The implementation of health promotion: A new structural perspective

Health Policy Perception and Health Behaviours: A Multilevel Analysis and Implications for Public Health Psychology

“…To prevent such jeopardy, and in line with the widely acknowledged need to integrate scientific and professional disciplines in order to grasp the multidimensional nature of health behaviours (Abel, 1991) and health promotion (Rütten, 1995), the recently emerging field of public health psychology (Diekstra, 1990;Ewart, 1991;Hepworth, this issue;Schmidt, 1994;Tanabe, 1982;von Lengerke, 2001;Wardle, 2000) may overcome criticisms of public health as focusing too much on social technology (Leviton, 1996) and health psychology as suffering from individualistic bias (Marks, 1996). By linking, among other things, health policy (as a classic public health issue) to health behaviours (so far a realm of health psychology), and doing so within multilevel approaches, it might ultimately contribute to bridging the gap between health psychology and public health.…”

Educational needs of families caring for Chinese patients with schizophrenia

“…Of the educational needs considered most important, those that were least met related to psychological and social aspects for both patients and family members, such as patients’‘loss of pleasure’, ‘social isolation, avoidance or withdrawal’, and relatives’‘managing burnout’ and ‘alternative living situations’. Because health professionals often focus on physical treatment and care, the psychosocial needs of psychiatric patients and their families may go unmet (Rutten 1995). Some highly ranked unmet needs were considered relatively unimportant by family caregivers in the study.…”

An assessment of the patients’ needs in Mental Health Education

“…However, the important unmet needs mainly comprised of psychological and social aspects of patient education, such as ‘social isolation, avoidance or withdrawal’ and ‘lack of interest and motivation’. As health professionals often focus on physical treatment and drug compliance inpatient education, the psychosocial needs of psychiatric patients might be sometimes unmet (Rutten 1995). A holistic view of health and human needs by the professionals should be emphasized inpatient education.…”
