This video will cover the National Health Promotion Policy (PNPS), a frequent topic in exams. It will provide study tips and explain the concept of health promotion, which is highly likely to appear in tests. For a complete and updated study of the PNPS, an e-book with 43 pages of content, tips, and over 40 practice questions is available on the enfrenteenfermagem.com.br website.

The PNPS was redefined by Ordinance No. 2446 of 2014, which was later revoked by consolidation in Ordinance No. 2 of 2017 (SUS consolidation ordinance). If your exam syllabus specifically refers to Ordinance No. 2446/2014, study only the PNPS. If it refers generically to 'Health Promotion,' broaden your study to include philosophical bases and the levels of prevention in health by Leavell and Clark. Pay close attention to whether the exam references the original ordinance or the consolidated one, as this impacts the scope of study.

Health promotion is defined following the redemocratization of health in Brazil. The 8th National Health Conference in 1986 was a landmark for universal health access, establishing health as an undeniable social right. The expanded concept of health was adopted after this conference and further solidified by the Ottawa Charter in 1986. The 1988 Federal Constitution established the Unified Health System (SUS), ensuring universal access, comprehensive care, equality, and social participation. Law 8080 of 1990 (Organic Health Law) incorporated this expanded concept, considering lifestyle, socio-cultural context, and moving beyond health as merely the absence of disease.

Health promotion is a set of strategies and ways of producing health at individual and collective levels. It involves intersectoral and intrasectoral articulation, cooperation, and the formation of health care networks, integrating with other social protection networks. This intersectorality is crucial for meeting individual and collective health needs, recognizing the impact of social and cultural aspects. Health promotion considers the autonomy and uniqueness of each individual, community, and territory, addressing their specific needs.

Health promotion requires understanding the factors that determine and condition people's health, such as quality of life, nutrition, housing, education, sanitation, recreation, pleasant home and work conditions, a responsible lifestyle, and adequate health services. It is an individual-centered model with projections for the family and society. Health promotion actions are part of primary health prevention, alongside specific protection. Promoting health means providing conditions for individuals, families, and communities to have a good quality of life, considering the determining and conditioning factors of health outlined in Article 3 of Law 8080/1990. The PNPS guides how to achieve this quality of life and prevent illness.
