This article was prepared to inform the deliberations of the Galway Consensus Conference by providing a common and global reference point for the discussion of terminology and key conceptual and professional issues in the credentialing of health education and health promotion specialists. The article provides a review of the terminology that is currently employed across different countries in defining health education and health promotion as well as health educator and health promotion specialist. The terminology used to describe concepts in professional credentialing of health education and health promotion specialists and the scope of professional responsibilities of such specialists, including the terms professional competencies, professional standards, and accreditation, are also reviewed. Finally, key unresolved issues are identified and discussed from a global perspective. The article concludes that despite differences in terminology in the definitions of roles and responsibilities, health education and health promotion are conceptually more similar than different across countries.
本文旨在通过为健康教育和健康促进专家资质认证中的术语、关键概念及专业问题的讨论提供一个通用的全球参考点，为戈尔韦共识会议的审议提供信息。本文回顾了不同国家目前在定义健康教育、健康促进以及健康教育工作者和健康促进专家时所使用的术语。还回顾了用于描述健康教育和健康促进专家专业资质认证中的概念以及此类专家的专业职责范围的术语，包括专业能力、专业标准和认证等术语。最后，从全球视角识别并讨论了关键的未解决问题。本文得出结论，尽管在角色和职责定义的术语上存在差异，但各国在概念上，健康教育和健康促进的相似性大于差异性。
