“…Researchers should continue to develop and test the tools necessary to implement multilevel interventions, including theories about the role of social networks, institutions, communities, and policies in determining health, and practical mechanisms for measuring the constructs of those theories. As others have recently recommended (Allegrante et al, 2009), public health training programs should work to ensure that such tools become integrated into teaching curricula, alongside more established theories and intervention strategies. Furthermore, even as changes in the theoretical, empirical, and training structures are implemented, health educators may need to increasingly rely on multidisciplinary teams to provide the breadth of knowledge and experience required to facilitate effective health behavior change.…”

Social Ecological Approaches to Individuals and Their Contexts

The health promotion field is often criticized for focusing on lifestyle change while ignoring contextual forces that influence health. Social ecological models recognize individuals as embedded within larger social systems and describe the interactive characteristics of individuals and environments that underlie health outcomes (Sallis, Owen, & Fisher, 2008;Stokols, 1992). More than 20 years ago, an issue of this journal was dedicated to the exploration of an ecological model for health promotion. Building on the work of Urie Brofenbrenner (1977), who had previously articulated a multilevel framework, McLeroy, Bibeau, Steckler, and Glanz (1988) offered five levels of influence specific to health behavior: intrapersonal factors, interpersonal processes and primary groups, institutional factors, community factors, and public policy.In addition to articulating level-specific influences on health behavior, the authors described possible intervention strategies at each level of influence (McLeroy et al., 1988). What is particularly important, they argued, is to conceptualize model levels as more than just settings for interventions. Specific individual and environmental changes sought by a program help identify the level of intervention. For example, the authors suggest that intrapersonal level interventions aim to change the knowledge, beliefs, and skills of individuals. Interpersonal-level and institutional-level interventions, by contrast, are designed to create change in social relationships and organizational environments. The authors propose that changes in communities derive from partnerships with agencies, churches, neighborhoods, and other mediating structures; the objective of community-focused interventions is usually to increase health services or empower disadvantaged groups. Finally, implementing public policies with health behavior implications or facilitating citizen advocacy are frequent targets of interventions at the public policy level.Ecological models assume not only that multiple levels of influence exist but also that these levels are interactive and reinforcing. Stokols (1992Stokols ( , 1996 argues that the social, physical, and cultural aspects of an environment have a cumulative effect on health. He further contends that the environment itself is multilayered, since institutions and neighborhoods are embedded in larger social and economic structures, and that the environmental context may influence the health of individual people differently, depending on their unique beliefs and practices. Creating sustainable health improvements, therefore, is most effective when all of these factors are targeted simultaneously. Stokols (1996), however, notes that influencing all aspects of the environment Abstract Social ecological models that describe the interactive characteristics of individuals and environments that underlie health outcomes have long been recommended to guide public health practice. The extent to which such recommendations have been applied in health promotion interventions, however...

Methods: Integrative review of literature performed through search using the keywords: "mental health" and "professional competence", in the databases SciELO, LILACS, CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane, in the period of 2003 to 2011. 215 studies were identified, of these, six followed the inclusion criteria. Results: Based on the National Panel for Psychiatric Mental Health NP Competencies, the competencies were identified on the evaluated studies: Monitoring and ensuring the quality of health care practice, management of patient health/illness status, cultural competence, managing and negotiating health care delivery systems, the nurse practitioner-patient relationship. Conclusion: The studies analysis evidenced the need for education and training so that nurses may develop the competencies of health promotion in diverse psychiatric care and mental health contexts, in order to broaden knowledge and skills.

O desenvolvimento de competências na formação dos profissionais de saúde tem sido discutido na literatura científica como forma de assegurar serviços de qualidade e foi tema recente de publicações importantes no cenário internacional. No entanto, o Brasil apresenta poucas experiências e produções sobre o tema. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar como são configuradas as competências para a promoção da saúde na formação do enfermeiro. Trata-se de revisão integrativa da literatura, na qual foram incluídos oito artigos, teses e dissertações publicados a partir do ano 2000 em inglês, espanhol e português. Os descritores utilizados para a busca foram: "promoção da saúde", "educação baseada em competências" e "competência profissional". A análise permitiu revelar as seguintes categorias temáticas: definição de competências, competências e promoção da saúde e ensino das competências em promoção da saúde. Os achados mostram que a maior parte da literatura é de origem internacional. A maioria guarda semelhança com as competências do CompHP e Consenso de Galway e apresentam a definição de competência como a combinação de três domínios: atitude, conhecimento e habilidades. A promoção da saúde é abordada em disciplinas como saúde pública, saúde da população e políticas de saúde. Evidencia-se que alunos vivenciam a experiência da promoção da saúde na comunidade. Ademais, a abordagem da promoção da saúde nos anos finais do curso é indicada como mais proveitosa que no início, pela maturidade (clínica e política) dos estudantes.Palavras-chave: promoção da saúde; educação baseada em competências; educação em enfermagem. ABSTRACTThe development of skills in the training of health professionals has been discussed in the scientific literature in order to ensure quality services and has recently been the subject of important publications in the international arena. However, in Brazil it has few experiences and productions about the theme. The study aimed to analyze how competencies for health promotion in nursing education are configured. This is an integrative literature review in which were included eight articles, theses and dissertations published since 2000 in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The descriptors used for the search were: "health promotion", "education based on skills" and "professional competence". The analysis unearthed the following thematic categories: definition of competencies, skills and health promotion and teaching of skills in health promotion. The findings show that most of the literature is of international origin. Most guard resemblance to the powers of CompHP and Galway Consensus and present the definition of competence as a combination of three areas: attitude, knowledge and skills. Health promotion is addressed in disciplines such as public health, population health and health policy. It is evident that students experience the health promotion practice in the community. Moreover, the approach to promoting health in the final years of the course is indicated as more profitable than at the beginning b...
