The Sense of Coherence in the Salutogenic Model of Health
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this section is to shortly describe the theoretical framework of salutogenesis with a special focus on the key concepts, the sense of coherence and the generalized and specific resistance resources. This chapter begins with reflection on the ontological and epistemological background of salutogenesis, which is not particularly described and explained to any significant extent in the publications by Antonovsky (1979, 1987). More recent research on this theme is scarce. Next, health as a process is described by starting from Antonovsky’s definition of salutogenesis as a movement toward the health end of a health continuum. The chapter ends with some evidence of how the sense of coherence impacts health and well-being.
