目的-本白皮书的目的是总结2011年在斯泰伦博斯高级研究所举行的一次座谈会上就健康促进学校(HPS)当前的挑战、战略和潜力发表的共识声明,来自五大洲的40人聚集在一起,分享他们围绕世界卫生组织(WHO)HPS模式的全球和区域经验。设计/方法/途径-以共识为基础,本综述总结了影响HPS成败的基本教育和社会科学概念和因素,并结合了同行评议的论文,这些论文基于研讨会上受邀的演讲和关键的相关文献。发现-HPS增加知识并培养有益于儿童健康的行为,这样的学校也是对更大社区福祉的投资。对他们的长期心理健康来说,重要的是有效的HPS计划产生的“韧性”。学校内部的专业发展倡议可以促进更多地吸收健康的学校方法,并侧重于最佳做法。项目的推广、支持和评估由地方或国家机构的奖励计划和监督提供帮助。而参与HPS计划交付的高等教育中心的学员将获得显著的教育收益。实际影响-利用HPS模式的相对简单、低成本和固有灵活性的教育计划可以解决当今儿童面临的许多重大问题。HPS提供了一种创新和参与性的方式,增加了下一代意识到积极影响他们的生活方式和未来福祉的实际方法的可能性。成功的计划通常是那些相关的、引起学生共鸣的计划,并与学校社区合作,使他们选择“拥有”和维持他们的计划。原创性/价值-共识声明提供了HPS当前状况的基准,并概述了这种健康促进模式的未来方向。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to summarize a consensus statement generated on the current challenges, strategies, and potential of health promoting schools (HPS) at a 2011 colloquium at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study where 40 people from five continents came together to share their global and regional experience surrounding the World Health Organization (WHO) HPS model.Design/methodology/approach - Using the consensus as its foundation, this review summarizes the underlying educational and social science concepts and factors that contribute to success or failure of HPS, and incorporates peer reviewed papers based on invited presentations at the colloquium and key related literature.Findings - HPS increase knowledge and develop behaviors that benefit the health of children, such schools are also an investment in the well-being of the larger community. Importantly for their long-term psychological health "resilience" is generated by effective HPS programs. Professional development initiatives within schools can catalyze greater absorption of the healthy school approach and focus on best practices. Promotion, support, and evaluation of programs are aided by award schemes and oversight by local or national agencies. And significant educational benefits are accrued for trainees from centers of higher learning involved in HPS program delivery.Practical implications - Educational initiatives that utilize the relative simplicity, low cost, and inherent flexibility of the HPS model can address many significant issues facing today's children. HPS offer an innovative and participatory way to increase the likelihood of the next generation becoming aware of practical ways to positively influence their lifestyle and future well-being. Successful programs are usually those that are relevant, resonate with students, and engage school communities so that they choose to "own" and sustain their program.Originality/value - The consensus statement provides a benchmark of the current status of HPS, and outlines future directions for this model of health promotion.
