6. Significance of the Study

Health promotion is frequently linked to disease prevention. These are
vital activities that help a society maintain a well-functioning , long-lived
population. Health promoters believe that if we accept scientific opinion
regarding health and adopt specific health-enhancing practices , we will
become healthy. Promotion of desirable health may become increasingly
important as society acknowledges the rapidly rising cost of medical
technology. Many influential people are concerned about the economic
burden and are beginning to call for health promotion activities in schools
and workplace. It is noteworthy that the ounce of prevention philosophy
is increasingly espoused . There is greater willingness to accept the notion
that health promotion activities are worthwhile. This study, then, assumes to
have the following gains:
The findings can give the health planners and promoters a picture of
health on the school population as its health-enhancing practices and
attitudes are looked into and appraised. Results will give some insights that
will serve as basis in creating better strategies in the delivery of health
promotion activities in schools.
The study will provide some valuable information regarding healthrelated behaviors of individuals in schools and /or in the workplace. In
some way , the findings may serve as an eye opener of the personnel and
students who have been manifesting negative health behavior. Thus,
formulate some health behavior change activities for a satisfying and
healthful lifestyle.

is a broadly based term used to

describe a highly developed level
of health that encourages people
to achieve their human potential.
That, high-level wellness suggests
an optimistic way of looking at a
persons health that extends
beyond health measurements and
life span. It supports the concept
that a persons health should not
be judged primarily from a medical
or disease standpoint of reaching
or achieving
human potential.
Wellness is a process for the
continuous
self-renewal needed
for an exciting , creative , fulfilling
life; it is a concept that extends
beyond health promotion
and
disease prevention.
To achieve this human
potential,
wellness
experts
believe that individuals must take
responsibility for their
health
behavior. People must understand
that they have more control over
their health behavior than
they
might
think.
A wellness
perspective encourages people to
focus on the present and future
and not on the past, especially
when ones past includes negative
behavior. It reflects a persons
attitude
and his/her
unique
response to living.

The term empowerment has
been recognized and discussed
within the health
education
literature.
In the context
of
health , empowerment refers to a
process in which individuals or
groups of people gain increasing
measures
of control over their
health. To take control of health
matters, people or groups must
learn to liberate themselves
from a variety of barriers that tend
to restrict health enhancement,
including the complicated and
expensive health care system,
limited access to health care or
fitness facilities, the fear of
discovering
illness or serious
health condition, and the concern
that one might be viewed as a
health nut
When people empower
themselves to overcome these
barriers, they begin to take charge
of their lives, regardless
of the
current forces that discourage
positive
health
changes
.
Empowered people do not blame
individuals
or environmental
realities for health conditions but
focus on producing constructive
change through dialogue
and
collaboration.
Empowered programs have
produced
positive
health
consequences for individuals and
groups
that
have
been
traditionally
undeserved by the
health care system , such as the
economically disadvantaged, the
elderly and minority populations.
