WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF HEALTH EDUCATION

The scope of health is being broadened as the people are understanding its importance day by day.At first ,health education used to denote school,home and community,but now it is broadly taken.Scope of health education is described as follows.

I.SCOPE OF HEALTH EDUCATION ON SOCIO-CULTURAL VIEW:
on social and cultural point of view,scope of health education is taken to the place where people pass more time in group.Home,school and community come under it.

HOME:Home is considered as first school of a child.A child shares more and more experiences of health from here.He can learn many things about health from the behaviours of parents,brothers and sisters.A child learns many experiences from home like personal hygiene ,sanitation of room,timely eating,timely sleeping,responsibility towards family and other experiences.As the children learn many things from home,head of the household should bring the programmes which develops positive concepts of the family members towards health.We should also transfer the learning in order to improve the health of family and neighbour.

SCHOOL: School is an institution which provides the health experiences formally or informally.Clean school environment influences guardians or any other visitors of society .There are various examples of improvement of school environment due to the teacher's visit to any other school with better and healthy environment.We learn many health experiences from school like keeping the environment clean,playing in particular time,participation in sanitation campaign,utilizing the health services in schools,taking tiff in without making the surrounding dirty,keeping the classroom clean,etc.The students staying in healthy environment into school can also maintain the same healthy environment into school can also maintain the same environment in their home.We should identify our civilization and culture through proper sanitation of own school and home.

COMMUNITY:Another scope of health is community.Mass meeting,ceremony, Guthi,industries,and factories,praying groups,clubs,institutions,hospitals ,office,etc .come under community.These places are also the scope of health education because we can also learn health experiences from them.We can be directly benefited from such activity,There are various examples that community people are not properly getting locally available health services due to lack of knowledge,illiteracy.Therefore,we can also run various health activities in our community.We have to identify our ability for this. We can get memorable satisfaction with the achievement of the programme run our initiation.


II.SCOPE OF HEALTH EDUCATION ON INTERDISCIPLINARY POINT OF VIEW:

Health education is not complete itself and it is influenced by other subject like the influence of health education to other subjects.The subjects which are influenced by health education,also come under the scope of health education.Divert observation in learning motivation and learning processes are related to psychology.Misconception on health, tradition, value and norms,supervision,group dynamic come under sociology.Similarly medicine, anthropology, human biology, human science, population education, environment education,physical education can in any way provide some health related knowledge.Therefore,all those subjects come under scope of the health education.
