Objectives ● Define what health and disease mean in the society of single parents ● Find resources and provide lone parents advice. ● Recognize the health issues and conditions in single- parent households. ● Recognize the ways in which sociocultural variables influence the attitudes and behaviors of single parents.
What identifies single parents A single parent household is one in which only one one parent provides for all of the materialistic, emotional, and financial needs of the child or children living there. ● According to research, The percentage of American children under 21 who are raised by divorced or single parents is about 27%. The following factors which include A divorce, separation, adoption, or deciding to bear a child even after the other partner has abandoned oneself can all result in single parenting¹. Social bias, time and money management, and taking care of oneself in all facets of wellbeing are the main issues encountered.
What distinguishes illness and health According to a book written by Rachel Spector, “Cultural Diversity in Health and Illness” - - Health, is defined as “the balance of the person, both withins one’s being- physical, spiritual, and mental- and in the outside world communal, natural, and metaphysical” (xi). - On the other hand, Illness is defined as, “the imbalance of a person, both within one’s being- physical, spiritual, and mental- and in the outside world- communal, natural, and metaphysical. As opposed to this, though, the general public views health as a person's state of being, and the word "healthy" refers to being in an improved condition of health. Being devoid of illness is regarded as "healthy," since illness is also defined as the state in which a person has a disease or illness, either physically or mentally.
