The community health education is an important part of community health work. It teaches people to establish a healthy life style, to take advantage of health knowledge in order to keep a good way of diet, exercise and so on, and to take the effective measures to prevent and treat disease early. This article will share some problems and countermeasures in community health education work that I have faced.
Community patient has the seasonal characteristic because of the climate changes. Patients have difference in the cause of disease, health conditions and the prognosis. They are also quite different in sex, age, occupation, cultural custom and the expectation of the treatment. To grasp and deal with all these characteristics comprehensively, we need to establish the community health files in order to have more details of every patient. This kind of work is difficult, stressful and sometimes is not understood by the patients and their family members. Community health educators should fully take advantages of media and other tools to promote so that more people can have a basic understanding of it. And with the support and coordination of local government, this work will become easier.
The time for outpatients is usually short, so they often cannot obtain a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the disease they have. So it will be very necessary to give education especially to those patients who have epidemic and infectious disease. The content must be succinct, easy to understand and has the strength and persuasion.
Feedbacks from the patients are very important to community health education work. We can use all kinds of methods such as telephone, network system and face-to-face talking to communicate with patients in order to know their medication and recovery situation. Based on that, it will be easier for us to give further health education and psychological counseling in order to enhance the efficiency of the treatment.
The method of community health education is various, its ultimate objectives are--- to popularize basic health knowledge and to help people to establish a healthy behavior. Community health educators should take most persuasive and effective education methods and countermeasures to give patients both physiological and psychological health instructions.
What we are hoping is to establish a healthy and harmonious community.
