| Popis | This article presents findings of a literature review that sought to answer the followingquestion: How are the terms “wellness” and “healthy lifestyle” used in current scientific literature and what are possible implications of their use for wellness education? A review of scientific literature published in 2015 was conducted, involving online database keyword searches, additional searches of other studies and resources, screening abstracts, assessing their relevance to the review, and integrating the findings with regard to the topic of wellness education. Conclusion: Healthy lifestyle is defined as behavior that leads to better health; as such it is used in current scientific literature. Wellness is used as a broader term across different contexts. It is used as a synonym or accompanying term to health as defined by WHO, encompassing similar dimensions – physical, mental, social and spiritual (and many more). Authors suggest that wellness education should promote wellness with regard to an individual’s actual state and needs, using designs and methods that not only spread and support practices and knowledge about healthy living, but that empower inner motivation and responsibility across all dimensions of health and wellness. |
