“…Trap et al found that individuals with low SOC are most likely to increase their SOC level [24]. As suggested by Vinje et al in their professional training program, health promotion practices should therefore focus on expanding capacities in such individuals [66]. Interventions focusing on coping, problem-solving, cognitive therapy or lifestyle changes have been reported as effective [19].…”

Background: Professional caregivers are exposed to multiple stressors and have high burnout rates; however, not all individuals are equally susceptible. We investigated the association between resilience and burnout in a Swiss population of professional caregivers working in youth residential care. Methods: Using a prospective longitudinal study design, participants (n = 159; 57.9% women) reported on burnout symptoms and sense of coherence (SOC), self-efficacy and self-care at four annual sampling points. The associations of individual resilience measures and sociodemographic variables, work-related and personal stressors, and burnout symptoms were assessed. Cox proportional hazards regressions were calculated to compute hazard ratios over the course of three years. Results: Higher SOC, self-efficacy and self-care were related to lower burnout symptoms in work-related and personal domains. Higher SOC and self-efficacy were reported by older caregivers and by those with children. All three resilience measures were highly correlated. A combined model analysis weakened the protective effect of self-efficacy, leaving only SOC and self-care negatively associated with burnout. Conclusion: This longitudinal analysis suggests that SOC and self-caring behaviour in particular protect against burnout. Our findings could have implications for promoting self-care practices, as well as cultivating a meaningful, comprehensible and manageable professional climate in all facets of institutional care.

“…There is a great need for women to have the opportunity to discuss their birth plan with the midwife and their need for support and information. Vinje et al [ 38 ] recommend that education should include salutogenesis as a body of knowledge, as a continuous learning process, as a way of working, and as a way of being. Equal emphasis on what to do, how to do it, how to be it is a key factor in succeeding in training health professionals in salutogenesis [ 38 ].…”

“…Sociodemographic background, psychological and birth-related factors and availability of social support affect sense of coherence among parents, which is positively correlated to the quality of the relationship, satisfaction with perceived support, psychological wellbeing and overall birth experience [ 37 ]. According to Vinje, Ausland and Langeland [ 38 ], health professionals’ “salutogenic capacity” is their degree of skill to help a person or group examine, mobilize and deploy sufficient resources to achieve a shift towards the experience of good health and wellbeing [ 38 ]. This is needed in different life situations during the course of life.…”

Strengthening Antenatal Care towards a Salutogenic Approach: A Meta-Ethnography

The aim was to explore how midwives, public health nurses and nurses view caring in antenatal care (ANC) as provided for mothers and fathers/partners. Based on Noblit and Hare (1988), meta-ethnography was used to address meaning by synthesizing knowledge and understanding inductively through selected qualitative studies (n = 16). Four core themes were identified: (1) supporting the parents to awaken to parenthood and creating a firm foundation for early parenting and their new life situation; (2) guiding parents on the path to parenthood and new responsibility; (3) ensuring normality and the bond between baby and parents while protecting life; and (4) promoting the health and wellbeing of the family today and in the future. The overarching theme can be expressed as “helping the woman and her partner prepare for their new life with the child by providing individualized, shared care, firmly grounded and with a view of the future”. Caring in antenatal care (ANC) is being totally present, listening and using multidimensional professional competence but also being open-minded to new aspects and knowledge. The health promotion and positive health aspects should be considered an important part of supporting parents and the whole family now and in the future. A more conscious salutogenic approach to ANC would lead to more favorable results and could be a fruitful research topic in the future. There is a need to provide midwives/nurses with enough time to allow them to concentrate on specific needs and support for different kind of families in ANC but also training for midwives to make them more familiar with online and other options.

“…It provides a foundation for “lifestyle medicine”, which is an emerging effort to broaden the scope of mainstream medicine to include the use of evidence-based lifestyle therapeutic approaches, such as a predominantly whole food, plant-based diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, alcohol moderation and tobacco cessation, and other non-drug modalities, to prevent, treat, and, potentially even reverse lifestyle-related, chronic diseases (Antonovsky, 1993; Egger et al, 2009). Similarly, education programs for medical professionals are incorporating lifestyle medicine into their curriculum to help healthcare providers better assist patients in developing self-care strategies to improve one’s own health (Vinje et al, 2017; Egger et al, 2009). In short, a more holistic view of health is necessary.…”
