Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) raised many questions needing answers in order to overcome the disease burden globally. Uncertainty about COVID-19 contributes to the complexity of the burden on the health, social, economic, and cultural influences of COVID-19. In this context, all related disciplines are working together to mitigate the negative influences of the disease. In particular, health promotion, a discipline of public health, matters to the pandemic as it may address the threats at different levels. Health promotion strategies mostly use solution-oriented efforts with inter- and multidisciplinary approaches. Nevertheless, as the COVID-19 burden has many time-critical determinants, these approaches cannot be sufficient to overcome the problem. A transdisciplinary approach in its broader sense using almost all inputs to synthesize and produce an integrative solution may be extremely helpful. In this paper, the importance of transdisciplinary approaches in health promotion to combat COVID-19 has been discussed.
新型冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 在全球范围内带来了许多需要回答的问题，以克服疾病负担。对 COVID-19 的不确定性导致了其对健康、社会、经济和文化影响的负担的复杂性。在这种情况下，所有相关学科都在共同努力，减轻疾病的负面影响。特别是，作为公共卫生学科的健康促进，对大流行很重要，因为它可以在不同层面上解决威胁。健康促进策略主要使用面向解决方案的努力，采用跨学科和多学科方法。然而，由于 COVID-19 的负担有许多时间关键决定因素，这些方法可能不足以解决问题。更广泛意义上的跨学科方法，利用几乎所有投入来综合和产生综合解决方案，可能会非常有帮助。本文讨论了在应对 COVID-19 方面，健康促进中跨学科方法的重要性。
