ABSTRACT
The WHO Health Promotion Glossary was written to facilitate understanding, communication and cooperation among those engaged in health promotion at the local, regional, national and global levels. Two editions of the Glossary have been released, the first in 1986 and the second in 1998, and continued revision of the document is necessary to promote consensus regarding meanings and to take account of developments in thinking and practice. In this update 10 new terms that are to be included in the Glossary are presented. Criteria for the inclusion of terms in the Glossary are that they differentiate health promotion from other health concepts, or have a specific application or meaning when used in relation to health promotion. The terms defined here are: burden of disease; capacity building; evidence-based health promotion; global health; health impact assessment; needs assessment; self-efficacy; social marketing; sustainable health promotion strategies, and; wellness. WHO will continue to periodically update the Health Promotion Glossary to ensure its relevance to the international health promotion community.

Este artículo muestra ideas clave para incluir en los contenidos de los programas de educación para la salud sobre afectividad y sexualidad, normalmente dirigidos a adolescentes, pero que también tienen una acogida excelente entre los adultos. Actualmente se plantea una reflexión importante más allá de la idea clásica de educar para evitar embarazos no deseados y enfermedades de transmisión sexual: el sexo es una fuerza positiva y enriquecedora de la vida humana que contribuye a nuestro proceso de crecimiento personal como seres completos (cuerpo + energía + emociones + mente + alma). Es la salud sexual desde el punto de vista holístico (total), la salud como máximo desarrollo de la persona (AU)

Nowadays an important reflection appears beyond the classic idea of educating to avoid not wished pregnancies and diseases of sexual transmission: sex is a positive and enriching force of human life that contributes to our process of personal growth as complete beings (body + energy + emotions + mind + soul). It is the sexual health from the holistic (total) point of view, health as the greatest development of the person (AU)

Health education is area of social reality, in which all less or more purposeful interactions on consciousness, behaviour and conduct of human met. They are meant to be understand as holistic, dynamic and long- term process. Bases of this process are two elemental values: life and health of the human being, which are the source of pedagogical and obligatory norms. In the area of health education we should highline processes of health education and health promotion. From the health pedagogic point of view, which is fulfilling explicational, generalising, communicative, applicational and heuristic function, they become also needed to describing, explaining and estimating the health education process. Example of attaching bigger weight to health educational processes is obligatory entering to the teacher's educational programs terms connected with it's aims, contents, forms, methods and measures.
