Intervention of Health Social Work in the Determinants of Health

Abstract

Health is a relevant aspect in people’s lives, but there are many factors that surround us and that can affect it. We can make a general differentiation of these factors, on the one hand there are physical determinants and on the other hand social elements that surround the user’s environment and that influence it.
It is important as socio-health professionals to be aware of the relevance and influence of these elements, to promote healthy factors as well as offering alternatives that maintain and improve health.
Therefore, users and professionals must be made aware and held responsible for the importance of experiences and life choices that affect the present and future of health.
