Abstract(s)
A Psicologia da Saúde é um campo da Psicologia
cada vez mais valorizado no campo da Saúde em áreas
como a relação das pessoas, no dia a dia, com a Saúde
e com a Doença, a comunicação e cooperação com os
restantes técnicos de Saúde e a investigação e inovação
no Sistema de Saúde. Este facto tem a ver com a
evolução histórica do conhecimento, da intervenção e
da investigação nesta área, que ocasionou uma convergência
“histórica”, entre o âmbito da Psicologia da
Saúde, o âmbito da Saúde Pública e ainda o âmbito da
emergente Saúde Internacional, com benefícios para
essas três áreas.
Uma outra consequência foi o aumento da formação
específica na área da Psicologia da Saúde por parte
da maior parte das Escolas Superiores de Psicologia,
com inclusão de conteúdos ligados à Saúde Pública e
Saúde Internacional, o mesmo acontecendo na formação
nas áreas da Saúde Pública e Saúde Internacional,
que em geral passam a incluir conteúdos ligados à Psicologia
da Saúde. Durante este trabalho serão revistas
estas mudanças históricas bem como a sua repercussão
na formulação de questões relativas à promoção da
saúde/bem-estar dos indivíduos e da comunidade.
The relevance of Health Psychology in the health field is increasing, including areas such as daily relationship of people with health and disease, communication and cooperation with other health professionals and research and innovation in the Health System. This fact has to do with an historical evolution of knowledge and research in this area whose consequence was an “historical” convergence among Health Psychology, Public Health and the more recent International Health, and had important benefits for those three areas. Another consequence had to do with academic training. Most of Superior Psychology Schools include now a specific training in Health Psychology, with contents in Public Health and International Health, and in the same way, most Public Health Schools and International Health Schools include now contents in Health Psychology. This work will review these historical changes and their consequences on this new understanding about health/well- being promotion in individuals and in the community.
