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.

    Summary

    School employees can be trained as facilitators for health promotion programs, improving their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Program feasibility hinges on stakeholder decision-making processes.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Health Promotion
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • Public schools prioritize children's health but neglect employee well-being programs.
    • School employee health programs are scarce, despite the need for support.
    • Occupational stress and well-being among school staff require targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate a self-help health promotion program for school employees.
    • To assess the feasibility of training school employees as health program facilitators.
    • To investigate the impact of a facilitated health program on employee well-being.

    Main Methods:

    • Surveys assessed well-being, health behaviors, and occupational stress before the program.
    • A prevention-oriented educational program utilized trained facilitators for small group work.
