Abstract:Objective: This scoping review investigates current developments in the professional characteristics of health promotion (HP) with a focus on the German speaking part of Europe. The conceptualization of HP is a prerequisite for progressing HP professionalization and clarifying the interconnectedness between HP and Public Health.Methods: The search strategy was informed by sociological professionalization theories. Original publications were included in a content-based analysis.Results: Ninety publications (37 … Show more
“…The professional profile of HP is hard to capture for students of undergraduate programs (McKay and Dunn 2015;Zocher 2013). Core elements like the holistic perspective on health, focus on populations instead of individuals, intersectorality and strategies like advocating, mediating or enabling make it a very complex professional profile as recognized in literature (Biehl et al 2021;Keshavarz Mohammadi 2019;McQueen et al 2007;Tremblay and Richard 2014). This complex nature of HP is underlined by the fields of action proposed by the Ottawa Charta (WHO 1986).…”

“…While societal interest in HP is growing, its significance and recognition as a professional field has yet to be consolidated. Referring to the German speaking part of Europe, to date there has been no clarification of roles, competencies or professional training and ethics in HP -in other words no clarity about the profession of HP practitioners (Bals and Wulfhorst 2008;Biehl et al 2021;Göpel 2006;Streckeisen 2013;Walter This is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published Springer in Akerman, M., Germani, A.C.C.G.

“…More established professions investigate the PI formation of their workforce, such as medicine [42][43][44], physiotherapists [45,46] or social work [47][48][49][50]. To the authors' knowledge, literature on the PI of the HP workforce is scarce, especially there is a lack of empirical studies [51][52][53]. So far, studies on professionalization mainly focus on PH or health sciences [27,29,54,55].…”
The health promotion (HP) community advocates for capacity building, quality assurance and political awareness of HP. Professional identity (PI) is of great relevance to these goals as persons who strongly identify with their profession better adopt their professional role, raising the quality, competence and common values within a professional group. However, investigations on the HP workforce are missing. In order to investigate PI formation in HP professionals, a longitudinal study was conducted with two student cohorts of a Swiss HP and prevention undergraduate program. Using a qualitative approach, focus groups were conducted at the beginning and end of the undergraduate program. Data were transcribed verbatim and condensed using thematic analysis. The results highlight the complexity of the HP’s professional profile. While students experienced difficulties to capture the profile at the beginning of the program, at the end they developed an understanding of it. The practical experience within work placements helped students to grasp the profile and specify their future professional role. Several behavioral, cognitive and motivational aspects were identified that influence HP students’ PI formation and can be fostered. For instance, universities can commit to public relations for HP practitioners and support the PI formation throughout the study program.
ObjectiveThe objective of the research was to determine which socioeconomic factors are the ones that most influence the moral hazard in the behavior of the doctors of the Comprehensive Health Insurance in the province of San Román and to identify the attitude of the doctor to a gift and its influence in moral hazard.MethodsThe methodology used has a mixed, non-experimental and correlational approach, the Binomial Probit econometric model was used, applying a survey to 32 active doctors who work in the different SIS centers.ResultsIt is concluded that the factors that influenced the moral hazard and the behavior of the doctors were the bad reputation with a positive relation (27%), the social pressure with a negative relation (98%) and the behavioral attitude with a positive relation (94 %).ConclusionOf the survey carried out, 40.6% of doctors reject the offer of a gift or bribe, reducing the influence of moral hazard by 94%.
