HERNANDEZ-SANCHEZ, Jacqueline et al. Theoretical and practical trends of health promotion in schools in Latin America. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2019, vol.51, n.2, pp.155-168. ISSN 0121-0807. https://doi.org/10.18273/revsal.v51n2-2019007.
Introduction:
For many years it has been recognized that one of the most important scenarios to promote health is the school environment.
Objective:
To analyze the theoretical and practical trends of health promotion in the school environment in Latin America.
Methods:
Narrative review based on scientific literature published between 2007 and 2017 and linked in the databases Scielo, Redalyc, Lilacs and Ebsco.
Results:
The search yielded a total of 182 articles and 75 studies were selected that met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. There is a vision of the school as a favorable place for health care for schoolchildren, intersectoral work, policy development, knowledge and environments, as well as a relationship with education for self-care and the promotion of lifestyles. The tendency in terms of practices is to act in lifestyles from the health sector with a biologicist and hygienist approach.
Conclusions:
There is a gap between theory and practice because although broad perspectives of health promotion in the school setting are mentioned, the interventions are framed in the biomedical model, with a focus on risk and with incipient participation of the education sector.
