The science of happiness as a health strategy
Keywords
Abstract
Since time immemorial, the pursuit of happiness has fascinated minds and hearts, challenging us to plumb the abysses of human subjectivity. In a world permeated by nuances and complexities, understanding this elusive state continues to push the boundaries of our understanding, inviting us on an intellectual journey towards its essence. As we move forward in time, happiness has increasingly been the subject of scientific scrutiny, driving the emergence of disciplines such as psychology and neuroscience. In this context, the quest to understand the mechanisms underlying happiness transcends the boundaries of philosophy and enters the territory of empirical research, promoting a multidisciplinary approach that seeks to decipher the enigmas of the human mind and unveil the secrets of a full and satisfying life. Today, the emergence of the science of happiness represents an innovative approach in the field of healthcare, recognizing its impact on the emotional and mental well-being of patients. Thus, this study investigates the integration of psychology in the context of health care, aiming to promote the well-being and quality of life of patients. The research comprises a critical review of relevant contents, seeking to synthesize the existing knowledge on the subject. The humanization of health care emerges as a central issue, valuing both professionals and users of the health system. Despite the advances in the discussion and restructuring of health services, there is still a lack of studies that explore the theoretical and philosophical bases of these transformations.
