Four Stages in Health Communication

Introduction Health communication is one of the powerful tools for promoting or improving health by educating the public about health issues and making important health issues a public agenda. Publicly releasing useful health information using masses, multimedia, and other innovations will increase awareness of the individual and group health specific aspects and the importance of health in development. The fourth stage of health communication includes planning, development, implementation, and evaluation.

The community medical stage is the final stage. It began in 1970 and currently exists. It is difficult to distinguish between the public health stage and the community medical stage. These two terms are very similar and can be used interchangeably. Regional health refers to all nurses working in the community. They do not necessarily focus on public health practices such as health promotion and prevention. Community health nurses work at elderly centers, community health clinics, clinics, schools and workplaces. They started working with many other health professionals, such as doctors, physical therapists, social workers, nutritionists, and so on. Regional medicine has made remarkable progress over the past century (Allender & Spradley, 2005).

The regional medical field has developed into four different phases. Early home care dates back to the mid-19th century. At this stage, care and religion are closely related. Religious groups will take on the roles and responsibilities of people taking care of health care. The first care form was Charity Sisters of 1617. They are religious organizations composed mainly of nuns. The main focus of these women is to aim for care and poor people. They want to help people who are ill but can not receive proper care. They visit patients at home and provide the necessary treatment. Regional medicine was put on hold after Charity Nun was successfully grasped. The recession was due to religious reform and industrial revolution. These historical events resulted in a decrease in religious groups and an increase in infectious diseases.

The research program for studying the charity department is divided into four stages. Part 1 will review the involvement of communities in detail, in particular the existing literature on health. The second phase includes four case studies on recent consultation by department. Department staff were invited to present examples of consultations they participated and they formed "best practices" in their view. As a result of extensive discussion on the standards of such labels, four were chosen. Because they are due to various ways, problem areas, and various departments of that department. Participants of the initial consultation supported the analysis of each case. In order to gather information, we have implemented a focus group that reflects discussion processes and aspects that tend to promote or impede effective participation.
