Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • The static World Health Organization (WHO) definition of health from 1948 faces criticism for its perceived inflexibility.
  • A 2009 invitational conference introduced a dynamic health concept focusing on function, resilience, and self-direction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To operationalize the dynamic concept of health.
  • To explore the perspectives of Dutch healthcare stakeholders on the concept of health.
  • To develop a comprehensive understanding of 'positive health' based on patient and stakeholder input.

Main Methods:

  • Follow-up study involving Dutch healthcare stakeholder groups.
  • Qualitative analysis of differing opinions on the concept of health.
  • Integration of patient perceptions into the health model.

Main Results:

  • Identified significant differences in opinions among stakeholder groups regarding the concept of health.
  • Incorporated patient perspectives to refine the understanding of health.
  • Developed a broad concept of 'positive health' encompassing six distinct dimensions.

Conclusions:

  • The dynamic concept of health offers a more nuanced and adaptable framework compared to the traditional WHO definition.
  • The 'positive health' model, with its six dimensions, provides an operationalizable and patient-centered approach to understanding health.
  • Stakeholder engagement is crucial for developing and refining health concepts within healthcare systems.
