Abstract Research using salutogenic factors to promote health is extensive. Salutogenesis, and its core concept ‘sense of coherence’ (SOC), is a resource-oriented theory and framework, applicable in different contexts. Research combining health promotion and doctoral supervision in higher education is scarce. This article places research supervision in a broader context of sustainable working life by focusing on stress management. It is about health promotion in an area of research supervision, a new approach not described earlier. Research on supervision in general is extensive, focusing on co-generative mentoring, counselling and coaching. A new salutogenic model, ‘The Collegial Model’, is presented as an example of practical application. The aim of the present article is to introduce and discuss how the salutogenic theory and model of health can be applied to research supervision of postgraduate students. Knowledge about how SOC impacts health and learning has benefit from a systematic review on salutogenic research covering published papers from 1992 to 2003 and until today. ‘The Collegial Model’ examines fundamental characteristics of supervision related to ethics and sense of coherence: relations, communication, processes, reciprocity, reflection, learning, comprehensibility, manageability, meaningfulness and coherence. Principles for carrying out supervision ‘the salutogenic way’ are suggested. The conclusion is that doctoral supervision involves mutual learning processes between colleagues in the supervisory team. Supervision has to be theory driven, implying that supervisors could benefit from applying a salutogenic way of thinking and working, particularly in development of guidelines for research supervision.

Introduction: Promoting self-care practice, as a critical strategy for enhancing the quality of life in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a challenging issue. This study aimed to propose a model of health-promoting self-care behaviors in MS patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 patients with MS, who had referred to the Hospital for Special Diseases in Kerman City, Iran, were chosen. The main data collection instruments were the multiple sclerosis knowledge questionnaire, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, multiple sclerosis self-efficacy scale, questionnaire of perceived barriers and benefits of self-care behaviors, social support, the health promotion lifestyle profile II, and resilience and sense of coherence scale. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS V. 22 and AMOS18 software. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was also used for further analysis of data Results: The model explained 82% of variance in Health-Promoting self-care Behavior (HPB). The results of the final model obtained from the SEM showed that self-efficacy (β=0.53, SE=0.04, P= 0.007), self-esteem (β=0.39, SE=0.04, P=0.005), social support (β=0.36, SE=0.04, P=0.009), sense of coherence (β=0.34, SE=0.07, P=0.006), resilience (β=0.33, SE=0.07, P=0.018), and perceived benefits (β=0.25, SE=0.05, P=0.009) had a positive and significant relationship with HPB. Conclusion: The self-care empowerment model in patients with MS presented in this study can be used as a framework for designing health promotion interventions to improve the quality of life of patients with MS.

Salutogenic Model

This paper explores how the salutogenic theory can enable us to re-envision health promotion work with marginalized communities, towards an approach that acknowledges and honours their resilience. We use the three core concepts in Antonovsky’s salutogenic model of health – sense of coherence, generalized resistance resources and specific resistance resources – to explore the theory’s relevance to health equity, thus presenting new opportunities for how we might radically re-evaluate current health promotion approaches. We conclude that a more equitable health promotion requires increased participation of marginalized communities in shaping their futures and suggest a new model for historically grounded salutogenic health promotion.

Abstract Persons who flee their home country are confronted with innumerous stressors. The action research project PAGES (Participation and Health Literacy of Asylum Seekers and Recognised Refugees in Salzburg) asked how their subjective health can be supported - despite experiences of uncertainty and inactivity in the asylum process. In the two yearlong accompanying qualitative research the project investigated into the role of participation, consistency and un-der/overload balance - as defined by (Antonovsky 1979, 1987) - for the well-being of 20 refugees from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Venezuela, aged between 17 and 58 (two thirds thereof were women). The analysis of empirical data showed that the subject-oriented dimensions (Antonovsky 1979, 1987) need to be complemented by intersubjective forms of recognition. First, findings stress the importance of support by “legitimate others” (e.g. social workers) in order to develop a sense of manageability, only briefly mentioned by Antonovsky (1987). Second, the experience of emotional closeness (Shagy/Antonovsky 2000, sphere of love in Honneth 1995) is essential for a person’s well-being, which is often hindered by isolation in refugee camps, relationships under distress or denied family reunification. A third crucial intersubjective dimension is legal recognition and the protection of one’s human dignity (Honneth 1995), which is often violated by racism and other forms of discrimination. Fourth, refugees seek the opportunity to rally for social esteem for their capacities and particularities (Honneth 1995), which is - at least in Austria - hindered by the denial of access to educational institutions and gainful work. According to these findings, health promotion for refugees in welcoming countries needs to enable positive life experiences regarding participation, comprehensibility, manageability/support by “legitimate others” and emotional closeness, legal recognition and social esteem. Key messages For a deeper understanding of salutogenesis, the subject-oriented elements of the sense of coherence (Antonovsky 1987) need to be complemented by intersubjective forms of recognition (Honneth 1995). Health promotion means enabling experiences of participation, comprehensibility, manageability as well as support by “legitimate others”, emotional closeness, legal recognition and social esteem.
