Common Irisk Ifactors: Iunhealthy Idiet, Iphysical Iinactivity, Iand Itobacco Iuse Childhood Irisk: IThere Iis Inow Iextensive Ievidence Ifrom Imany Icountries Ithat Iconditions Ibefore Ibirth Iand Iin Iearly Ichildhood Iinfluence Ihealth Iin Iadult Ilife. IFor Iexample, Ilow Ibirth Iweight Iis Inow Iknown Ito Ibe Iassociated Iwith Iincreased Irates Iof Ihigh Iblood Ipressure, IheartIdisease, Istroke Iand Idiabetes. Risk Iaccumulation: IAgeing Iis Ian Iimportant Imarker Iof Ithe Iaccumulation Iof Imodifiable Irisks Ifor Ichronic Idisease: Ithe Iimpact Iof Irisk Ifactors Iincreases Iover Ithe Ilife Icourse. Underlying Ideterminants: IThe Iunderlying Ideterminants Iof Ichronic Idiseases Iare Ia Ireflection Iof Ithe Imajor Iforces Idriving Isocial, Ieconomic Iand Icultural Ichange I– Iglobalization, Iurbanization, Ipopulation Iageing, Iand Ithe Igeneral Ipolicy Ienvironment.

IThe Ipoor Iare Imore Ivulnerable Ifor Iseveral Ireasons, Iincluding Igreater Iexposure Ito Irisks Iand Idecreased Iaccess Ito Ihealth Iservices. IPsychosocial Istress Ialso Iplays Ia Irole. Preventative Ihealth Iactions Iare Ioften Icategorized Iin Ithree Ilevels: • Primary Iprevention I- Iaims Ito Iprevent Idisease Ior Iinjury Ibefore Iit Iever Ioccurs. ▪ This Iis Idone Iby Ipreventing Iexposures Ito Ihazards Ithat Icause Idisease Ior Iinjury, Ialtering Iunhealthy IorIunsafe Ibehaviors Ithat Ican Ilead Ito Idisease Ior Iinjury, Iand Iincreasing Iresistance Ito Idisease Ior Iinjury should Iexposure Ioccur. ▪ Nurses Iplay Ithe Ipart Iof Ieducators Ithat Ioffer Iinformation Iand Icounseling Ito Icommunities IandIpopulations Ithat Iencourage Ipositive Ihealth Ibehaviors ▪ Examples Iinclude: • legislation Iand Ienforcement Ito Iban Ior Icontrol Ithe Iuse Iof Ihazardous Iproducts I(e.g. Iasbestos) Ior Ito Imandate Isafe Iand Ihealthy Ipractices I(e.g. Iuse Iof Iseatbelts Iand Ibike Ihelmets) • education Iabout Ihealthy Iand Isafe Ihabits I(e.g. Ieating Iwell, Iexercising Iregularly, InotIsmoking) • immunization Iagainst Iinfectious Idiseases. • Secondary Iprevention I- Iaims Ito Ireduce Ithe Iimpact Iof Ia Idisease Ior Iinjury Ithat Ihas Ialready Ioccurred ▪ This Iis Idone Iby Idetecting Iand Itreating Idisease Ior Iinjury Ias Isoon Ias Ipossible Ito Ihalt Ior Islow Iits Iprogress, Iencouraging Ipersonal Istrategies Ito Iprevent Ireinjury Ior Irecurrence, Iand Iimplementing programs Ito Ireturn Ipeople Ito Itheir Ioriginal Ihealth Iand Ifunction Ito Iprevent Ilong-term Iproblems. ▪ Nurses Iwork Iwith Ithese Ipatients Ito Ireduce Iand Imanage Icontrollable Irisks, Imodifying Ithe Iindividuals’ Ilifestyle Ichoices Iand Iusing Iearly Idetection Imethods Ito Icatch Idiseases Iin ItheirIbeginning Istages Iwhen Itreatment Imay Ibe Imore Ieffective. ▪ Examples Iinclude: • regular Iexams Iand Iscreening Itests Ito Idetect Idisease Iin Iits Iearliest Istages I(e.g.Imammograms Ito Idetect Ibreast Icancer) • daily, Ilow-dose Iaspirins Iand/or Idiet Iand Iexercise Iprograms Ito Iprevent Ifurther Iheart IattacksIor Istrokes • suitably Imodified Iwork Iso Iinjured Ior Iill Iworkers Ican Ireturn Isafely Ito Itheir Ijobs. • Tertiary Iprevention I- Iaims Ito Isoften Ithe Iimpact Iof Ian Iongoing Iillness Ior Iinjury Ithat Ihas Ilasting Ieffects ▪ This Iis Idone Iby Ihelping Ipeople Imanage Ilong-term, Ioften-complex Ihealth Iproblems Iand IinjuriesI(e.g. Ichronic Idiseases, Ipermanent Iimpairments) Iin Iorder Ito Iimprove Ias Imuch Ias Ipossible Itheir ability Ito Ifunction, Itheir Iquality Iof Ilife Iand Itheir Ilife Iexpectancy. ▪ Nurses Iare Itasked Iwith Ihelping Iindividuals Iexecute Ia Icare Iplan Iand Imake Iany Iadditional IbehaviorImodifications Inecessary Ito Iimprove Iconditions ▪ Examples Iinclude: • cardiac Ior Istroke Irehabilitation Iprograms, Ichronic Idisease Imanagement Iprograms I(e.g. IforIdiabetes, Iarthritis, Idepression, Ietc.) • support Igroups Ithat Iallow Imembers Ito Ishare Istrategies Ifor Iliving Iwell • vocational Irehabilitation Iprograms Ito Iretrain Iworkers Ifor Inew Ijobs Iwhen Ithey IhaveIrecovered Ias Imuch Ias Ipossible.
