NU 629 Week 1 Discussion 2: World Health Organization (WHO) and “Your” Definition of Health

Initial Post

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity” (World Health Organization, 2005). This 1946 historical definition of health remains pertinent to this day, and it helps to guide not only our perception of health but also that of illness. For this week’s discussion, you should review the WHO’s definition of health and do an online search to see how others perceive the concept of health, then create your own definition. Consider that there are individuals who have physical abnormalities but do not feel “ill,” and those with no physical changes who yet report feeling “less than well.” How might these two statements affect the overall balance or well-being of an individual and their outlook on their total health? What is the role of the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in terms of addressing the health of individuals and communities?

Include the following in your initial post:

  1. Discuss your own personal definition of health.
  2. How does your definition compare to the WHO’s definition of health?
  3. What do you see as the role of the APRN in addressing not only the health of individuals but that of the community?
  4. Include a minimum of three scholarly references.
