Gesundheitskompetenz. Modellbildung und empirische Modellprüfung einer Schlüsselqualifikation für gesundes Leben

The article depicts a structural model of health competences consisting of basic and developed skills, which refer to a perceptive-motivational as well as activity-based level. As a contrast to health literacy, the model is detached from the clinical context and intended as a life competence for health. The article also focuses on the empirical model review as well as on the issue of how to acquire competences.
