The presentation demonstrates the various possibilities of applying personal factors and intends to prove that the selection of items chosen makes sense. The process of a comprehensive discussion about the possible format of the component of personal factors in the ICF should lead to a further optimization of the proposal and the preparation of a discussion at an international level.

Die Maßnahmen des Modellvorhabens POLKA (Pflegeeinrichtungen als Kompetenzzentren in der Gesundheitsversorgung durch Multiplikation körperlicher Aktivität, siehe auch Beitrag „Modellvorhaben POLKA 2.0“ in diesem Heft) zielen auf die Verhaltens- wie auch Verhältnisprävention und beziehen sowohl die Nationalen Empfehlungen für Bewegung und Bewegungsförderung (NEBB) 1 als auch die aktuellen Bewegungsempfehlungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO 2 mit ein.

Personal contextual factors play an essential part in the model of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The WHO has not yet classified personal factors for global use although they impact on the functioning of persons positively or negatively. In 2010, the ICF working group of the German Society of Social Medicine and Prevention (DGSMP) presented a proposal for the classification of personal factors into 72 categories previously arranged in 6 chapters. Now a positioning paper has been added in order to stimulate a discussion about the fourth component of the ICF, to contribute towards a broader and common understanding about the nature of personal factors and to incite a dialogue among all those involved in health care as well as those people with or with-out health problems in order to gain a comprehensive perspective about a person's condition.
