INTRODUCTION

Health care services traditionally have been provided on a fee for service basis whereby the patients receive specific services and pay the provider for them directly. As the costs of health care continue to rise, methods will be sought to ease costs either by legislation or by the development of a variety of funding approaches.

Health for all by the year 2000 A.D is the goal of WHO. However in a developing country like India, the oral health status of the population still remains very poor. As the costs of dental care continuous to rise, the majority of the people cannot afford dental treatment, especially when it is being provided on a fee for service basis.

INTRODUCTION

     The word education is derived from the latin word “educare” and “educere” which means to bring out and to lead. Health education is the process of imparting information about health in such a way that the recipient is motivated to use that information for the protection or advancement of his own,his family’s or his community’s health.

Health education is an active learning process,which aims at favorably changing attitudes and influencing behavior with respect to health practices.

DEFINITION

The national conference on preventive medicine in USA defines health education as “Health education is a process that informes,motivates and helps people to adopt and maintain healthy practices and lifestyles,advocates environmental changes as needed to facilitate this goal and conducts professional training and research to the same end”

OBJECTIVES

1.    Informing the people (cognitive objective)

People are informed about the different diseases, their etiology and how to prevent them. Information increases knowledge and helps people become aware of their health problems and this helps in preventing diseases and promoting health.

2.    Motivating people (affective objective)

 It is concerned with clarifying, forming or changing attitudes, beliefs, values or opinions. The mere presence of information does not improve health. After proper health information is given, it is necessary to motivate them to alter their lifestyles so that it becomes favorable to promoting health and preventing disease. Motivation has been defined as “a combination of forces which initiate, direct and sustain behaviors”.

3.    Guiding in to action ( behavioral objective)

It is concerned with the development of skills and action. A person  who has obtained health information might be motivated to change his behavior  and lifestyle. However he might need professional help and guidance so as to bring about these changes and to sustain these altered lifestyles.

The final goal of any health education program is to make realistic improvements in the basic quality of life.
