Arbetslivsinriktad rehabilitering är ett komplext område som kräver samverkan mellan myndigheter, organisationer och individer. Förebyggande och hälsofrämjande processer är också av stor betydelse för ett hållbart arbetsliv.Boken består av tre delar. Perspektiv på rehabilitering – ger en beskrivning av förutsättningar för rehabilitering och hållbar arbetsmiljö, juridiska och medicinska perspektiv på sjukdom och arbetsförmåga samt komplexiteten gällande sjukskrivning. Aktörer i rehabiliteringsprocessen – fokuserar på ett flertal aktörer som har viktiga roller i arbetsmiljö- och rehabiliteringsarbete. Frågor rörande samverkan mellan berörda myndigheter och andra aktörer behandlas också. Strategier för arbetsmiljö och rehabilitering – fokuserar på framgångsrika rehabiliteringsmodeller och arbetslivsinriktad rehabilitering när det gäller psykisk ohälsa och problem från rörelseorganen. Ekonomiska perspektiv och hållbarhet gällande arbetsmiljö, hälsa och rehabilitering belyses också. Rehabiliteringsvetenskap vänder sig till studerande, lärare och forskare på universitet och högskolor, myndigheter, företagshälsor och andra konsulter som arbetar med insatser som rör arbetsmiljö, hälsa och rehabilitering. Boken kan även vara av intresse för ledare i offentliga och privata organisationer, skyddsombud och fackliga representanter.

Denna bok ger ett vetenskapligt perspektiv på salutogenes – det goda livets ursprung. Forskningsfältet salutogenes beskrivs med utgångspunkt i människors strävan efter det goda livet, mitt i arbetet med att ta hand om barn och familj och att göra en fullödig insats inom arbetslivet, oavsett om man är ledare eller medarbetare. Principer för tillämpning i arbetslivet diskuteras också.

Boken bidrar med ny kunskap då salutogenes sätts i ett sammanhang. Författarna relaterar kunskapsområdet till hälsofrämjande och visar hur viktiga människors olika förmågor och resurser för hälsa och välbefinnande är för detta. De olika kapitlen ger en gedigen teoretisk grund och bidrar med praktiska exempel på tillämpning.

Salutogenes vänder sig till studerande inom högskola och universitet samt yrkesverksamma inom hälsofrämjande arbete, hälso- och sjukvård, folkhälsovetenskap, socialt arbete, personalvetenskap och hälsopedagogik.

Sagt om boken[...] Läroboken utgör sammantaget en grundlig vetenskaplig presentation av teori och metod avseende hur människors förmågor och resurser kan användas i hälsofrämjande riktning." Motzi Eklöf, lektör, BTJ-häftet nr 21, 2015.

This open access textbook represents a vital contribution to global health education, offering insights into health promotion as part of patient care for bachelor’s and master’s students in health care (nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiotherapists, social care workers etc.) as well as health care professionals, and providing an overview of the field of health science and health promotion for PhD students and researchers. Written by leading experts from seven countries in Europe, America, Africa and Asia, it first discusses the theory of health promotion and vital concepts. It then presents updated evidence-based health promotion approaches in different populations (people with chronic diseases, cancer, heart failure, dementia, mental disorders, long-term ICU patients, elderly individuals, families with newborn babies, palliative care patients) and examines different health promotion approaches integrated into primary care services. Thisedited scientific anthology provides much-needed knowledge, translating research into guidelines for practice. Today’s medical approaches are highly developed; however, patients are human beings with a wholeness of body-mind-spirit. As such, providing high-quality and effective health care requires a holistic physical-psychological-social-spiritual model of health care is required. A great number of patients, both in hospitals and in primary health care, suffer from the lack of a holistic oriented health approach: Their condition is treated, but they feel scared, helpless and lonely. Health promotion focuses on improving people’s health in spite of illnesses. Accordingly, health care that supports/promotes patients’ health by identifying their health resources will result in better patient outcomes: shorter hospital stays, less re-hospitalization, being better able to cope at home and improved well-being, which in turn lead to lower health-care costs. This scientificanthology is the first of its kind, in that it connects health promotion with the salutogenic theory of health throughout the chapters. the authors here expand the understanding of health promotion beyond health protection and disease prevention. The book focuses on describing and explaining salutogenesis as an umbrella concept, not only as the key concept of sense of coherence.

This open access book is a thorough update and expansion of the 2017 edition of The Handbook of Salutogenesis, responding to the rapidly growing salutogenesis research and application arena.Revised and updated from the first edition are background and historical chapters that trace the development of the salutogenic model of health and flesh out the central concepts, most notably generalized resistance resources and the sense of coherence that differentiate salutogenesis from pathogenesis. From there, experts describe a range of real-world applications within and outside health contexts. Many new chapters emphasize intervention research findings. Readers will find numerous practical examples of how to implement salutogenesis to enhance the health and well-being of families, infants and young children, adolescents, unemployed young people, pre-retirement adults, and older people. A dedicated section addresses how salutogenesis helps tackle vulnerability, with chapters on at-risk children, migrants, prisoners, emergency workers, and disaster-stricken communities.  Wide-ranging coverage includes new topics beyond health, like intergroup conflict, politics and policy-making, and architecture.  The book also focuses on applying salutogenesis in birth and neonatal care clinics, hospitals and primary care, schools and universities, workplaces, and towns and cities. A special section focuses on developments in salutogenesis methods and theory.With its comprehensive coverage, The Handbook of Salutogenesis, 2nd Edition, is the standard reference for researchers, practitioners, and health policy-makers who wish to have a thorough grounding in the topic. It is also written to support post-graduate education courses and self-study in public health, nursing, psychology, medicine, and social sciences.

This open access book is a comprehensive yet compact volume explaining both the theory of salutogenesis and key examples of its implementation. It mainly serves as an introduction to salutogenesis for newcomers but also would appeal to teachers and students of any profession attached to health, nursing, environmental, political, pedagogical and social sciences. The new edition is revised, updated and expanded with new areas of research.The first edition was a unique publication linking salutogenesis to health promotion, giving it a theoretical foundation and exemplifying its use in the five core action areas of the Ottawa Charter and beyond. It published in 2010, whereafter the research area of salutogenesis has become widely accepted in most health sciences and as a theory foundation for health promotion. Since then, the number of scientific publications on salutogenesis has increased exponentially.This second edition includes the latest updates in the field of salutogenesis and how salutogenesis offers a perspective to examine planetary health and sustainability in a concise and accessible way. Among the topics covered:The Original Salutogenic FrameworkThe Orientation to Life Questionnaire - the Sense of Coherence (SOC)Health, Mental Health and Quality of LifeSalutogenesis in the Context of Learning ProcessesSalutogenesis in the Context of WorkSalutogenesis in the Context of SocietyCritical Issues Related to the Salutogenic Theory and Its ImplementationFuture PerspectivesThe Hitchhiker's Guide to Salutogenesis: From the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion to Planetary Health is pertinent reading for health promotion professionals, nurses, social workers, living environment specialists, health policy makers, academics, students, and lecturers in the fields of health sciences, social sciences, health promotion and public health.
