HEADLINE FINDINGS

Health Attitudes

Good Wellness Lack of Disease

Being Mature Having Inadequate Health

Health Services Indication Management

Tandrusti is designed to task these Wellness Attitudes

Health Awareness Distinction between wellness details and

wellness awareness

Awareness of individual wellness creating after analysis or risk of illness or sickness

The need for contextualised and appropriate wellness details and promotion

Accessing health Information Higher Literacy Level = better access wellness

details

Over 65s = poor access wellness information

GP main source and gatekeepers to other services

90% preferred ‘interactive’ wellness details to leaflets, books.

Disparity in perceived and actual healthiness of diet Knowing consuming healthily is quite good

Importance of consuming healthily is recognized but not practiced

Steady social move and education required to change prolonged habits

Food brands are very rarely followed by all groups questioned

Raising motivation and having positive role models Inspiration towards training with Tandrusti is high

Motivation towards cook was low

Lack of positive heroines and support

Being Healthy= Major changes and a Big Task, Tandrusti is designed to encourage students through a helpful health knowledge strategy

Dispelling subjective interpretations of recommended physical activity

No. of Tandrusti Students using services

Health Service Use Attention of solutions is quite inadequate, reducing

accessibility and result.

GP is the preferred service, fulfillment is quite high with GP but low with consultation system

Older Southern Oriental sufferers have low objectives from the services

‘Veterinary consultations’ if interaction is inadequate between wellness solutions and patient

Cultural Factors and Health Average details of personal health by Southeast Asian

women problem for large opinions like Census

‘Purdah’ (veiling) a barrier to popular training for Islamic women, Tandrusti provides a culturally appropriate service for this team. More young women coming ahead as a result.

Tandrusti has broken some social misunderstandings through mixed sex exercise sessions, snorkeling classes.

Mental Health Psychological and actual illness can be connected,

easier to talk about actual symptoms

Poor mental wellness = Social, emotional malfunction so negative to be shared outside family

Mental wellness services need to understand particulars of social standards and their impact on attitude and behaviour

Tandrusti’s Impact Decreased Blood stream Stress numbers in over 90% of

learners Improved Position, Balance and Versatility in learners Awareness of the effect of work out on the body Improved Self Confidence Emotional assistance and public media through arranged

exercise Motivation to increase health awareness Challenging public norms/stereotypes through combined

sex classes Exercise made fun and less task like has grown

participation Willingness to get involved in further group communication

activities

Tandrusti Activity Plan depending on findings Improving attention of suggested Strength and Regularity of actual

activity Physical Action beyond the Tandrusti class Raising attention of incorporated exercising (at home/work etc) Signposting to other health/education solutions (particularly

psychological health) Learner led actual activity Setting up Extra Classes/ equipment Provision and assessment of appropriate wellness
