美国健康教育专家Greene氏等(1984)指出:“健康教育和一般教育一样,关系到人们知识、态度和行为的改变。一般说来,它致力于引导人们养成有益于健康的行为,使之达到最佳的健康状态”。由此可见,健康教育是提高人们自我保健的意识和能力,使人们实行符合健康要求的生活方式,增进人们健康水平的一种重要途径。 Greene, et al. (1984), a specialist in health education in the United States, point out that “health education, like general education, has a bearing on changes in people’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, and in general it is committed to guiding people to develop wholesome behaviors that Reach the best state of health. ” Thus it can be seen that health education is an important way to improve people’s awareness and ability of self-care, make people practice life-style conforming to health requirements, and improve people’s health.
