Discussion Response-Nursing
Sukhvir,
Thank you for sharing your post. The definition by WHO on what health is was supposed to provide a transformative vision of health but instead went beyond the prevailing negative health misconception based on the absence of illness. However, neither definition will be relevant in an era that is filled with a new understanding of disease at a societal, individual, and molecular level. Given what people now know regarding the significant influence that the genome has on disease, even the most positive-minded health advocate will have to agree that it is impossible to have a risk-free well-being.
That said, the social, psychological, and physical conjunction remains powerfully relevant even in the present day; this framework needs to be extended to two additional dimensions (Baum, 2016). The first dimension acknowledges that the health of humans is inseparable from the planetary biodiversity’s health. Human beings do not live in a vacuum; rather, we live in an interdependent existence with the living world’s totality. The second dimension is the inanimate realm, and the living world is dependent on the world of the inanimate. Thanks to climate change science, it has become clear that human well-being is dependent on the health of the energy exchange of the earth’s system.
Baum (2016) adds that science has made a great contribution to our understanding of human well-being through techniques that show the causal paths of ill health but also ameliorate evidence of the same. When scientists are humbler about the individual’s experiences instead of simply drawing reductive health status report cards, it opens up the possibility of a more realistic understanding of what it means to be healthy. The fact remains that it is not possible to be healthy in a society that s unhealthy.

Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO, 2021). Individuals’ perspective of defining the terms ‘health’ and ‘health problems” is substantial in understanding and corresponds with their ability to improve their health. People will take action to maintain their health based on their understanding of what health means to them. In addition to the individual’s understanding of health, the nursing implications play a crucial role in health improvement and outcomes. As APRNs, our responsibilities that impact health include advocating, educating, consulting, researching, and delivering quality health services, creating awareness among people, educating, and taking responsibility for their own health. The adaptive model of health piques my interest in the developmental approaches of individuals to their health. According to Edelman & Kudzma, “Adaptive model of health focus on people’s ability to adjust positively to social, mental, and physiological changes is the measure of their health” (2018). As a registered nurse, I see the influence of adaptiveness or maladaptive to change on my unit daily. Mental, cognitive, and physical dysfunction are barriers to the adaptation of change, therefore causing illness in health status. I had few encounters in my personal life where learning to function through change hindered my ability to walk correctly for some time in my life. As I look back on my journey accepting the different nursing implications and applying them properly would have impacted and improved my health. I cannot correct what I have done wrong, but I can and have adapted a healthy lifestyle moving forward in my life. My understanding of this model will allow me to be more cautious in my role to impact one’s state of health positively.
