A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Community Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Obesity incurs significant annual healthcare costs for employers, exceeding $75 billion.
  • Worksite interventions for obesity prevention are common but resource-intensive.
  • Environmental approaches offer a cost-effective alternative for worksite wellness programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To plan and implement an environmental program to increase healthy eating and physical activity.
  • To identify workplace strategies that reduce barriers and enhance employee participation.
  • To explore employee and manager perspectives on worksite wellness initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a community-based participatory research model.
  • Utilized the Diffusion of Innovations Theory to guide focus group questions.
  • Conducted focus groups with employees and managers at four small manufacturing companies.

Main Results:

  • Identified key themes related to five environmental components: signs, walking paths, food changes, educational strategies, and advisory groups.
  • Gathered employee and manager input on feasible and acceptable workplace interventions.
  • Determined strategies to reduce barriers and improve communication for program participation.

Conclusions:

  • Environmental strategies, informed by employee and manager input, can effectively promote healthy eating and physical activity in small manufacturing settings.
  • A participatory research approach is valuable for developing tailored and sustainable worksite wellness programs.
  • Focus groups are effective for identifying practical environmental modifications and communication channels.
