Abstract

The study entitled "The Impact of Salutogenesis on Women Scientists: Challenges and Resilience in the Progress of Science" aims to analyze in detail the impact of women scientists on salutogenesis and their contribution to the overall advancement of scientific knowledge. This research is framed within a qualitative paradigm, aligned with the interpretive approach, and employs a documentary and analytical design. Content analysis and systematic literature review methods were applied to examine the publications, citations, and awards given to women in the scientific field. Through the collection and analysis of documentary sources, the study seeks to understand the experiences and challenges these researchers face, as well as the impact of their contributions on the scientific community. The results show that, although there has been an increase in publications by women, their visibility and recognition remain disproportionately low compared to their male colleagues. Despite this, the contributions of these scientists have been essential to the evolution of theories and practices related to salutogenesis, providing innovative perspectives that have transformed the understanding of health and well-being. The most relevant conclusion highlights the crucial need to recognize and showcase these contributions, not only to honor the legacy of these pioneers but also to inspire future generations to actively participate in science. This study underscores the importance of addressing gender disparities in science, as amplifying the voice and impact of women in salutogenesis is key to advancing towards a more inclusive and equitable science that benefits all of society.
