Volume : I, Issue : II, March - 2011 Health Consciousness among Tribal and Rural Population Shailaja Bhangale Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Health is defined as the condition of our
body especially whether or not we are ill.
Consciousness means the knowledge or
understanding that something exists or is
important. Health consciousness refers to
individual's comprehensive orientations towards
health, rather than issue-specific orientations (e.g.
smoking, weight control) . Health consciousness
is a important aspect related to social
psychological and educational issues. Five
components of health consciousness have
consistently appeared in studies over the previous
two decades, which are (1) integration of health
behavior, (2) attention to one's health, (3) health
information seeking and usage, (4) personal
health responsibility, and (5) health motivation. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Shailaja Bhangale, (2011). Health Consciousness among Tribal and Rural Population.
