The salutogenic model as a theory to guide health promotion1
2The late Dr Antonovsky was Professor Emeritus of the Sociology of Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Beersheba, Israel This paper provides a critical look at the challenges facing the field of health promotion. Pointing to the persistence of the disease orientation and the limits of risk factor approaches for conceptualizing and conducting research on health, the salutogenic orientation is presented as a more viable paradigm for health promotion research and practice. The Sense of Coherence framework is offered as a useful theory for taking a salutogenic approach to health research.
Key words: health promotion; salutogenic model; theory
