Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I01:25

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
Concepts of Health and Illness01:29

Concepts of Health and Illness

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Health Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Workplace health promotion traditionally focuses on risk reduction.
  • Limited understanding exists on the integration of health-promoting resources (salutogenic principles) in these programs.
  • Key salutogenic principles include Sense of Coherence, Participation, Goal-Setting, Variability, and Empowerment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the operationalization of salutogenic principles in behavioral workplace health promotion programs for primary prevention.
  • To assess the extent to which these principles are incorporated into intervention design and delivery.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review of 128 intervention studies published between 2014 and 2024 was conducted.
  • Studies were systematically searched across five databases.
  • A Salutogenesis-Score (0-5) was used to evaluate the integration of salutogenic principles in each program.

Main Results:

  • The overall incorporation of salutogenic principles was moderate.
  • Empowerment, Variability, and Sense of Coherence were most frequently represented.
  • Participation and Goal-Setting were less frequently incorporated; tailored interventions and multi-component programs showed higher scores.

Conclusions:

  • Workplace health promotion programs show potential for activating salutogenic mechanisms but remain underutilized.
  • Strengthening participatory approaches and personalized goal-setting can enhance employee agency, adaptability, and long-term engagement.
  • Optimizing salutogenic principles can foster more sustainable and empowering workplace health initiatives.
