Question

List all the dimensions of health and explain the emotional and spiritual dimensions briefly.

Answer 1

The six dimensions of health are physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual and environmental. They are interrelated and together contribute to overall well-being.

• Emotional dimension: The ability to understand and manage feelings and to cope with, adjust to and adapt to one’s environment. Positive thinking, hope, enthusiasm and learning to handle setbacks support emotional health.
• Spiritual dimension: The sense of purpose and personal values or beliefs that help a person find meaning in life. A sense of purpose can help people pursue goals, maintain perspective and overcome adversity; shared spiritual practices may also support social well-being.
