PDHPE RoSA Work Sample Nicky Year 11 PDHPE student work sample – Grade A Please note: The following work sample has been transcribed for readability. Spelling and grammatical errors have been retained to assist with grading. 1. Three health issues relevant to young people are obesity, injury and poisoning and mental health. Behaviours affecting obesity include poor dietary habits, for example eating fast food and take away regularly as well as being physically inactive. Protective factors to avoid obesity include regularly exercising, for example attending the gym three times a week, as well as eating a wide range of foods such as fruits and vegetables. Risk factors affecting injury and poisoning in young people include alcohol consumption, which can lead to unconsciousness if too much is drunk, and drink driving, which can lead to car crashes that can ultimately kill the young person. Protective behaviours for injury and poising include zero alcohol consumption to prevent any accidents as well as stop, revive survive which prevents car crashes if young people are driving for long periods of time. The their health issue, mental health has several risk factors such as isolation from friends, which can negatively affect the individual by the fact they don’t speak to people therefore they’re lonely, as well as alcohol consumption which can change a person’s mood and make them do things they wouldn’t normally do. Protective behaviours include having a close group of friends that you can talk to if anything is worrying the person, as well as completing regular physical activity to relax the mind and prevent stressing out. 2. The five dimensions of health: physical, social, spiritual, mental/emotional and cognitive/intellectual are all interrelated and affect each other. The definition of health is that the dimensions of health are to be dynamically balanced which means that although some may not be perfect, if the other aspects are good, it can balance the person’s health. All of the dimensions of health interact on a daily base as they are dynamic which mean they are constantly changing due to external factors. For example, a person’s health could change rapidly by being in a car crash. The person may had perfect health before with all aspects being balanced, but by being in a car crash they were all thrown off balance. The person may be physically injured which obviously affects their physical health. Thus I turn could make them feel sad and depressed which affects their mental health, leading to the person isolating themselves from others which negatively their social health. They could lose sight on their purpose or goals in life which they were trying to achieve due to their depressed state, which affects their spiritual aspect of health. Since they are withdrawn form society and have a negative outlook on life, their cognitive state is impacted as they may not care anymore, therefore they make poor judgments. This shows how from one outside factor i.e. the car crash, the individual has been physically, socially, spiritually, mentally and cognitively affected highlighting how all the dimensions of health are interacting. Another example is if a person had just been promoted to a higher job. This would increase their self esteem therefore Identifies relevant health issues affecting young people and is able to describe the risk and protective factors with relevant examples Demonstrates an extensive understanding of the changing nature of health and how this can be affected by the interaction of the different dimensions This example effectively communicates an extensive understanding of the interaction between a number of dimensions RoSA Work Sample Nicky improving their emotional and mental state. The promotion would also allow for a higher income which means they can afford to gout more and spend time with friends therefore their social dimension improves. This extra money could also pay for gym membership or healthier foods which allows the person to make healthier decisions, therefore positively impacting their physical health. This also shows how one external factor influences the dynamic nature of a person’s health and how the dimensions of health are all interrelated. An individual’s health can be negatively and positively determined by a range of individual and socio cultural factors individual factors include knowledge and skills, behavior and attitudes, and genetics. Sociocultural factors include family, peers, media, religion and culture and laws. These factors have a major impact on an individual’s health, and can determine how good it is. The knowledge and skills of an individual have a great influence on an individual’s health. Having good knowledge and skills allow for an individual to make decisions based on how to live a healthy life, for example, an individual who has been properly educated has the knowledge and skills to know how to stay health which involves looking at the five dimensions of health and making decisions such as eating good food, regularly exercising and spending time with friends. By making the correct decisions, an individual’s health can positively improve. The attitudes and behavior of an individual affect the person, as they’re outlook on health and the value they place on it determine how healthy they’ll be. For examples, if someone disregarded eating healthy foods and ate fast food and take away all the time, this bad behaviour to eating right will ultimately affect their health negatively. Genetics affects the health of an individual as it is a non-modifiable determinant . This means it can’t be changed, so if a person has a hereditary disease such as breast cancer in the family, they have a higher chance of being diagnosed with it. 3. The sociocultural focus can also affect how an individual’s health can be determined. Family has a major influence on an individual’s health as they raise the child and influence how to live. For example, a child that is brought up in a family that values health, will be influenced to grow up and value health as well, by partaking in physical activity, eating healthy food and spending downtime to reduce stress levels with family and friends. Peers also have a major influence on a person’s health. They influence an individual’s decision, especially with peer pressure which can negatively influence an individual. For example, if an individual attends a party with the mindset that they won’t drink any alcohol, their peers could persuade the individual to drink with peer pressure. This in turn negatively influences the individual to drink alcohol and impacts on their health. The media have a great influence on individuals as they portray information to individuals which influence their health. For example, the media in previous years portrayed the figure of beautiful as skinny, which falsely influenced young girls to lose weight and Extensive understanding of course concepts demonstrating both positive and negative impacts Thorough understanding of the impact that knowledge and skills can have on decision making Examples show extensive understanding of the implications of both factors Good use of examples to demonstrate negative impact Understanding of sociocultural factors demonstrated with a relevant and clear example. Information effectively communicated RoSA Work Sample Nicky become skinny. This meant they were becoming anorexia and bulimic due to negative portrayals of what is beautiful by the media. This is evidence that the media plays a massive part in determining the health of individuals. Finally the religious and culture of an individual plays an important role in influencing the health of an individual. Some rituals and beliefs of the culture may affect a person’s health, for example, some cultures believe that girls shouldn’t partake in sport. This influence on girls to not be physically active affects their physical health negatively which can impact on the other dimensions of health since they’re all related. Other cultures may encourage people to be active and play sport, which influences people to be active and live healthy. Finally, laws also influence the health of individuals. They are generally put in place to encourage healthy behaviours which therefore improve the health of individuals. For example, in NSW, the law states that PD/H/PE is mandatory for students in years 7 – 10. This enables young people to gain an education about health, which provides them with information to make decisions that can improve their health. All of the individual factors; knowledge and skills, attitudes and behaviours and genetics, along with the socio-cultural factors such as family, peers, media, religion and culture and laws, all play an important role in determining the health of an individual. They all have negative and positive influences which shape an individual’s health. Extensive knowledge and understanding demonstrated using a wide range of relevant health determinants in a variety of contexts Grade Commentary Nicky has demonstrated extensive knowledge of content and understanding of course concepts. She applies highly developed skills in critical thinking and perceptive analysis of the relationship between determinants and health. Nicky has communicated complex ideas and information effectively. Nicky’s work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at a grade A standard.
