The Handbook of Salutogenesis
This open access book is a thorough update and expansion of the 2017 edition of The Handbook of Salutogenesis, responding to the rapidly growing salutogenesis research and application arena. Revised and updated from the first edition are background and historical chapters that trace the development of the salutogenic model of health and flesh out the central concepts, most notably generalized resistance resources and the sense of coherence that differentiate salutogenesis from pathogenesis. From there, experts describe a range of real-world applications within and outside health contexts. Many new chapters emphasize intervention research findings. Readers will find numerous practical example...
Toward Sustainable Transitions in Healthcare Systems
Health systems have long been considered key determinants of well-being within modern societies, a valuable resource which have faced a series of reform initiatives throughout the past decades. These reforms have been used to manage the cost of development, measure the tenability of health systems in globalizing economies and promote the increasing importance of health problems related to lifestyle and living conditions, yet they have failed to provide a true resolution to the persistent economical and logistical problems facing modern-day health systems. This rich, interdisciplinary work explores the hypothesis that many of these problems cannot be adequately addressed without structural ch...
Salutogenic organizations and change
New and current approaches to organizational health intervention research are the main focus of this comprehensive volume. Each chapter elaborates on the respective intervention researcher’s concept of a healthy organization, his/her approach to changing organizations, and how to research these interventions in organizations. As a common ground, the book consistently relates to the notion of salutogenesis, focusing on resources and positive outcomes of health-oriented organizational change processes. Out of the virtual dialogue between the chapters, common themes and potential trends for the future are identified.
Nature and Health
• The volume is multidisciplinary in its approach thus gaining insights from a number of perspectives • Each chapter is written by a subject expert from their respective fields • The book relates theory and evidence to relevant current and future policy and practice • This is the first volume that examines this new and emerging subject
Tourism, Health, Wellbeing and Protected Areas
Around the world, there is mounting evidence that parks and protected areas contribute to a healthy civil society, thus increasing the economic importance of cultural and nature-based tourism. Operating at the intersection of business and the environment, tourism can improve human health and wellbeing as well as serve as a catalyst for increasing appreciation and stewardship of the natural world. While the revenues from nature-based activities help to make the case for investing in park and protected area management; the impacts they have need to be carefully managed, so that visitors do not destroy the natural wonders that attracted them to a destination in the first place. This book features contributions from tourism and recreation researchers and practitioners exploring the relationship between tourism, hospitality, protected areas, livelihoods and both physical and emotional human wellbeing. The book includes sections focused on theory, policy and practice, and case studies, to inform and guide industry decisions to address real-world problems and proactively plan for a sustainable and healthy future.
The Handbook of Salutogenesis
This in-depth survey of salutogenesis shows the breadth and strengths of this innovative perspective on health promotion, health care, and wellness. Background and historical chapters trace the development of the salutogenic model of health, and flesh out the central concepts, most notably generalized resistance resources and the sense of coherence, that differentiate it from pathogenesis. From there, experts describe a range of real-world applications within and outside health contexts, from positive psychology to geriatrics, from small towns to corrections facilities, and from school and workplace to professional training. Perspectives from scholars publishing in languages other than Engli...
Changing families and their lifestyles
This volume comprises contributions from several fields of study in the social sciences. The different disciplinary angles intersect at the level of the research subjects: families, households and consumers. Together they reflect a broad field of study that always had its particular niche in Wageningen as ‘household and consumer studies’. The five separate parts: the formation and dissolution of families; stratification and inequality; consumer and household behaviour; leisure time; and hygiene, health and society, nicely reflect the broadness of this field. The eighteen contributions in this volume were purposefully selected, not only based on their contents and quality, but also because of their relationship to the work of Kees de Hoog, who retired this year. Although Kees de Hoog is a professor of family sociology and family policy, his work throughout the years has extended far beyond that and covers the fields that are captured by the different parts in this book. Therefore the contributions in this volume comprise an interesting read for scholars all over the world who have an interest in families, consumers, households, and the ways they interface.
The Handbook of Salutogenesis
We are salutogenesis friends working in health promotion, who banded together to accomplish what none of us alone could manage. Writing this handbook has brought the editors and the chapter authors closer together, discussing and debating every detail related to this complex project, with its 57 chapters and 88 authors. Several chapters address salutogenesis in the context of Coronavirus. Also, many of the book's authors have turned attention to salutogenesis research connected to the pandemic. As this book attests, salutogenesis scholarship is thriving in several disciplinary and transdisciplinary fields. This development would induce a broad smile and a high degree of satisfaction to the field's founding theoretician, Aaron Antonovsky (1923-1994).
Salutogenese kennen und verstehen
Salutogenese ist die Wissenschaft von den Bedingungen, die Gesundheit ermöglichen, aufrechterhalten und wiederherstellen. Im Unterschied zur Pathogenese, die sich mit Ursachen von Krankheit beschäftigt, fokussiert Salutogenese die Ursachen von Gesundheit. Als Teilgebiet der Gesundheitswissenschaften gründet Salutogenese auf einer empirisch validierten Theorie von Aaron Antonovsky und verfügt über eine mittlerweile 40-jährige weltweite Forschungstradition. Mit der globalen Arbeitsgruppe zur Salutogenese innerhalb der internationalen Gesellschaft für Gesundheitsförderung (IUHPE) hat sich das Wissensgebiet zu einem Schwerpunkt in Public Health entwickelt. In diesem Werk wird die Komplexität des vorhandenen Wissens zur Salutogenese in kurzen, gut illustrierten Kapiteln dargestellt, die für verschiedene Anspruchsgruppen anschlussfähig sind und einen kompakten Überblick zu den relevanten Themen Gesundheitspolitik, Lebensqualität, Gesundheitserziehung oder psychische Gesundheit geben. Eine kurze Einführung zu den Thesen des Begründers der Salutgenese, Aaron Antonovsky, sowie ein abschließendes Kapitel zum aktuellen deutsche Forschungsstand runden das Werk ab.
