Abstract

Resumen Se presenta la experiencia de redefinición de la metodología de mapeo de activos en salud, que tuvo como objetivo hacer posible el análisis según desigualdades de salud, así como su utilización como herramienta en procesos participativos de toma de decisiones en el ámbito de la Administración local. Para ello se diseñó un procedimiento replicable y apto para todas las edades y todos los colectivos. A su vez, se estableció una extensa clasificación de los activos no solo en el plano geográfico, sino también según el perfil de la persona y las características de los activos. El volcado de los datos en un sistema de información geográfica y la gran cantidad de activos recogidos permitieron ampliar la interpretación habitual de los datos obtenidos y presentar la información de forma dinámica.

Abstract This is a report about the experience on redefining the health asset mapping methodology. The aim of this experience consisted of making an analysis on health inequalities, as well as of using it as a tool in decision-making participative processes in the local administration area. Thus, a replicable procedure for all ages and groups was designed. Besides this, assets have been widely classified, in accordance with the territorial distribution, people's profiles and asset features. Both the upload of data to a geographical information system and the large amount of data gathered allowed us to enlarge the common interpretation of data and present the information in a dynamic way.

Metodología para el mapeo de activos de salud en una comunidad

Blanca Botello, Sergio Palacio, Mercedes García … (2013)

Dentro del proceso regional de desarrollo de una estrategia de participación comunitaria en salud en Asturias, y en el contexto del Observatorio de Salud, hemos desarrollado una metodología para iniciar el mapeo de los activos en salud de ámbito local. En esta metodología se parte de una descripción de los recursos más formales y de las actividades comunitarias existentes, junto con una caracterización de los recursos en salud más informales, personales y simbólicos. Se presentan las herramientas agrupadas para el desarrollo del mapeo y su conexión con los modelos teóricos de la salutogénesis, asset model y del desarrollo comunitario.

Health assets in a global context: a systematic review of the literature

Tine Van Bortel, Nuwan Wickramasinghe, Antony Morgan … (2019)

Objective To provide an up-to-date overview of health assets in a global context both from a theoretical perspective and its practical applications to address health inequalities and achieve sustainable health. Design A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Data sources A comprehensive search, including 10 electronic bibliographic databases and hand searches, was undertaken to capture the wide range of terms associated with ‘health assets’ and ‘asset-based approaches to health’. Eligibility criteria Any peer-reviewed published and grey literature in English related to ‘health assets’ or ‘assets’ in a ‘health’ context was included without any date, country or study design restrictions and the quality of evidence was appraised according to the Oxford Level of Evidence. Outcomes A broad consideration of all outcome measures including clinical outcomes, patient-level, community-level and population-level impacts and costs, was adopted. Results 478 publications were included. Health assets were researched in 40 countries, predominantly in the West such as the USA and the UK. A number of broad health assets were identified including community and individual assets. Even though research was conducted in a number of different settings, most occurred in the community, clinical, care or educational settings. A wide variety of interventions and approaches were implemented, most commonly related to education and/or training, asset mapping or asset approaches. Conclusions Globally, authors most often referred to general ‘health assets’, ‘assets’ or some form of ‘community asset’ in relation to health. Overall, the idea of health assets is framed within a positive paradigm focusing on health creation rather than curative approaches. The sustained credibility of the global ‘health assets’ literature depends on future research on definitional, theoretical and evaluative issues in order to convince policy-makers and service commissioners of its necessity and added value to the traditional deficit approach.
