Theoretical Approaches
- qpplicable to different levels of community
- OPEN SYSTEM - anything in the environment has an effect on them.
GENERAL SYSTEMS THEORY
GST:
Resources taken from its environment
Input
GST
Material products, energy, and info that results from the family’s processing of inputs
Outputs
GST:
Information from the environment directed back to the system
Health teaching to push them to resolve the problem
Feedback
interact to accomplish their own purpose and purpose for which the system exists
- to be able to establish good relationships
Subsystems
A bigger system composed of families whi interrelate with and affect one another.
- outside/surroundings/ environment where the family is
Suprasystem
THEORETICAL APPROACHES
- Learn based on observing their health practices
- Learn by imitating and modeling/interactions
- Return demonstrations
SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY
