Perspectives on Salutogenesis of Scholars Writing in Spanish

Abstract

In the last few years, the influence of salutogenesis has been growing, both in the area of research and in the public health and health promotion strategies and policies, in Spain and in Latin America.

The scientific literature on salutogenesis that has been published in Spanish since 2000 is reviewed, out of which 58 scientific articles, five books, and eight doctoral theses have been identified. The publications focus on health-related professional groups, patient groups, population groups, public health, and studies related to health promotion and education.

The Salutogenesis Spanish Group is a network of professionals who are interested in this subject, who work to exchange experiences and to promote salutogenesis research and development within our contexts
