Abstract
PURPOSE: This paper aims to clarify the concept of social capital within a health context using Rodgers's (2000) Evolutionary Method. SOURCE: Published literature. CONCLUSIONS: The analysis demonstrates that social capital is the intangible assets, including trust, networks, and social norms of reciprocity, possessed by a society within a specific culture. When a unit (individual or a family) increases its sense of community or quality of community participation, this could increase its social capital. The result of this analysis provides a guide for further conceptual and empirical research and clinical practice.
