QUESTION 2 (Read textbk pgs18-20) 1. Analyse the implications of whos definitions of health.
2.How do yu think that the wellness continuum differs from the definition of health given
by the World Health Organization?
1WHO(SN) WeCD- WUsPHI PASSicSyD -deFH
2WHO-ConsFInGH-MaPHD WImpOOH PromESO ConEnSuGH / WeC- Dont FacCont2HIC
i) WHO (describes health as a state of social, mental, physical wellbeing, & not just a state of
absence of disease or infirmity); whereas the wellness-continuum defines wellbeing using
the physical health as an indicator - presence or absence of signs of sickness, symptoms
or disability, as a deciding factor of health.
ii) WHO considers factors that influence good health like making positive healthy decisions which
also impact own & others health, & promoting environments & society overall which would be
conducive to enhancing & sustaining good health, whereas Wellness continuum does not take
factors contributing 2health into consideration, e.g. making positive health decisions.
Pg 2
iii) 3WHOD: SsHeNI PAsHNoVIs SHeDo-DOOPWel AlPHInAAD2><0 The WHO definition stresses
health, & not illness. Definition states physical aspect of health should not b viewed in
isolation since health doesnt depend only on physical well-being, although a persons
physical health, can influence all aspects of development 2greater or lesser degree0.

these imbalances.
HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS
Accessibility of care health care; availability of primary health services; de existence of a
national health policy; & influence of traditional medicine affects a persons health to a
greater or lesser degree.
As a result of past inequalities in provision of health care systems, millions of disadvantaged
S. Africans (especialy childrn &those livng in rural areas) hav been without adequat health care.
DEVELOPMENT,
Poverty and low socio-economic status caused by single-parent families, teenage parents,
unemployment, lack of education, rapid urbanisation and similar factors may also affect the
health of the child.
The is a long term undertaken by the
The report back of the initial Birth to Twenty Study Research Project (BTT) findings stated that
one of the most important factors influencing a childs health is the level of education of the
childs mother; - each additional year of schooling for a woman is associated with a 5-10%
decrease in the under-five child mortality rate
The BTT study found the following to be true:
o women with higher levels of education make better use of antenatal & postnatal services;
o their children have higher rates of immunisation;
o their children are better nourished when compared to children of mothers with lower
education levels;
o educated women have fewer children.
o These findings correlate with research in other parts of the world which show that the
education of females is linked to a lower infant mortality rate, a lower birth rate and
improved child nutrition
# Thus, it shows many of the factors which damage peoples health are beyond their control.
You will probably be able to name other factors which affect the health of a child.
Make a mind map of all these factors in the space below.
Factors affecting the health of a child
Activities should be appropriate to age, culture & developmental level of the learner.
Activities should provide for a holistic approach.
Activities should provide opportunity for learners to make choices.
Activities should promote positive choices.
Activities should be flexible.
Activities should be action-orientated (i.e. are learners able to explore & interact).
There could be a variety of different activities.
A variety of different presentation methods could be used.
The learning experience should impart both knowledge & health-related skills & attitudes.
It should teach through two or more senses.
It should be economical in terms of time and cost.
CHRONIC ILLNESSES
Are more difficult to pinpoint than communicable diseases.
Encompass a wide variety of disorders frm cancer, diabetes, heart disease to backache
tooth decay, but
1. DISCUSS THE WAYS IN WHICH THE TEACHER CAN SUPPORT THE FAMIL OF A
CHILD WHO IS SUFFERING FROM A CHRONIC ILLNESS.
The teacher must be able to provide sympathetic and suitable support to both the learner
and his/her family:
Teacher should support both the child and parents with regards to learners needs for
medication during school hours, extra rest periods, specific toileting needs, absences
from school, extra help with school work, embarrassment about physical appearance etc.
Maintain confidential information written parental permission is required to divulge any
information to other staff.
Modify the school programme for learner with chronic illness such as additional resting
time or dietary adaptations.
Teacher should be aware of the effects of any medication which could cause changes in
learners behaviour such as hyperactivity/drowsiness.
Teacher should determine from the parents, the learners own understanding and knowledge
of his/her illness
Teacher must ensure that the school and classroom environment makes allowances for the
childs specific chronic illness such as: sufficient space for wheelchair users; level of
specific allergens (chalk dust, pet hair, pollen) should be eliminated if there are asthmatic
or allergic children in the class.
Teacher should be able to cope with any specific health emergencies related to a specific
chronic illness such as: asthma attack or hypoglycaemia due to low blood sugar levels in
a diabetic learner.
CHILD ABUSE
Question 1.
2. HOW WOULD YOU IDENTIFY AN ABUSED CHILD AT SCHOOL?
The teacher must be able to recognise all they physical and behavioural symptoms with indicate
abuse such as: AABCCDDHUW
Teacher attention seeking behaviour
Frequent late/absent from school
Major changes in behaviour such as: aggressive; anxious; withdrawn
Chronically tired falls asleep at school/lacking energy
Frequently complains of pain
Dresses inappropriately for weather conditions arriving to school in winter without
shoes/jersey
Arrives unclean/dirty to school
Frequently hungry
Unhappy seldom smiles/laughs
Identification of the abused child = teacher must be able to recognise all the
physical and behavioural symptoms which indicate abuse.
Identification of the abusive parent = teacher must be on the lookout for
behavioural characteristics of a parent which could indicate that their child was at risk
of abuse.
Written records = teacher should keep written records of all observations regarding
suspected and/or suspected abuse.
Reporting of child abuse = teacher must report suspicions to the principal as well
as to the social worker, medical doctor/nurse or police officer so that a proper

5. DISCUSS THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER IN THE CARE AND SUPPORT OF
LEARNERS WHO ARE INFECTED OR AFFECTED BY HIV/AIDS.
The teacher should consider EVERYONE as potentially HIV-infected & take ff. precautions:
Keep all sores/cuts on our hands covered with a waterproof plaster.
Do not share items which may become contaminated with blood such as: toothbrushes
Take universal precautions when treating any bleeding wound or dealing with any bloodcontaminated body fluids or articles
Disinfect all spills of blodd or blood-stained body fluids with 1:10 solution
Always handle blood-contaminated clothes/cloths with gloves and soak these items in the
bleach solution before washing it with hot water & soap.
Always put up a notice, warning parents and staff about any chickenpox or other
communicable disease outbreak in the school, as persons with a low immunity are
particulary sensitive to some infections.
Teacher should not discriminate against any person because of his/her HIV status.

SWELWoM: POSITIVE
S: pawhl(proper, waste disposal; hygiene; little chance) Safe & sanitary environment: proper drainage &
sewer systems in place, with weekly municipal Solid & liquid waste disposal services,
environmental conditions are hygienic, with little chance of disease festering from impurities
W: panf(provision, access; no xtra p; facilitate) Water supplies: municipal water supply facilitate
access & provide clean, filtered water for drinking & other usages, & has no need to be further
purified, & facilitates hygienelectric no fuel; accic chores like bathing, cleaning, washing dirty
clothing etc.
E: each(electric-no fuel; access; cooking; heat) Electricity: access to electricity facilitates provision of
energy needed for cooking, & heat, hence no need to use unhealthy fuels like coal, wood which
when burnt emit unhealthy fumes which are harmful to health of infants & children & can even
cause carbon monoxide poisoning & death; provides instant healthy heat in cold weather with
no chance of carbon monoxide poisoning.
L: oss(overcrowdedness & effects; solid structure) Living Conditions: Solidly structured homes are
less susceptible to buckle under severe weather conditions & are much safer & provide
protection against cold, rain & other elements. As such, there is no need to deal with getting
wet & sick through exposure etc. as is experienced by homeless or those living in inadequate
shelter & accommodation . Also overcrowding is unhealthy as circulation of oxygen becomes
insufficient & more carbon dioxide is breathed in the confines of the room.
Wo: pobcc/p fawl(poor control; bio& chemi contam; pollute food, air, water, land) Working Place: Poor
control of working environments in formal & indormal sector resulted in chemical & biological
contamination of land, air, water & food, causing widespread pollution.
M: idtmcaep(investing+diag+treat+monit+control=aces eff Hprof) Quality medical & dental care access:
health problems & sickness can be investigated, diagnosed, & treated promptly, or monitored
& controlled by well trained & efficient health professionals whenever necessary.
The ff. NEGATIVE factors can contribute to disease, disability and death in SA:
-lack of sewers, drains or services to dispose of solid & liquid wastes
-lack of safe & sufficient water supplies
-overcrowded and inadequate living conditions
-insufficient safe & clean fuels for domestic cooking and heating unhealthy fuels are used, such
as coal/paraffin & wood which cause pollution & health problems for children.

P(premahipd fofric-clesedebehab tred) Previously maintenance of health, health instruction, &
prevention of disease were the function of family, religious institutions & community, but due to
rapid changes in lifestyle, environmental & societal evolution, & deterioration of beliefs &
habits, a transfer of responsibility has occurred to educational institutions where most of
childs time spent, hence making Health Education an imperative endeavour in schools.
A(Aca; IDPM; EINT-DHRIFFTS) The general aim of Health ED & safety is to create awareness, invoke
disease prevention measures, educate, inform & teach children about how to deal efficiently
with the many health-related, & safety issues faced by them & their families in todays society.
C(Chinaptoc-Vahb)This century has recognised that today childrens health is highly influencd by
attitudes of peers, teachers and others in the comunity, values, & health behaviours.
E:EEDP Early start to health education assists the cause of disease prevention,.
CK(combat)especially chronic disease which may most probably affect children later on in their
lives; & combat the possibility of onslaught by killer diseases like types of cancer which
researchers believe also arise through exposure to unhealthy environmental influences &
lifestyles & behaviour, & thus may strike anytime in a childs life.
sP(hpcshers) Safety education protects health & promotes child safety, by informing youngsters
about how to avoid hazards &handle emergency risky situations wen they arise.
Inc(increasing) Nowadays, increasing no. of childrn r forcd 2fend 4themselvs without adult suprvision after school since both parents are working, making health & safety ED imperative.

a) THE 3 LEVELS OF LOCUS OF CONTROL pg.19
*INTERNAL locus of control = believe in their own ability to affect their health.
*POWERFUL-OTHER locus of control = believe that their health is under the control of someone
other than themselves.
*CHANCE locus of control = believe that luck/fate determines their health status.
b) 3 LEVELS OF DISEASE PREVENTION ACTIVITIES
* PRIMARY Prevention choosing actions that are most likely to prevent a health problem from
occurring at all.
* SECONDARY Prevention early identification & treatment of a health problem either to stop it from
getting worse or reversing it entirely through awareness of symptoms
& when to seek medical care.
* TERTIARY Prevention action taken to contain or minimise irreversible damage to health, or
(15)
Pg 31
*SOCIAL STANDARDS
Expectations, standards, peer group influence, & school settings change at different levels
of development creating confusion about acceptable social standards
*CHANGING VALUES
When an adults value system is not understood by children, they have a perception that
adults dont care for what children value, & this creates confusion & strife.
*COMPETITION WITH PEERS, & OTHERS
Children want to feel special, be liked, and accepted by their peers & parents etc., & they
would often feel pressured into doing things they may not feel comfortable with, just to
fit in & feel accepted or special. This demand & compromise very often causes stress
d) STRESS IN SCHOOL:
*School adjustment
Youngsters beginning or attending school for first time, have a fear for the unknown, or find the
routine too annoying & restrictive, or the separation from mum for such lengthened period
unacceptable; hence such negative perceptions generate much stress. Also older children
entering a new school may find it difficult to make new friends, and the new environment is
seen as fearful & challenging, thus creating much stress. Prevalent violence in schools also
creates fear to attend school, which becomes a stress
*Subject stress
Different learners hav diferent aptitudes in diferent fields, & so may find certain learnng areas
Children should be taught that some parts of their bodies are private; e.g. parts of the
body covered by a swimming costume.
They need to know -nobody has the right to touch or see those areas, except parents or
a health professional helping with / conducting a medical examination.
Children should also know that no one has the right to ask them to touch or see these
parts on another persons body.
Children should be helped to identify & differentiate btwn different types of touching:
-
Good touches eg: hugs/kisses which make children feel positive about themselves
Bad touches eg: hitting, prolonged/excessiv tickling or touches 2private body areas
Children must also know about Stranger danger as well as that bad touches may
come from somebody they know.
They should know who they can go to if something is bothering them eg: like a
parent/teacher.
(10)
Intermediate Phase
1. There will be no discrimination against any learner or educator who has HIV/AIDS.
2. Teachers should be alert to unfair accusations against any person suspected to have HIV/AIDS, and this will
be dealt with accordingly.
3. Learners, educators and other staff who have HIV/AIDS will be treated fairly and humanely, in a just, and
life-affirming way.
4. Any special measures in respect of a pupil, teacher, the principal or support staff with HIV should be fair and
justifiable in the light of medical facts, established legal rules and principles, ethical guidelines, the best
interest of the pupil, teacher or staff member with HIV/AIDS, the school and the best interest of other pupils
and teachers.
5. Special requirements of HIV/AIDS learners or educators will be accommodated by this school as far as
possible.
6. No appointment in an educational or any post by an HIV/AIDS educator may be declined.
7. No application for promotional posts by an HIV/AIDS educator may be declined.
8. The AIDS/HIV status of an educator may not be used as a reason for dismissal, continuation of service
contract or the renewing of a service contract.
9. The educator will not be treated unfairly.
10. It wont be expected from educators to undergo routine testing.
11. Staff attending to injured learners must wear surgical gloves at all times, but should skin be exposed
accidentally to blood , it should be washed immediately with soap & running water. Protective eyewear &
mask to cover nose and mouth will also be available.
