Modelo Ecológico aplicado al campo de la Salud sexual

Resumen

In the health-disease process, health psychology has become relevant in explaining and predicting risk behavior. Some models start from the premise that changes in variables of cognitive type generate changes in behavior; However, empirical evidence shows that people may believe that carrying out certain behaviors are detrimental to their health, but they do nothing to change those habits. An explanation of why they do not generate changes from the intervention in cognitive variables, is because they leave aside the context in which they are, such as: family, school, among others; In this way consider that an individual is immersed in different environments will give a different view to explain why a person gets sick or not. An approach that allows to understand the health-disease process from this perspective is the Ecological Model, so the objective of the present work is to exemplify the use of this model through a theoretical revision in the field of sexual health.
