Abstract

This study explored the management of health challenges practitioners in the Nigerian media entertainment sub-sector. The study adopted systems dynamics conceptual approach, exploring extant literature on challenges related to personal health management and building a suggested model for improving identified personal health challenges among practitioners in the Nigerian entertainment sub-sector. Part of the findings was the need for government intervention in the broad restructuring of the Nigerian health service system for harmonisation and operational stability, through operational capacity building for resilient health service delivery. The study reflected on the adoption of system dynamics concept, highlighting its usefulness to the current study in providing a means to learn about the personal health management in context of the study. Part of the recommendations is for further research to view the topic from other sectors' perspectives and consider using a mixed-method approach that can enhance further learning about personal health management in Nigeria.
