LA SALUD DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA DE LA RESILIENCIA.

Objective: to identify how the concept of health resilience is incorporated and from which paradigm this integrative dialogue takes place. Materials and methods: literature review in scientific databases, on the resilience applied to health. Results: Resilience has the support of WHO and PAHO, it implies an optimistic look, which involves emotional, cognitive, interactional and social aspects. It is an active vision, which generates empowerment and agency capacity in health. It requires an interdisciplinary task, to identify and enhance resources, strengths, autonomy and self-responsibility, and differs from the traditional emphasis from the biomedical paradigm, focused on dysfunctionality and pathology. Resilience strengthens an active and leading position of all agents, to resolve situations that affect health. It is a dynamic quality, which can and should be encouraged and strengthened. Conclusion: it is a priority to articulate the resilience to enhance health in general, well-being and quality of life, focused on people, social groups or institutions. Its complexity and multifactorial condition is established, which implies assuming a complex, ecosystem, integral and contextual view of the human phenomenon. The active and leading role of people in improving their health condition and quality of life is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
