MULTIPLE CHOICE

 

  1. What is the focus of the definition of health in the Ottawa Charter on Health Promotion?
a. Health is an outcome.
b. Enjoying life is more important than the need to maintain one’s health.
c. Health is incorporated into one’s activities of daily living.
d. Health is a way to maintain a stable environment.

 

 

ANS:  C

The perspective taken in this text is based on the Ottawa Charter definition of health: “to reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment.” Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) identified health as a resource for everyday living, i.e., taking a holistic approach that includes physical, social, and personal capabilities, with health being viewed positively. When using this definition, health is no longer viewed as an outcome (or a state to be reached); rather, health is incorporated into one’s activities of daily living. Today, Health Canada continues to apply the Ottawa Charter definition of health. The view of health as a resource proposes that communities and individuals use this resource to manage and even change their environments.

  1. What is the basis for the difference between health promotion and health protection?
a. The assurance of the highest possible quality in care
b. The motivation to change behaviour
c. Delivery of care by a group of health care providers
d. The achievements of social marketing campaigns

 

 

ANS:  B

Pender et al. (2002) differentiate between health promotion and health protection on the basis of motivation for behaviour change. These authors describe health promotion as the motivation to change behaviour in order to enhance well-being and reach one’s optimal health potential. In contrast, the motivation for health protection is to avoid disease, to screen for early detection, and to restore health following illness.
