PEREZ-GONZALEZ, Juan-Carlos; YANEZ, Silvia; ORTEGA-NAVAS, Mª Carmen  and  PIQUERAS, José A.. Emotional education in health education: a matter of Public Health. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.3, pp.127-136.  Epub Nov 02, 2020. ISSN 2174-0550.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/clysa2020a7.

The holistic model of health requires the inclusion of emotions in prevention and promotion policies. A systematic review was carried out in databases Medline, PsychInfo, and ERIC to check the extent to which emotions are covered in health education. Sixty-six of the 648 papers reviewed were accepted, presenting a wide range of topics, theories, and terms regarding emotional health. Therefore, health education strategies that take emotions into consideration are still underrepresented in scie.jpgic literature. Moreover, a great terminological and theorical diversity is found among the ones that incorporate emotional health, hindering knowledge dissemination and generalization of results. The need for an implementation of a health education model where emotional education is included as an essential part of it, according to recent scie.jpgic advances is clearly shown.

Keywords : Emotions; Emotional health; Health education; Health promotion; Prevention; Emotional intelligence; Wellbeing.
