(B) the object of community health education
Community health education should be geared to all residents in the community. The key groups of community health education are women, children and adolescents, the elderly, the disabled and service workers. When developing community health education, in order to make the content of health education more targeted, community residents can be divided into four categories.
1. Healthy people generally account for the largest proportion in the community, including people of all ages. They may lack the need for health education the most. For this group of people, health education mainly focuses on health care knowledge. Its purpose is to help maintain a good lifestyle and health, so as to prevent and diagnose diseases at an early stage and stay away from diseases.
2. High-risk groups The so-called high-risk groups mainly refer to people who are still healthy but have some pathogenic biological factors or bad behaviors and living habits. Some people in this group show excessive fear and anxiety about the disease; Some people don't agree with their bad behavior or living habits. For this group of people, health education should focus on preventive health education. So as to help them master some self-care skills, or help them consciously correct bad behaviors and living habits and actively eliminate hidden dangers.
3. Patients patients include patients with various acute and chronic diseases. These people can be divided into four categories according to the stages of their diseases, namely, clinical patients, convalescent patients, disabled patients and dying patients. Generally speaking, patients in clinical stage, convalescence stage and disability stage are interested in health education, and they are all eager to get rid of the disease and restore health at an early date to varying degrees. Therefore, for these three types of patients, health education should focus on the education of rehabilitation knowledge, helping them actively cooperate with treatment and consciously carry out rehabilitation exercises, thus reducing disability and accelerating rehabilitation. The essence of health education for terminally ill patients is death education, and its purpose is to help patients face death correctly, so as to reduce their fear of death and spend the last stage of their lives as easily as possible.
4. The family members and caregivers of patients have the longest contact with patients, and some of them are often physically and mentally exhausted or even bored because of long-term care. Therefore, it is very necessary to give them health education. For this group of people, health education should focus on the education of disease knowledge, self-monitoring skills and home care skills. Its purpose is: on the one hand, to improve their understanding of the importance of home care and strengthen their belief in continuous treatment and nursing; Guide them to master the basic skills of home care, so as to care for patients scientifically. On the other hand, guide them to master the knowledge and skills of self-care, so as to take care of patients while maintaining and promoting their physical and mental health.
