Abstract |
My dissertation deals with "Aims and strategies in health work", focusing on the perspective of salutogenesis and promotive health work. The theoretical frame of reference discusses a.o. health from a historical and cultural perspective, a survey of health and metatheoretical perspective of health. The first definition dealt with the concept of health and the choice of perspectives. The second definition is concerned with choice of arena. I willconcentrate on the perspective of organizations and enterprises since these lend themselves well to promotive health work. The empirical part is devided into two substudies. The first one evaluates a one-year health promotion project in the enterprise NCC. This study pictures a traditional way of working with health promotion in a enterprise. The second study aims at creating an image of what is ment by health in the workplace and is done in combination with a project in Vara municipality. The background is a pilot project - "Project Vedum" carried out 1992-1993, where the aim was to collect experience of how to work in the best possible way with development of work. |
