WELLNESS MODEL

-





Humanistic Model of Wellness 
  • A model created by Sharon Elayne Fair in 2002. 
  • It elevates and expand the definition of wellness. It is consists of the three dimensions of well-being as advanced by the WHO (physical, mental, and social) and recognizes the three domains of learning (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective), as supported in APTA’s A Normative Model of Physical Therapist Professional Education: 2004 Version. 
  • It recognised the importance of the cognitive knowledge of, the affective commitment to, and the psychomotor behaviours associated with the physical, mental, and social dimensions of wellness. 
  • The model also appreciates that wellness can be applied to oneself (i.e., the internal) and/or to another person (i.e., the external). 
  • A sub-dimension of one dimension of wellness can overlap the sub-dimension of another. 
  • As physical therapists, we can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction if we enhance one or more sub-dimensions and address the disease or medical condition that prompted the episode of care. 
SUB-DIMENSIONS:

The sub-dimensions of the physical dimension of wellness are diseases and medical conditions (that are not primarily mental in nature); drugs; nutrition; aerobic capacity; muscular fitness; flexibility; and body composition. 


The sub-dimensions of the mental aspect of wellness are diseases and conditions that are primarily mental in nature; intellectual stimulation; emotions; behavior-type pattern; locus of control; hardiness; stress; happiness; and purpose of life. 



The sub-dimensions of the social aspect of wellness are ethics, the family, the community, the environment, the provision of physical therapy, and occupational wellness.
