At first glance you might think that health and education only interact in public and political debates that usually occur in times of elections and are no more related, but the truth is that beyond being a politically hackneyed theme, health and relationship education to provide better quality of life for individuals in society, and the nurse will explain Carmen Herrera, who currently is responsible for conducting preventive education in the commune of El Bosque:
-Carmen, based on your knowledge in the area of \u200b\u200bpublic health, is there any relationship between formal education, school, and quality of life that people lead?
If, however, there is a strong relationship between what schooling and quality of life, it is easy to notice, just take a while working in different sectors of society to realize the differences that exist within our society, for example, I had the opportunity to work in different districts of Metropolitan Region and I can tell you that no matter what people say, in all communities there is a certain percentage of people without education, even in neighborhoods more "affluent" and it shows, not a question of aesthetics or resources, but rather in the attitude people have toward the health and lifestyle they are also noticeable in the communication that develops between the patient and doctor or nurse in this case, usually when we find people with an education them incomplete reaction of a more negatively to the comments or indications that one gives them, so anyway there is a direct relationship between what is education and health.
- What a story book or maybe you could give us to better visualize the relationship?
Wow, there certainly is much to tell, perhaps most important is on the "social determinants of health" which are attached to measurable factors involved health or affect the quality of life patients, some of these determinants are, for example: environment, work, age and sex, and education course, then I can give them a role that is quite interesting on education as a determinant in the quality of health is an inquiry set up by WHO. Perhaps the most critical and raw data of how education influences the lives of people is the relationship between years of life of infants versus years of schooling of the mother, the younger years of schooling of the mother under the life expectancy of the infant, a very worrying issue in which there has been much emphasis and certainly could do a great job of integrating school health service.
-also talks about the different reactions that take patients to the medical guidelines that they receive and how are you vary by level of education, explain a little more.
Look, here I am doing personally educational talks to young mothers and adults with diabetes, we could say that the 2 groups are most in need today in the municipality of El Bosque and really the attitude of people is amazing, here you can see which diabetic legs have been amputated and all for a matter of lack of awareness, it is quite frustrating to see patients one does not take into account the recommendations given and finally a ignore all the treatment, in the case of young mothers is a little different, is very noticeable plus the difference between careless mothers and mothers worried, concerned mothers usually come from troubled families, ie learning that parenting style directly from their parents, and instead the careless mother or who have more trouble raising their children come families in which no cases of alcoholism, drug abuse or family violence. The ways in which patients react always depend on the level of education of these, and one as a nurse educator should seek the best way to make these people understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, depending on the disease or problem we are facing.
-think people value education and health as key tools to improve their quality of life.
Unfortunately I think it is quite common to see women who come to review and bringing the child when it should be in school, if you ask them why they do this will tell you the child did not go to school why not wanted, or because it is the grandmother and wanted to care for, and cases like that is possible to observe every day, children not attending school, and even worse then when I have to do development reports of children, many have very low rates of motivation why not go to preschool education is the instance where more motivate and integrate the school system later, and the difference between children who attend preschool education and that there is no evidence in plain view, just say hello and see her reaction to see whether children have been in contact with other adults outside their families is quite sad to see how people do not take advantage of the opportunities given them to improve their lives, and worst of all, it a circle which is very difficult to intervene, and for sure these children do not go to school when parents are not sending their children to be educated, and certainly does not follow the directions and follow medical and caught without meeting the challenges we as a society.
Thanks Carmen, has been a very interesting talk and hope that our readers can generate their own conclusions after reading.
