What learners will learn

The module’s main learning competency is to demonstrate self-monitoring skills to prevent communicable diseases (H8DD-IIIf-h21).

After the module, learners are expected to:

identify life skills in improving health status;
relate the importance of self-monitoring habits to the prevention of communicable diseases;
design a health-related plan using life skills to promote a healthy lifestyle among teenagers.

Why self-monitoring matters in disease prevention

The lesson begins with a simple idea. A communicable disease threatens the sick person, and also their family and society. Protecting ourselves and our families from disease is a personal and a social responsibility.

The module defines self-monitoring as a personality trait: the ability to regulate your behavior to fit social situations. People who closely monitor themselves are called high self-monitors. They respond closely to social cues and their surroundings.

According to the module, self-monitoring:

motivates and maintains behavior change by building self-efficacy (confidence in your own ability), increasing awareness, and tracking progress;
helps people keep health-promoting behaviors, such as tracking what they eat;
supports problem-solving and making action plans.

Eight healthy habits that prevent disease

The heart of the lesson is a list of everyday habits:

Handle and prepare food safely. Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces often, especially with raw meat. Wash fruits and vegetables in flowing water. Cook and keep food at proper temperatures, and refrigerate it promptly. The module sums this up as clean, separate, cook, and chill.
Wash hands often with soap. Wash before and after using the bathroom, eating, cooking, treating a wound, being near a sick person, and putting on or removing a face mask. Also wash after coughing or sneezing, touching animals, handling garbage, or touching doorknobs and dirty items.
Clean and disinfect commonly used surfaces. Soap and water are usually enough. Disinfect the bathroom and kitchen regularly, and other areas when someone at home is ill.
Cough and sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve, not your hands. Throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands. Wear a face mask when you are sick with a cough or sneezing illness.
Don’t share personal items such as toothbrushes, razors, and towels. Needles should never be shared.
Get vaccinated, and keep your family’s vaccines up to date.
Avoid touching wild animals, which can carry germs. See a doctor if bitten, and keep pets vaccinated.
Stay home when sick so you recover sooner and do not spread germs.

How to wash and sanitize hands

With soap and water: wet hands and apply soap, rub for at least 20 seconds over all surfaces, rinse, then dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
With hand sanitizer: use it when soap and water are not available and hands do not look dirty. It must have at least 60% alcohol. Rub all surfaces until dry. If your hands dry in less than 10 seconds, you did not use enough.

Lesson 1 Self-Monitoring Skills: Developing Healthy Habits

Disease prevention and control is a very important health concern because it affects the quality of people’s life. Communicable disease not only threatens the sick person but also his/her family and the society in general. Thus, protecting ourselves and our families from diseases is both a personal and social responsibility.

Observe and analyze the figure below:

[illustration: six panels showing a person covering a face with a hand, a tissue box and roll, a person coughing into an elbow, a hand dropping a tissue into a trash bin, a person sneezing into a tissue, and hands being washed under a faucet]

Why is there a need to understand the importance of disease prevention and control?

It is time to take charge of your own health and that of others. To adopt a healthy lifestyle is quite challenging but sure it is worth to do.

What’s In

Directions: Determine the symptoms of COVID-19 based on your previous learning. Identify also the things we need to do to prevent acquiring the disease. Copy the table and write your response in your activity notebook.

Emerging and re-emerging Disease	Symptoms	Preventive Measures
COVID- 19	1. 2. 3.	1. 2. 3.

What’s New

Activity 1: Guilty or Not Guilty?

Directions: Read the following and put a check (/) mark in the appropriate box. Write your answers in your activity notebook.

	Guilty	Not Guilty
1. I sleep for 4-5 hours every night.
2. I feel stressed when someone sneezes near me.
3. I enjoy eating after a game without washing my hands.
4. I share personal items with my siblings or friends.
5. I visit my doctor when I get sick.

What do your responses say about how you monitor your health? Why do we need to monitor communicable diseases?

What is It

WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW?

Why do we need to monitor communicable diseases?

There are various limitations on the availability of health benefits; people’s health is largely determined by the extent to which individuals take responsibility for their own continued good health.

Self-monitoring is defined as a personality trait that refers to an ability to regulate behavior to accommodate social situations. People who closely monitor themselves are categorized as high self-monitors and often behave in a manner that is highly responsive to social cues and their situational context.

Self-monitoring motivates and maintains behavior change by promoting self-efficacy, increasing awareness, and monitoring progress. Self-monitoring has been used effectively to change dietary behaviors through use of food-tracking instruments

Patients need skills to manage their specific disease, maintain health-promoting behaviors, and use behavior change technology for problem-solving and creation of action plans. Specific skills for overcoming obstacles and challenges will vary depending on the individual person and their health status.

1) Handle & Prepare Food Safely

Food can carry germs. Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces often when preparing any food, especially raw meat. Always wash fruits and vegetables with flowing water. Cook and keep foods at proper temperatures. Don’t leave food out – refrigerate promptly.

[chart: four-panel food-safety diagram; labels: CLEAN, SEPARATE, COOK, CHILL]

2) Wash Hands Often with Soap

One of the most important healthy habits to prevent the spread of germs is to clean your hands. Our hands can carry germs, so it is important to wash them often, even if they don’t look dirty.

[photo: a person washing hands under a faucet]

When to wash your hands

Make sure to clean your hands before and after:

Using the bathroom or changing diapers
Eating
Cooking or serving food
Treating a cut or wound
Contact with a sick person
Putting on and removing protective equipment like a face mask

Clean your hands after these actions:

Coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose
Touching another person’s hands or touching an animal or pet
Handling garbage
Touching frequently touched areas (doorknobs) or contaminated items (dirty laundry or dishes).

How to Wash Hands with Soap and Water

Wet hands and apply soap.
Rub hands for at least 20 seconds. Scrub all surfaces.
Rinse hands.
Dry hands with a clean cloth or paper towel. If in a public place, use the paper towel to turn off the faucet. Then, throw in the trash.

How to Clean Hands with Hand Sanitizer

Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available and if your hands do not look dirty. To be effective, hand sanitizer must have at least 60% alcohol content.
Apply hand sanitizer to both hands.
Rub hands covering all surfaces until dry. If your hands dry before 10 seconds you did not use enough. Apply more and repeat.

*Although not as effective as washing one’s hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizer, pre-moistened cleansing towelettes with at least 60% alcohol content can be an alternative.

3) Clean & Disinfect Commonly Used Surfaces

Germs can live on surfaces. Cleaning with soap and water is usually enough. However, you should disinfect your bathroom and kitchen regularly. Disinfect other areas if someone in the house is ill. You can use a disinfectant or a bleach solution.

[photo: a person cleaning a window sill with a cloth and spray bottle]

4) Cough and Sneeze into a Tissue or Your Sleeve

If you are sick, the air that comes out of your mouth when you cough or sneeze may contain germs. Someone close by can breathe in your air, or touch a surface contaminated with your germs, and become ill. Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your shirt sleeve-not into your hands. Remember to throw away the tissue and wash your hands. You can wear a face mask when you are sick with a cough or sneezing illness.

[illustration: a girl coughing or sneezing into a tissue held over her face]

5) Don’t Share Personal Items

Avoid sharing personal items that can’t be disinfected, like toothbrushes and razors, or sharing towels between washes. Needles should never be shared, should only be used once, and then thrown away properly.

6) Get Vaccinated

Vaccines can prevent many infectious diseases. You should get some vaccinations in childhood, some as an adult, and some for special situations like pregnancy and travel. Make sure you and your family are up-to-date on your vaccinations.

[photo: a health worker giving an injection to a child]

7) Avoid Touching Wild Animals

You and your pets should avoid touching wild animals which can carry germs that cause infectious diseases. If you are bitten, talk to your doctor. Make sure that your pet’s vaccinations are up-to-date.

8) Stay Home When Sick

When you are sick, stay home and rest. You will get well sooner, and will not spread germs.
