Objective:
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate quality of work life in early childhood education (ECE) centers and implement a total worker health (TWH) pilot project with a small sample of ECE teachers.
Methods:
An evidence-based strategic planning process to make policy, system, and environmental (PSE) changes related to TWH was implemented with six ECE centers. A pre-post design with mixed-methods was used to evaluate the impact.
Results:
Baseline findings suggest that there are significant disparities related to quality of work life among ECE teachers compared with the national population. After implementation of the pilot project, ECE centers averaged 4.7 PSE changes. Qualitative data informed facilitators and barriers to implementation of TWH-related changes.
Conclusions:
This pilot project reflects an evidence-based participatory approach to assessing and improving the well-being of ECE teachers.
