Abstract

Introduction: Salutogenesis is an academic orientation that seeks to highlight the factors that actively promote the health and well-being of people, offering greater control over their lives and health. Within this approach, the assets for the health of the population available in the community stand out. Objective: Review the literature on the main occupations or significant activities considering the approach of assets for health in young people. Method: A literature review was carried out in the PubMed, Science Direct (Elsevier) and Virtual Health Library databases, between the years 2013-2019. The descriptors “health assets” AND (Children OR Adolescents) and “Activos para la salud” AND jóvenes were applied. Ten articles were chosen from the 145 screened. Results: Ten articles were selected and analysed. The most relevant health assets identified in young people are self-knowledge and self-confidence. Regarding occupation, they consider that leading a healthy lifestyle, having a purposeful life, leisure and social relationships are the main identified health assets. On the other hand, a strong impact of the relationship with the family for health assets has been identified. Conclusion: It is essential to include in the occupational therapy intervention with the young population the identification of health assets and how they impact health and well-being. In addition, it is important to investigate how health assets can reduce community social inequality
