The Salutogenic Promotion Model For Training In Health

Lindstrom, Bengt, Md PhD Senior Lecturer

NHV Box 12133, 402 42 Goteborg Sweden

Since 1987 some training modules at NHV (Nordic School Of Public Health) have been using the theoretical framework of Antonovsky's salutogenesis. There has been a process of improvement over the years. The evaluation over these courses has been more positive than the NHV courses in general.

This presentation intends to present the core ideas of this educational model and exemplify this education in practice. Today this model is also used in the European Trading Consortium for Public Health (ETC-PH).

Health related community work-group in Vestfold. Multi-disciplinary co-operation for children and youth in local communities

Background

Municipal administrations have a strong tradition for disciplinary division of organisation. The 1995 local election started a substantial reorganisation process where many municipalities now create multi-disciplinary organisational entities. The demand for support in this process has made HE-naer initiate a project on multi-disciplinary work for children and youth.

Objective

The aim of the project is to increase the competence on this type of work within the municipalities, and to systematically collect data from this work through deep evaluation.

Method

The project has four elements:

  • A 10-points (equals 1/2 year) course done part time over 1 1/2 years for professionals sent by the municipalities

  • Multi-disciplinary groups within each municipality developing internal practices

  • Networks between professionals from different municipalities in the same region

  • A deep-evaluation conducted by us in one of the municipalities following the process

The approach will be action-research, and inspired by the network theory developed in industrial sociology.

The project starts in September 96.
