fräilitetsmodell

Fräilitetsmodell refers to a theoretical framework used in sociology and social work to understand and analyze the concepts of social support and well-being. The term translates to'salutogenic model' in English, emphasizing the focus on factors that contribute to health and well-being.

Devised by Antonovsky in the 1980s, the fräilitetsmodell posits that human behavior and communities contain inherent resilience that contributes to individuals' ability to cope with stress and other adverse circumstances. According to this perspective, people who exhibit high levels of resilience tend to be those who experience confidence, have a sense of purpose, and possess strong social connections.

The central idea of the fräilitetsmodell is that the capacity to handle stress and maintain well-being is not solely the result of individual characteristics, but also of the broader social setting. This implies that communities and social structures play a significant role in shaping individuals' access to resources, opportunities, and experiences that promote health and well-being.

In practice, the fräilitetsmodell has been used to inform the development of community-based interventions aimed at enhancing social support networks, fostering a sense of community, and promoting individual coping strategies. It remains an important concept in the fields of public health, social work, and sociology, highlighting the importance of understanding the interconnectedness between individual well-being and societal conditions.
