MERAS JAUREGUI, Rita M y RODRIGUEZ CARVAJAL, Guillermo. Some considerations about health promotion. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.4, pp. 658-669. Epub 01-Oct-2021. ISSN 1029-3043.
Introduction:
health promotion constitutes a fundamental tool in medical practice since it goes beyond mere information to patients about their disease and treatment.
Objective:
to analyze the selected bibliography on health promotion and prevention.
Methods:
various personal criteria and a group of concepts and definitions on health promotion and prevention were taken as a basis in order to provoke debate and controversy among professionals. A review of dissimilar Cuban and foreign bibliographies related to this topic and related topics was carried out; different criteria were analyzed on what it really means to promote health in its three biological, psychological and social dimensions. This constitutes a tool for health personnel without distinction of profiles or levels of care depending on their work.
Conclusions:
we concluded that promotion and treatment are an inseparable part of current medical practice.
