“…These findings are in line with another recent, longitudinal study about growth of authenticity in managers as a consequence of adversities during a merger [18] and theories of the development of inner strength. [19] Therefore, the development of managers' identity is influenced by combined organizational and managerial processes, [20] their dealing with contradictory and conflicting logics [21] and the adversities they face. The development of identity through a struggle between personal identity and being a representative…”

Objective: Delivery of health care service (HCSs) is a public issue in Sweden. Managers' decisions and strategies are expected to be open to debate, investigation and scrutiny by the media. There is, however, little knowledge about how managers at local level communicate with the media. The aim of this study is to present an empirically grounded conceptual model of how operative health care managers perceive and handle media communication in open, transparent management of public HCSs. Methods: A grounded theory approach was adopted including in-depth and follow-up interviews with 45 managers, and complemented with open-ended questions that were answered by the majority of municipal top managers of public HCSs in Sweden (n = 161). Results: Communicating with the media were interacting in spite of unequal logics and conditions regarding openness in communicating. In managers response to media misrepresentation (inaccurate, narrow and skewed reporting) of the often complex and value-laden issues of HCSs they put highlighted dignity, correctness regarding facts, and protection of integrity. Managers' approaches were to mobilize individual and organizational resources in order to support openness and reduce uncertainties, through crafting managerial hardiness and organizational robustness, and over the longer term, by building authentic openness through awareness, control and acceptance of the conditions. Conclusions: In conclusion, handling the media can be challenging owing to different logics for reporting, but the media plays a vitally important role in the transparency of the management. Dealing with the pressure of media attention can either have negative consequences or contribute to more open and authentic internal and external communication.

“…The umbrella identifies 21 other concepts or theories that have the potential to explain health and quality of life. Eriksson and Lindström (2010) and others (e.g., Almedon, 2005;Lundman et al, 2010) have made head way into assessing the extent of overlaps among some of these constructs but it is fair to say that much work remains to be done to test the uniqueness of the different concepts empirically (Konttinen, Haukkala and Uutela, 2008). Therefore, investigation of the interrelationships between SOC and other key constructs in the study of wellbeing, such as optimism, emotional regulation, mindfulness, etc.…”

Twenty years has passed since the publication of the seminal paper 'The salutogenic model as a theory to guide health promotion ' (Antonovsky, 1996), in which Antonovsky proposed salutogenesis and its central construct sense of coherence (SOC) as a way of boosting the theoretical basis for health promotion activities. Since then there has been a notable amount of conceptual and empirical work carried out to further explore its significance. The aim of this paper is to critically assess the current theoretical status of salutogenesis and its utility to advance effective health promotion practice for young people. The assessment was carried out in the context of contemporary international policy agendas on wellbeing. An analytic framework was developed using previous literature on the definition and function of theory. This organizing framework comprised four criteria: description, explanation, prediction and measurability. The paper concludes with a perspective on the status of salutogenesis as a theory and how it can be further developed. Specifically, the critical assessment highlighted that salutogenesis has been subjected to considerable empirical testing over the last few decades resulting in convincing evidence of the relevance and subsequent advancement of the idea.However, less emphasis seems to have been placed on a systematic process of testing and iteration to develop its theoretical basis. The paper identifies a number of aspects that should be developed to support the progression of salutogenesis to the next level. A research-practice cycle approach is proposed that can facilitate that important next step.

“…This sense of connectedness is an important component of older people's mental health. This was supported by Lundman et al (2010) who claimed connectedness is one of the inner resources in improving health among older people aged 85 years and over. Similarly, Haslam et al (2013) argued that a sense of connectedness is a main component of improving health outcomes.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that social connectedness has an important role in loneliness, anxiety and depression among older people (Amzat & Jayawardena, 2016;Cacioppo et al, 2015;Cruwys et al, 2014;Singh & Misra, 2009). It was found that social connection is one of the inner resources in improving health among older people (Haslam et al, 2013;Lundman et al, 2010). Social connectedness was also an important component in reducing anxiety and depression which was found through interaction between nurses and older people (Haugan et al, 2013).…”
