1. Salutogenesis Model

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Focus on health: The approach asks "What keeps people healthy?" rather than "What makes people sick?", emphasizing the factors that promote and sustain health.
  • HEDE continuum: Health and disease are not opposites but points on a continuous scale; individuals move along this scale dynamically, never being entirely healthy or ill (see section 2).
  • Sense of coherence: Antonovsky (1987): The confidence that life is understandable, manageable, and meaningful. A stronger sense of coherence enhances stress coping ability and promotes health.
  • Resistance resources: Personal "life jackets" such as stable psyche, good social support, knowledge, or money, which help individuals manage stress and maintain health (see section 4).
