这种方法研究的目的是检查什么自测健康被理解为调查受访者的意思。数据来自半结构化（重新）采访42名中年参与者的1994年芬兰的生活条件调查。当被调查者被要求描述他们目前的健康状况时，结果显示出具体的、上下文的、部分矛盾的“健康”概念。健康主要表现为没有不健康，但也与个人经历和生活状况有关，并作为行动的结果。第二，在评估自评健康状况时，所有答卷人的评估都以健康状况不佳为依据，并根据健康状况不佳的严重程度、持续时间和所造成的限制进行修改。进一步的分析表明，一些受访者还根据健身和健康行为进行评估。结果表明，除了健康的医学模式，采用健康促进信息和“健康”的生活方式是促进健康评估的重要因素。
The aim of this methodological study is to examine what self-rated health is understood to mean by survey respondents. The data are derived from semi-structured (re-)interviews with 42 middle-aged participants of the 1994 Finnish Survey on Living Conditions. When the respondents are asked to describe their present health, the results show concrete, contextual, and partly contradictory conceptions of "health". Health is presented primarily as absence of ill-health, but also connected to personal experience and life situation, and as a result of action. Second, when assessing self-rated health all respondents base their assessments on ill-health, modified by the severity, duration and restrictions posed by ill-health. Further analysis shows that some respondents base their assessments also on fitness and health behaviour. The results suggest that in addition to the medical model of health, adopting health promotion messages and "healthy" lifestyles are important factors contributing to health assessments.
