There have been concerns about the decline of health promotion as a practice and discipline and, alongside this, calls for a clearer articulation of health promotion research and what, if anything, makes it distinct. This discussion paper, based on a review of the literature, the authors' own experiences in the field, and a workshop delivered by two of the authors at the 8th Nordic Health Promotion Conference, seeks to state the reasons why health promotion research is distinctive. While by no means exhaustive, the paper suggests four distinctive features. The paper hopes to be a catalyst to enable health promotion researchers to be explicit in their practice and to begin the process of developing an agreed set of research principles.
人们担心健康促进作为一种实践和学科正在衰落,与此同时,也有人呼吁更清晰地阐述健康促进研究以及使其与众不同的因素(如果有的话)。本讨论文件基于文献综述、作者在该领域的自身经验以及两位作者在第八届北欧健康促进会议上举办的一次研讨会,试图阐述健康促进研究具有独特性的原因。虽然绝非详尽无遗,但该文件提出了四个独特特征。本文希望成为一种催化剂,使健康促进研究人员在实践中更加明确,并开启制定一套商定的研究原则的进程。
