Challenges and Scope of Public Health for the Understanding of Contemporary Psychosocial Problems. (English)
- Abstract:
Introduction. The concept of public health appears frequently in the disciplinary practices of health, social, and human sciences. However, the concept of public health is controversial because of its multifaceted and interdisciplinary nature. This happens because its meaning, theorization, and application vary according to how each discipline understands the issues it seeks to address. Objective. To critically analyze the concept of public health and its object of study, based on its relationship and differentiation with different approaches in psychology and medicine. Methodology. This was a study of reflection and critical analysis of the different conceptualizations and applications of public health. Reflection. Three relevant debates have been addressed: the links of public health with psychology and medicine (1), the object of study of public health (2), and the challenges to address current social and health problems (3). The historical evolution of the concept of public health, its interdisciplinary nature, and its adaptability to sociopolitical contexts and emerging contemporary social issues are discussed. Conclusion. Interdisciplinarity is emphasized to address emerging challenges, focusing efforts on mitigating multidimensional factors associated with global health and well-being, as well as the importance of strengthening organizational structures, developing appropriate policies, and having robust epidemiological systems to face current and future challenges.

Introducción. El concepto de salud pública aparece con frecuencia en las prácticas disciplinares de las ciencias de la salud, sociales y humanas. Sin embargo, la salud pública es objeto de debate debido a su naturaleza multifacética e interdisciplinaria. Esta variabilidad se atribuye a las diferencias en cómo cada disciplina interpreta y aplica el concepto, basándose en su propia comprensión de las problemáticas que buscan intervenir. Objetivo. Analizar críticamente el concepto de salud pública y su objeto de estudio a partir de su relación y diferenciación con distintos enfoques en psicología y medicina. Método. Se trató de un estudio de reflexión y análisis crítico de las diferentes conceptualizaciones y aplicaciones de la salud pública. Reflexión. Se abordaron tres debates relevantes: los vínculos de la salud pública con la psicología y la medicina (1), el objeto de estudio de la salud pública (2) y los retos para abordar problemas sociales y de salud actuales (3). Se discute la evolución histórica del concepto de salud pública, su carácter interdisciplinar y su adaptabilidad a los contextos sociopolíticos y a las emergentes problemáticas sociales contemporáneas. Conclusión. Se destaca la interdisciplinariedad para atender los retos emergentes, centrando esfuerzos en mitigar factores multidimensionales asociados con la salud y el bienestar global, así como la relevancia de fortalecer las estructuras organizativas, desarrollar políticas adecuadas y contar con sistemas epidemiológicos robustos para enfrentar desafíos actuales y futuros.
