| Descrizione: | The purpose of the article is to carry out a theoretical analysis regarding the conceptual bases and the approaches that have been built around Health Promotion (HP), with the purpose of identifying similarities, divergences, advances and opportunities to strengthen the coherent theoretical position with the philosophy of Health Promotion, from a positive, purposeful, proactive and innovative vision promoted from within Costa Rica. Methodologically, content analysis is used, given the eminently theoretical approach of the article. The object of study is the conceptual and theoretical development of HP and some of its visions. The article discusses some theoretical currents linked to the topic, including the definition forwarded by PAHO in its 1986 Otawa Charter, healthy lifestyles, and the ability to enhance human development, to then emphasize the positive vision that is promoted by the Health Promotion Rectory Model of the Ministry of Health of Costa Rica; reference is made to differences existing between HP and prevention in general, including those related to rights and needs. The work concludes with the importance of the subject in question, its contributions and relevance to improve the implementation of the HP model in the Región de Occidente of Costa Rica (Costa Rica’s Western Region), in the first instance, with possible dissemination to other regions or even other countries. |
