Abstract

Resumen La salud comunitaria es un concepto ambiguo que implica el uso de diversas prácticas y enfoques para la intervención del proceso de salud-enfermedad-atención en una comunidad especifica. Identificar los pilares, enfoques e instrumentos a utilizar en cada nivel de atención de la salud comunitaria, así como los principios para su integración en la atención primaria permitirá que los agentes de cambio involucrados puedan comprender y hacer uso de esta información para mejorar su labor. De lo contrario, se dificultará el fortalecimiento de las acciones de salud comunitaria en los planes y programas de acción sanitaria, generando resultados no positivos en el bienestar de la población.

Translated abstract

Abstract Community health is an ambiguous concept that implies the use of various practices and approaches for intervention in the health-disease-care process in a specific community. Identifying the pillars, approaches and tools to be used at each level of community health care, as well as the principles for their integration into primary care will allow the change agents involved to understand and use this information to improve their work. Otherwise, the strengthening of community health actions in health action plans and programs will be hindered, generating no positive results in the well-being of the population.

The connection of the University with the community to which it belongs is one of the basic principles on which the former is based. A community will be healthy as long as there are many connections between the individuals and sub-groups that form it. Working on health promotion, talking about participation and participatory models implies the assumption that people and communities have the right to self-manage. Implementing participation will involve opening up possibilities for co-management, autonomy, understanding of dynamic realities, the formalization of alliances, the transformation of contexts, and forms of relationship. It will involve understanding health as a right. Networking is fundamental in an interconnected and global world. Since its inception, the Project of Health Promoting Universities has been built with the participation of the university community towards improving the conditions for health, quality of life and well-being of all members of the community. Universities are ideal scenarios to implement strategies to improve the lifestyles of their members that also transcend to the university spaces and positively affect the lives of people on and off campus. The networks of Health Promoting Universities in Latin America were institutionalized in 2003, and took the form of the Ibero-American Network of Health Promoting Universities in 2007 within the framework of the third Conference on Health Promoting Universities held in the city of Juarez, Mexico. In 2008, the Spanish Network of Healthy Universities was created in Spain, in order to enhance the role of universities as environments that promote the health and well-being of their students, their staff and society, leading and supporting processes of social change.
