Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy. Health promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviours and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities. Defined by the World Health Organization, health promotion is: “The process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.” Disease prevention differs from health promotion because it focuses on specific efforts aimed at reducing the development and severity of chronic diseases and other morbidities. Wellness is related to health promotion and disease prevention. Wellness is described as the attitudes and active decisions made by an individual that contribute to positive health behaviours and outcomes. Health promotion and disease Trang 1/4 - Mã đề thi 117

In the study of 15 countries, including the US, UK, Japan, India, Brazil, Argentina, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden, it was discovered that 41 percent of "highly mobile" employees (those who more often worked from home) considered themselves highly stressed as well, compared to only 25 percent of those who worked only on-site. This news may come as a shock to many people who may consider a work-from-home lifestyle to be one that's less stressful and marked with more personal freedom. Part of this stress experienced by those highly mobile workers may be due to the fact that those who work from home face a host of challenges that are unique to this particular setup. It is true that most people love the flexibility that comes with working from home: getting up and going to sleep at times that are dictated more by one's personal body clock and tastes can be wonderfully liberating. It can also get out of hand and feel stressful, however, to be free from the structure that once felt confining. Likewise with the freedom from dealing with obnoxious co-workers. While most people may enjoy having the freedom to choose who they interact with each day and love to avoid listening to office gossip, complaints, and politics, they may be surprised by the isolation they feel when their interactions aren't automatic and they need to put in an effort to see anyone at all. Many of these factors may balance each other out stress-wise, but the recent UN study suggests that the increased reliance on mobile devices may push the work-from-home crowd over the edge into higher- stress territory. These experiences may come as a surprise to someone who is new to working at home, but they are commonly experienced. They are also common sources of stress.
