actions in HEIs. The results showed, through the analyzes carried out by the quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the need to assign meaning, coherence and
legitimacy to the HEI in fields still unexplored, such as SD and SR. This evidence
supports the admission of a cross-sectional model of HP’s actions, compatible with
the principles of environmental bioethics. The ecosalutogenic approach identified is
a promising means of stimulating and promoting environments that support health,
well-being and behavioural change and which, due to the bioethical principles
evidenced, have proved to be an essential intervention tool in the systematisation
of HP’s actions. In this scenario, bioethics acts as an integrating, transdisciplinary
and moderating element. The positive (holistic) health model stands out as a concrete
alternative that contributes to the planning and development of HP’s programs and
actions in HEIs, through a sustainable and socially responsible approach, promoting
aspects related to ethics, well-being and quality of life, and positively reinforcing
the health-environment binomial. As future challenges and opportunities for future
researches, it is possible to highlight the need to disseminate research on bioethics and
the broad scientific knowledge of this discipline through multidisciplinary research;
development of institutional strategic planning in HEIs involving bioethics in its
multiple curricular and transdisciplinary domains; the implementation of scientific
research in evidence-based bioethics; the strengthening of HP, SD and SR in HEIs,
considering their transdisciplinary locus and extensive to several areas of knowledge.
