Document Summary
A state of well-being with satisfaction of physical, cultural, psychosocial, economic, and spiritual needs, not simply the absence of illness: definition overlooks the psychological, cultural, and economic aspects of health. The word is derived from old high german and anglo-saxon words meaning whole, hale, and holy. Need satisfaction: necessary for health and well-being; the attainment of physical health, agency, and autonomy; the satisfaction of all physical, cultural, psychosocial, economic, and spiritual needs. The satisfaction of three basic needs physical health, autonomy of agency, and critical autonomy are necessary to achieve the avoidance of serious harm as a universal goal in all cultures. Self-determination theory suggested three basic needs: competence, relatedness, autonomy. Attachment style has shown to influence life satisfaction and a gamut of health related behaviours including alcohol abuse, drug abuse, smoking, insomnia, accidental injury, trauma, grief, chronic illness, and responses to natural disasters.
