective community health education can not only achieve good social benefits, but also achieve good economic benefits by guiding community residents to establish a correct concept of healthy consumption. It is a health service project with small investment and large income. The reasons why community health education can't get the response and recognition of community residents may be as follows: ① The content of health education is not targeted, not what community residents expect to know, and the understanding of residents' needs is not deep and specific enough; ② The contents of health education are not popular enough, and there are too many terms, so residents can't understand or understand, can't remember, can't feel from the heart, and can't motivate residents to change their ideas and behaviors; ③ The methods and forms of health education are too mechanical, not vivid enough, and only stay in theoretical explanation, lacking persuasiveness and appeal. ④ The residents' participation is too little, and they are not really aware of the benefits of participating in health education activities; ⑤ General practitioners have not received special training in health education, including success, motivation, public speaking, popular science writing, communication and marketing. To do a good job in health education, we must first innovate the knowledge system, make it popular, operational and physical, have good eloquence, persuasion and communication skills, understand the subjective needs of community residents for health education, analyze its universality, importance, urgency, intervention, acceptability and effectiveness, and rank the health education needs. Finally, according to the order of needs and demands, the problems (diseases) that need to be given priority in health education and their corresponding risk factors or reasons that can be intervened are listed.

Question 6: The significance of community health education. Community health service is a comprehensive and continuous health care service, serving families and communities and providing residents with six in one! Health care services. With the arrival of China's aging society and the improvement of living standards of urban and rural residents, the development of community health services is to meet the growing health needs of the people and is a concentrated expression of the implementation of various tasks of primary health care. Focusing on the goal of building a healthy community, health education and health promotion intervene in the health-related behaviors and lifestyles of the whole community. It is not only suitable for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases, but also suitable for the improvement of community ecology and social environment, which can not only promote the utilization of community medical and health care resources by community residents.

Question 7: The concept of health "health education" I. The definition of health education

Health education is a planned, organized and evaluated systematic intervention activity with the premise of investigation and research, the main means of spreading health information, the purpose of improving the health-related behaviors of subjects, and the ultimate goal of preventing diseases, promoting health and improving the original quality of life.

Second, the definition of health promotion

The World Health Organization (WH0) defines health promotion as the process of promoting people to maintain and improve their own health, and the strategy of coordinating human beings and the environment, which stipulates the respective responsibilities of individuals and society for health.

Three. Research field of health education
