OBJECTIVES: The current review aims to help develop a comprehensive health toolkit to better capture an individual¡¯s health status from the holistic perspective.
METHODS: This study examined previous health tools measuring an individual¡¯s health status. A review of literature was conducted to identify limitations of prior measures.
RESULTS: The concept of health consciousness was introduced and proposed to be in a basket of health toolkit. As it refers to an individual¡¯s psychological tendency toward one¡¯s health and inner state of paying attention to one¡¯s health, the health consciousness concept shows a potency of predicting a variety of health-related perceptions, attitudes and behaviors.
CONCLUSIONS: During the COVID-19 era and hereafter, avoiding health risks and maintaining a good health condition have become recognized as an important personal and social agenda. Responding to this previously unknown disease, people in the globe had a chance to contemplate the meaning and value of health and to monitor one¡¯s health condition continuously. Therefore, it will be necessary and useful to include the health consciousness concept and its underlying dimensions (i.e., health awareness, health responsibility, and health motivation) in developing a future health toolkit.
