Applying Salutogenesis in Healthcare Settings

Abstract

The chapters of Part VI demonstrate for different services of health or disease care that applying the salutogenic orientation, the salutogenic model and the concept, and instrument of the sense of coherence (SOC) has the potential to improve the health-promoting quality of structures, processes, and outcomes of these services for enhancing health gain and well-being of different stakeholders. There already exists impressive research-based evidence for this, but also quite a potential for further more systematic and complex research.
