Introduction
Health promotion involves enabling control over the health condition of the individual. Health
promotion includes improvement process and individual behaviour to develop the social and
environmental intervention for the individual (Bartels et al., 2015). The essay will focus on to
research the health promotion for the individual. It includes the health assessment scenario for
Amber, Patrick, Thomas and John. The case study on Amber identifies the issues regarding
health promotion to focus on isolating the suitable promotional framework and effective
intervention process. Amber is suffering from obesity and she was lonely and isolated from her
husband in the country. The essay will follow health promotion and framework to develop for
obesity control for Amber. Health promotion for Amber and her family will focus on and
identify the causes and reasons to develop the current intervention process for her and the family
in respective necessity on health. It will be effective to provide ambiguous development as
developing an agenda for the future.
Discussion
As per WHO, international conference on health promotion focuses and identifies the global
principles for launching among national and international government. Health promotion covers
the intervention process through developing government framework and accelerating the
utilising the government policies to get a potential impact for developing health promotion. Risk
of obesity and socioeconomic status includes the particular dietary acculturation for ensuring
growth and identification of obesity. According to Lavie et al.(2018), obesity includes the
medical consequences with developing medical consequences to lowering the body mass index
(BMI). BMI includes the identification to identify the overweight and obesity control for
identifying the best approaches for preventing the condition. It includes the specific activity and
intervention process by identifying the causes and reasons to identify the reasons and a risk
factor for controlling and developing health promotion (Lee et al., 2016).
The obesity epidemic focuses to identify the and healthy eating in a variety of to collaborate
supports of settings. It is needed to use a variety of settings and different efforts in early
childhood care, different efforts in obesity control. As per the case study, Amber was suffering
from obesity as it affects in physical as well as mental effects to establish a positive health
promotion campaign. Her husband, Patrick is long distance driver and he was not living at home
most of times. It is found that Amber needs to develop and establish the effective and positive
3

health promotion campaign to establish healthy living. In the context of diabetes framework, it is
clear to estimate the status and potential disease risk. Assessing weight, healthy weight, physical
activity basics, physical fitness, and a healthy diet help individual to develop and establish the
balancing the weight by maintaining diet chart daily (Lobstein et al., 2015). Cultural norms and
risk influencing is focused to develop the experience to design the development in order to
associate the consideration to ensure socio-economic participation in developing. Strengthening
the policy-making framework is important to focus and develop the implementation towards the
regulation in health promotion to refer to boosting the alcohol, tobacco and other additive
products. Increasing the forces and urbanisation are considered as enforcing the community-
based outcome and appropriate health services towards affected (Ogden et al., 2015). Health
literacy, healthy cities, health-promoting campaigns include the health promotion ad healthier
development in establishing the WHO and health promotion campaign to engage the educational
establishment and healthy settings. Cultural norms and risk in obesity involves the association
disseminated worldwide to include in developing countries. It is needed for poverty and ill health
intervention to develop clear development, which is used to associate with risks of obesity for the
individual (Bartels et al., 2015).
Screening in the assessment of overweight includes the growth to establish the population-based
outcome and presentation beyond the reflection of health promotion (Kobel et al., 2017). It is
needed to evaluate the experiences over representing growth development and practice. It is
needed to extend the screening process as establishing screening and assessment of obesity. As
per WHO guidelines, it is found that screening and assessment for obesity is based on reflecting
the population developed in alternate measurement. BMI is maintained to reflect the body fat to
affect screening process in the context of appropriate intervention (Bartels et al., 2015). There is
screening process for every 2 years using fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test for individual to
develop and measure the risk factor of obesity. Measuring Body Mass Index, it is important to
maintain a healthy weight by getting regular physical activity, which can combat obesity for the
individual (Carey et al., 2018). Amber needs healthy living assessment by developing regular
screening support and healthy eating to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which was lacking in her
daily life. Short-term dietary changes and healthy eating are confirmed to estimate with status
and disease risk factor for Amber.

In the context of Patrick, he was smoking much more than the usual, as it seems the sign of
hypertension. Patrick needs food in low salt and high potassium for lowering the blood pressure.
As he was unable to search jobs near his home and he cannot able to look after his family, he
was very de-motivated and feeling low and thus hypertension arises. Healthy lifestyle will help
Patrick to lower blood pressure on the risk of heart disease and stroke. Health Promotion for
Patrick needs eating healthy diet, getting physical activity, maintaining healthy weight, not
smoking, limiting the alcohol and others. According to Merai (2016), low sodium and high
potassium rich food can help lower their blood pressure. Physical activity helps to maintain
healthy weight and lowering the blood pressure to recommend the moderate intensity exercise
including brisk walking or cycling and others. Smoking reduces blood pressure and increases the
rate of heart attack on stroke. Avoiding drinking is important to maintain healthy diet and
lifestyle for individual. Drinking raises the intensity of blood pressure (Eng et al., 2016). Blood
pressure raises causes of kidney problems, heart failure, eye problems, heart attack and others.
Checking the blood pressure in regular way is important to promote the intervention process for
the individual. Patrick needs regular blood pressure check up with healthy diet and exercise for
applying health promotion for him. Health promotion for hypertension includes the healthy
eating and getting physical activity to ensure the healthy lifestyle for the individual (Sharma,
2016). It helps to keep the blood pressure in healthy range by lowering the heart disease and
stroke. Patrick should focus on his health wherever he gets time. He can enjoy with his family
and it can help both Amber and Patrick to overcome their health problem.
Psychological intervention and physical activity should be maintained and controlled to develop
the physical and mental development (Carey et al., 2018). As per the current scenario of Patrick,
it is important to maintain the blood pressure, which is the primary necessary for him to avoid
the risks for high blood pressure. Regular check up and relaxing is important for Patrick, which
needs to include as per health promotions measurement within assessment criteria. As per
Health Belief Model, Patrick can be guided for the health promotion for hypertension disease.
Health belief model is theoretical model to belief about health condition to predict the individual
about the health related behaviours by defining the factors, which influence health behaviours
about disease or sickness (Salazar et al., 2015). Health belief model for Patrick and Amber can
be applied to adopt the components, which need assessment to determine the risk level and
involvement for highlighting the benefits for action. Providing assessment and communication to
5

target population needs to involve in action and highlighting the benefit to reduce the various
steps for action (Lavie et al.2018). Demonstrating actions for skill development activities is
needed to identify hypertension, obesity, and the prevention programs for the diseases. Applying
social cognitive theory can influence the individual experiences which actions on individual
health behaviours (Pratt et al., 2016). Social cognitive theory is important to influence the
experiences of environmental factors for individual health behaviours through reinforcing the
active behavioural changes on individual. Social support through self-efficacy, behavioural
capabilities, self control and observational learning are important so that the individual can
develop the program related to health disease (Merai, 2016). Social cognitive theory is
implemented in community-based intervention to reduce the risk of hypertension, obesity and
other diseases, which can be provided by applying the health promotion theory.
In the context of Thomas, he was suffering from slight hearing loss due to episode of otitis
media from his young age. She consulted with an ENT specialist and the specialist advises
Amber, Thomas's mother to discuss with nursery school and health visitor so that he she can help
Thomas for developing his potentiality. Thomas can get help across the lifespan to include the
proper medication and treatment process for slight hearing loss. He can be better with developing
proper treatment and evidence-based intervention program to check the attitudes, beliefs,
behaviours to prevent the noise induced hearing loss in protecting ears and developing proper
medication process. By implementing the social cognitive theory, Thomas can implement a
healthy relationship with his parents and family, which helps to develop skill-building exercise
and increasing the independence, which influence the healthy behaviours of him. Observational
learning and self-control can be related to change in individual behaviour that helped Thomas to
gain his potential with the help of his nursery school and health visitor. Health Promotion for
hearing loss as an episode of otitis media have prevention for noise induced and mitigation
approach for effective population-based preventive interventions. As opined by Edelman et al.
(2017), evidence based intervention program for noise induced hearing loss have strategies to
prevent the developing for youth and adapting for civilian adults to demonstrate in randomised
trials among people in worldwide. It is important to demonstrate and deliver the post delivery
attitudes and intention related to hearing loss and prevention expansion screw promote best
practices for hearing loss.

John, Amber’s father, is a widower and he was notice as forgetful in recent times. In the context
of John, it was found that John get lost while shopping and he was suffering from chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease recently. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a
chronic disease for referring to lung bronchitis and emphysema, which make hard to breathe.
Health Promotion for John needs the analysis of bronchitis and lung diseases. In context of
COPD, it needs to gain advice from healthcare provider and the gain weight to maintain proper
medicines regularly by the healthcare practitioners. Taking medicine properly, exercising
regularly, eating healthy foods and water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and pacing oneself are
the intervention for COPD. John can focus on daily excise and medicines provided by health
practitioners. Theory of reasoned action suggests a person's health behaviour, which is
determined by intention for performing behaviour. A person's intention can be performed by
predicting person's attitude and subjective norms in that condition (Edelman et al., 2017).
Applying this health promotion theory, John can implement the goal of the program to decrease
the consumption of unhealthy diet and modifying the attitudes and beliefs as a guide for
developing the situation.
Conclusion
The essay on health promotion is focused to promote the individual health and wellbeing as per
the assessment scenario. It can be concluded that supporting individual with appropriate
theoretical perspective and supporting the plan with the health promotion theories are discussed
with enhancing and influencing the individual health. The study is focused on health promotion
plan by exploring the themes on individual health scenario of Amber, Patrick, Thomas and John.
The case studies are focused with obesity, hypertension hearing loss and COPD have been
focused with developing a health promotion plan to contribute in the context of developing
individual health and well-being condition. Appropriate theories on achieving the intervention
process for each case scenario is focused in the essay by influencing the intervention process and
program. Health promotion in the context of case studies is designed by including proper
intervention process.
