Salutogenesis and Coping
New open access book on how to overcome stress and conflicts
This Special Issue aims to explore the concepts of stress, coping resources, and coping strategies, which are rooted in several theories, such as the stress and coping theory and the salutogenesis theory, and to understand how their core constructs are manifested in various ethnic and cultural groups around the world. It includes 13 articles on salutogenesis and coping from different disciplinary, socio-cultural, historical, political, and economic perspectives. These articles address salutogenesis on the individual, organizational, and societal levels.

An introduction to Salutogenesis: how to apply salutogenic principles in your dietetic practice?
11th June 12:00 - 13:00 CEST
The salutogenic orientation focuses on assets and resources for health leading to positive outcomes. It is complementary to the pathogenic orientation that is concerned with risk factors leading to disease outcomes. Applied to dietetic practice, salutogenesis aims to actively involve clients in a learning process towards healthier eating. Research findings show that this can be achieved through reflection, food-life storytelling and the construction of meaning and purpose to eating in everyday-life. In this 1-hour webinar, we will explain salutogenic principles and exchange ideas on how to apply these principles to dietetic practice.
