This paper offers a presentation of the characteristics of self-determination theory (SDT) in the health context as well as attempts to identify how this theory could be useful for facing health innovation challenges. Health innovation is based on scientific advances that have more complex relationships with health. This paper encourages the use of the SDT approach to face health innovation, both for physiological and pathological processes. In particular, the focus is on the changes and lifestyle choices related to physiological pregnancy and birth and to oncological genetic tests in the Italian context. The health innovation paradigm focuses on patients taking responsibility for making important health-related choices, and we think that SDT can offer new stimuli in light of the changes implemented from innovations in the field of health. The aim is that this manuscript will stimulate researchers to test the potential of this theory in the field of changing health-related processes. Practitioners are called upon to revise their orientation toward patients and, according to SDT, they should support autonomy rather than control the promotion of health-related change.
本文介绍了自我决定理论（SDT）在健康领域的特点，并试图确定该理论如何有助于应对健康创新挑战。健康创新基于与健康有着更复杂关系的科学进步。本文鼓励运用自我决定理论方法来应对健康创新，无论是针对生理过程还是病理过程。特别是，重点关注意大利背景下与生理妊娠和分娩以及肿瘤基因检测相关的变化和生活方式选择。健康创新范式强调患者要对做出重要的健康相关选择负责，我们认为，鉴于健康领域创新带来的变化，自我决定理论可以提供新的激励。目的是本文将促使研究人员在与健康相关过程变化的领域测试该理论的潜力。呼吁从业者调整他们对患者的指导方向，根据自我决定理论，他们应该支持自主性，而不是控制与健康相关变化的促进。
