Defining Health
The way health is defined has shifted from a focus on the curative model, to a focus on multidimensional aspects such as the social, cultural, and environmental facets of life and health (Benson, 1996)
Health is viewed not only as an important goal, but as a resource for living (WHO, 1986)
