Concientización facilitadora: alternativa al concepto tradicional de la motivación en el campo de la salud

Abstract Over the past few decades, the world has been exposed to a number of threats from emerging viral outbreaks of different kinds In the face of the new COVID-19 pandemic, attitudes, beliefs, expectations, or representations of the disease/health problem, play a determining role Alphabetize in health is to raise consciousness, to learn to think, to show patients their problematic experience, to inculcate a critical conscience to make them capable of perceiving what is bad, and to discover the means to be used for its improvement Applying Paulo Freire's process of conscientization, it is possible to pass from a passive conscience to an active critical conscience (conscientization), through an active method of alphabetization and conscientization in health, dialogue and critique, with appropriate proposals and contents for each case
