In this chapter, the authors thoroughly discuss the different possibilities of applying salutogenesis in politics and public policy. Politics is one of the upstream conditions that shape our individual lives as well as our society. Thus, asking about if and how salutogenesis can be applied to this field appears to be a most significant subject in Part IV of the Handbook relating to salutogenesis beyond health. In all of his writing about his model, Aaron Antonovsky emphasised how politics and policies contribute to shaping individual and collective abilities to strengthen salutogenic resources. The authors of this chapter approach this issue from the opposite direction, asking, ‘how can salutogenesis contribute to outlining strategies and structural processes linked to politics and policymaking?’ Their creative discussion succeeds in bringing the reader the utility of the salutogenic approach in addressing such issues.
在本章中,作者深入探讨了将健康生成理论应用于政治和公共政策的各种可能性。政治是塑造我们个人生活以及社会的上游条件之一。因此,探讨健康生成理论能否以及如何应用于这一领域,似乎是《健康生成手册》第四部分中一个极为重要的主题,该部分涉及健康生成理论在健康领域之外的应用。在亚伦·安东诺夫斯基关于其模型的所有著作中,他都强调了政治和政策如何有助于塑造个人和集体增强健康生成资源的能力。本章作者从相反的方向探讨这个问题,即“健康生成理论如何有助于勾勒与政治和政策制定相关的战略和结构过程?”他们富有创造性的讨论成功地向读者展示了健康生成方法在解决此类问题中的实用性。
