Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to examine and describe the relationships among health status, marital status, income level, education level, age, and body mass index (BMI) with the added influence of spirituality on the health promotion behaviors of African American women, living in South Florida. The sample consisted of 137 women, 18 to 64 years of age, who were born in the United States and whose parents were born in the United States. Each participant completed a demographic questionnaire, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), the Short Form636 Health survey (SF-36), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). Descriptive and inferential statistics with an alpha level of .05 were used for data analysis. Statistically significant findings were (1) a positive relationship between health promotion behaviors and formal education, (2) a positive relationship between health promotion behaviors and spirituality (existential well-being), and (3) a negative relationship between health promotion behaviors and number of children. In the regression model, the five sets of variables together accounted for 25.5% of the variance in overall health promotion behaviors of African American women F (15, 121) = 2.768, p

This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where are the fields of prevention and health promotion for women headed? This valuable book illuminates the need for-and the gains that can be achieved by-targeting prevention/health promotion programs toward minority and low-income women in the communities where they live. Reflecting the rise of women’s health issues to a national priority in the last decade, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium explores the individual and contextual factors-biological, sociocultural, economic, and environmental-that affect the quality and length of women’s lives. It examines current research on disease prevention and the need for health promotion, particularly with minority and hard-to-reach women, and suggests directions for future investigation. Rather than generalizing or pontificating, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium looks up close at specific studies designed to answer questions such as: What kinds of health promotion programs could make the biggest difference in the lives of Native American women, today and tomorrow? How effective are cancer education/support programs for rural women, and what can be done to improve their efficacy? How does sexual orientation influence women’s patterns of health-related behavior? How can female substance abusers lessen the distress issues that often bring on risky behavior? How can we more effectively reach African-American women, who are twice as likely as Caucasian women to develop diabetes, hypertension, and stroke? Well referenced and complete with user-friendly tables that make the statistics of each study easy to work with, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium brings you an incisive look at issues that will become prevention priorities in the near future.

Download or read book An Exploration of the Relationships Between Health Promoting Behaviors and Stroke in African Americans written by Lenecia Ashley Ross and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stroke is the leading cause of death in the United States. African Americans present a risk for first time stroke which is twice as high as Caucasians. Literature has shown the primary cause of increased incidence of stroke in African Americans is racial disparities related to health promotion among African Americans. This descriptive correlational study investigated the relationships in health promotion behaviors and stroke in African American men and women. Utilizing the Health Promotion Model as the theoretical framework, current health promoting behaviors and practices related to stroke were examined in a convenience sample of 24 African American men and women located at a church in the Southeastern United States. Stroke risks and health promotion were measured by Sullivan's Cerebrovascular Attitudes and Beliefs Scale-Revised. The goal is to increase awareness of stroke risk factors and promote healthy behaviors in African Americans to decrease mortality and racial disparity from stroke. The results of this study may increase healthcare professionals' knowledge and awareness of the importance of exploring health promotion behaviors related to stroke among African Americans.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Book Synopsis Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile of Low-Income African American Women During Interconception by : Deborah Darlene Roebuck

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American women are the most at risk population for poor perinatal birth outcomes in United States. To eliminate these ethnic and racial perinatal disparities, The United States Department of Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) adopted the Life Course Perspective conceptual framework (Fine & Kotelchuck, 2010). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implemented these life course preconception care interventions and policies to improve birth outcomes and maternal health and well-being across women's, especially poor women's, lifespans (Lu & Halfron, 2003). Pender's revised Health Promotion Model supports the framework by adding a nursing explanation of how an individual can improve their own health promoting lifestyles (Gillis, 1993). In particular, the nursing model has an accompanying tool titled the Health Promotion Lifestyle Profiles II (Walker, Sechrist, & Pender, 1995) that measures an individual's characteristics and health promotion behaviors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to utilize the Health Promotion Model and Health Promotion Lifestyle Profiles II to examine the health-promoting behaviors of low-income African American women of reproductive age during the interconception period to better understand and ultimately improve poor women's perinatal birth outcomes. Objectives: The aim of this study is to utilize the Health Promotion Model and Health Promotion Lifestyle Profiles II to examine the health-promoting behaviors of low-income African American women of reproductive age during the interconception period. Patients and Methods: This descriptive quantitative pilot study was carried out on a sample of 52 women of child bearing (18 - 44 years of age) in WIC offices in three low-income locations in the city of Philadelphia. The participants were a convenience sample. The scale for health 10 promotion lifestyle was Walker's Health Promoting lifestyle Profile (HPLP II), which encompasses six healthy lifestyle dimensions. Results: The data collection tools used in the study was 1. Maternal Demographic Information Sheet, 2. Interconception Individual Characteristics and Experiences Questionnaire and 3. Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II). The results obtained from the study showed that total HPLP II scores indicated that survey participants 'sometimes' to 'often' engaged in health promoting behaviors. The highest scores were obtained on the spiritual growth dimension and the lowest scores on the physical activity dimension.

Book Synopsis Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life by : National Research Council
Download or read book Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the population of older Americans grows, it is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Differences in health by racial and ethnic status could be increasingly consequential for health policy and programs. Such differences are not simply a matter of education or ability to pay for health care. For instance, Asian Americans and Hispanics appear to be in better health, on a number of indicators, than White Americans, despite, on average, lower socioeconomic status. The reasons are complex, including possible roles for such factors as selective migration, risk behaviors, exposure to various stressors, patient attitudes, and geographic variation in health care. This volume, produced by a multidisciplinary panel, considers such possible explanations for racial and ethnic health differentials within an integrated framework. It provides a concise summary of available research and lays out a research agenda to address the many uncertainties in current knowledge. It recommends, for instance, looking at health differentials across the life course and deciphering the links between factors presumably producing differentials and biopsychosocial mechanisms that lead to impaired health.
