“…Therefore, health promotion initiatives for adolescents should promote intense physical and sports activities and should put an emphasis on building self-esteem and body satisfaction, which is also noticed by other authors [65]. It could also be worth using a salutogenic approach in Physical Education, which connects mental and physical recourses during classes [66].…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the protective role of physical activity (PA) and other health-related bio-psycho components (physical fitness, body composition, body perception and the sense of coherence (SOC)) in body acceptance. We searched for gender differences in those relationships. We investigated 231 adolescents aged 13–16 years from an urban area in Poland. We conducted objective measurements of height, weight, fat% and relative value of minute oxygen consumption. Questionnaires for PA, SOC Body Figure Perception and body acceptance were applied. Linear regression was used for analyzing determinants of body acceptance. We found that more physically active girls reported a less slim ideal vision of their figure (p < 0.05). Physical fitness is a better predictor of body acceptance than physical activity. In the final model, the sense of coherence, body mass index (BMI), and gender (being a boy) were also predictors of body acceptance (F(6,92) = 13.084, p < 0.0001). Gender differences were discussed in the present study. Fitness enhancing physical activity should be recommended for adolescents to achieve the protective psychosocial effect especially among girls. Physical activity on a daily basis brings positive results in a more adequate and reasonable body assessment and it can play a protective role in terms of mental wellbeing. Body satisfaction varies between genders and it is a more sensitive issue among girls than boys during adolescence.

“…Based on the presented findings, advocating for a salutogenic orientation from a nursing perspective focused on the identification of mental wellbeing factors and fostering self-care must be a current priority in nursing academics. As a final consideration, it is paramount to ensure that teachers are trained in salutogenic approaches for shaping the salutogenic paradigm by means of educative interventions [ 94 ] in order to guarantee a successful implementation of these pioneer pedagogical models.…”

Background: Effective advocacy on self-care and the enhancement of a sense of coherence among nurses don’t only benefit control over one’s health and personal performance, but it may have a direct impact on clinical care and on the entire healing system. In this regard, nursing curricula grounded on a salutogenic model of health (SMH) operate with strategies to engage students in self-care and contribute to improving their mental health and wellbeing. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between self-care agency and a sense of coherence as dependent variables and the age and self-reported academic performance as independent variables in nursing assistant students. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, data were collected from a full sample of 921 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Spanish students. A self-administered questionnaire, including sociodemographic variables, the ‘appraisal of self-care agency’ (ASA), and the ‘sense of coherence’ (SOC) constructs, was administered. Results: Results: Older participants presented significantly stronger values of both constructs. Apart from a significant and positive correlation between ASAS and SOC, ANOVA analyses indicate signif-icant differences in terms of academic performance according to different ASAS and SOC de-grees. Conclusion: The findings of this study endorse the assumption that there is a consistent relationship between ASA and SOC constructs that might, indeed, have a potential effect on stu-dents’ academic performance. In practical terms, it seems relevant to try to recognise the stu-dents’ self-care agency and the sense of coherence as forceful predictive variables of mental health and wellbeing, in addition to academic success as a strength implied in the future career achievement.

“…In addition to the development of physical, mental, and emotional strength of the individual, it has also been considered as an important principle in promoting public health (Qi & Ha, 2012). The topic of physical education is an essential part of formal school and education programs, which through games, activities, and planned physical movements cause the growth and development of the individual and strengthen and improve motor skills and cognitive abilities; Therefore, the attitudes and views of stakeholders in this field, such as teachers and especially students, is an important factor in the development and progress of this field (Klein & Vogt, 2019, Ryan, 2020.…”
