Abstract
ALCALDE-RABANAL, Jacqueline Elizabeth; MOLINA-RODRIGUEZ, Juan Francisco and CASTILLO-CASTILLO, Lorena Elizabeth. Contributions of training to the promotion of health in State Health Services: comparative analysis in eight states in Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2013, vol.55, n.3, pp.285-293. ISSN 0036-3634.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of the training provided by the National Public Health Institute (INSP per its abbreviation in Spanish) in health promotion to institutional staff of local health services during 2007 and 2008. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A non -experimental evaluative research with comparison group was conducted, in which quantitative and qualitative methods were used. RESULTS: In states intervened a better conceptualization of health promotion, social participation and components of the Health Promotion Operating Model was observed; participatory action research was the basic strategy to work in the community and management showed a tendency to be more participatory and inclusive. CONCLUSION: A better conceptualization of health promotion has allowed health personnel develop more sustainable work processes in the community and has driven the search for consent and participatory management.
