Yaşam Boyu Sağlıklı Yaşam ve İyilik Hali

Öz

Yaşam boyu her alanda sağlıklı olabilmek ve iyilik halini sürdürebilmek bireylerin doğrudan kontrollerinde olmayan, aileden getirilen kalıtsal etmenler, hava kirliliği gibi çevresel etmenler ve yetersiz sağlık sistemi gibi sistemik etmenler nedeniyle her zaman olası ya da kolay olmayabilir. Öte yandan bireyler sağlıklı yaşam alışkanlıkları ile pek çok hastalığı önleyebilmektedir. İyilik halinin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi olarak tanımlandığı dikkate alındığında bunu sağlayan davranışların neler olduğu önem kazanmaktadır. Bu davranışlar, yeterli ve dengeli beslenme alışkanlıklarına sahip olma, stresi iyi yönetebilme, düzenli fiziksel etkinlik yapma, spiritüel büyümeyi destekleyici etkinlikler yapma, kişilerarası ilişkileri canlı tutma ve bu konularda sorumluluk alma olarak özetlenmektedir. Bu makalede yaşam boyu gelişim dikkate alınarak çocukluk/gençlik, beliren yetişkinlik ve yetişkinlik/ileri yaştaki yetişkinlik dönemlerindeki bireylerin iyilik hallerine yönelik yapılan çalışmalar özetlenmiştir. Ayrıca her dönem için tüm ruh sağlığı profesyonellerin yapabileceklerine ilişkin bazı öneriler sunulmuştur.
