Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to map out and characterize existing health-promotion initiatives at Florida International University (FIU) in the USA in order to inform decision makers involved in the development of a comprehensive and a long-term healthy university strategy. Design/methodology/approach This study encompasses a narrative literature review on health promotion in higher education institutions and the identification and characterization of the various health-promotion initiatives associated with the subject of healthy universities at FIU. The characterization of health-promoting initiatives relied on the stakeholder analysis approach. Using the information obtained from this study, a map for promoting health initiatives with their location, capacities, leadership, and resources was established. Findings Most publications on health-promoting universities are limited to partial experiences’ reproduction. Self-financing health-promoting initiatives foster competition and work in silos. Gains of health-promotion interventions require governance, participation, and academic considerations. This study highlights the need for standards and minimum requirements for the mapping and characterization of health-promoting initiatives within institutions of higher education. The health-promotion strategy should fall within the university’s social responsibility policy. Originality/value This study helps identify organizational strengths and weaknesses and can inform decision makers seeking to establish policies and strategies as well as defining priorities and courses of action for healthy universities.

Abstract:

This article argues that efforts to improve the health and well-being of the workforce should begin with the organization itself. The term organizational health promotion is introduced to expand the scope of worksite health promotion. Organizational health promotion delves into the basic structural and organizational fabric of the enterprise—to how work is organized. The core themes of healthy work organization are introduced, and the status of our ability to identify organizational risk factors is discussed. A conceptual model of healthy work organization is presented, along with a process for expanding the health promotive capacity of the organization. The final section addresses challenges related to adopting an organizational health promotion perspective.

Abstract:

Health promotion is a method to increase awareness of healthy behavior in public. Unhealthy lifestyles cause increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Community health nurses have a responsibility to increase the motivation of healthy practice with the health promotion’s method. This research method used a systematic review, using online databases on Cambridge Core, Wiley Online, and Science Direct e-resources when the articles published from 2006-2018. The selection of literature used the Critical Capability Program (CASP) tool and got eight relevant articles. The systematic analysis used the Cochrane Collaboration. The themes of this article are 1) nurses’ knowledge about health promotion, 2) the meaning of health promotion, and 3) the implementation health promotion of cardiovascular disease prevention by nurses. The themes identified some categories, such as nurse responsibilities, the essence of health promotion, support and barriers, and health promotion’s method. The nurse’s perception of health promotion is the core of their work to decrease the prevalence of the cardiovascular disease.

Abstract:

This paper describes the initiation of Victoria's Health Promoting Emergency Departments (HPEDs) Program,involving seven of Melbourne's Emergency Departments (EDs). The Program aims to integrate health promotion intothe function of EDs, to complement the clinical and curative emergency care that they already provide. A developmentphase identified the means of achieving this and involved establishing a multi-disciplinary Steering Committee andengaging health promotion specialists to record the opportunities for health promotion within the ED context.A literature review, and consultations with ED staff (focus groups and surveys) and other stakeholders were conducted.A concept paper was published and the development phase findings were documented, including recommendations onthe future of the Program.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis investigates whether the Health Promoting Hospital (HPH) is the way forward in the promotion of health. To address this, a number of key areas are considered. Firstly, the thesis places the HPH into historical context, as it is from a long the tradition of efforts to promote health and prevent disease that the HPH emerges. In order to understand the complex field of health promotion, the thesis examines the legacy of health promotion and its impact on contemporary health promotion and therefore on the potential of the HPH. The answers to this provide the immediate context from within which the HPH would be implemented. There is a need not only to understand the HPH as a theoretical concept but also to understand how it has been translated into practice. Thus how the HPH has been adopted as a basis for modelling practice is examined. If the HPH is to be a way forward for health promotion, then it will need to be adopted widely by hospitals that have had little previous interest in, or experience of, promoting health. To investigate the prospect of such widespread adoption, a study was carried out of the attitudes, perceptions and practices of nurses and patients at a typical UK teaching hospital outside the HPH movement. The findings of this study, which drew on Communication of Innovation Theory as a conceptual framework, are reported. For effective health promotion, there is also need to address the legacy of weaknesses that have hitherto hampered progress. Thus the thesis examines the extent to which the HPH can address the contemporary weaknesses of health promotion and, broadening out from this, it suggests other initiatives that might be taken to advance the effective promotion of health and the effectiveness of the HPH. The thesis argues that the Health Promoting Hospital is a useful vehicle to support the development of health promotion in the hospital setting but that effectiveness is hampered by the fundamental weaknesses of health promotion that it is insufficient, on its own, to counter. Initiatives are suggested that can begin to redress this.

Abstract:

This thesis represents a study which began when the term health promotion first appeared in health authority policy documents but, at the same time it appeared to be a term little understood by those health care professionals deemed responsible for its implementation. Clarification of the concept of health promotion was pursued by the researcher using grounded theory methodology. Health visitors, health education officers/health promotion officers, and general practitioners participated in a series of group interviews and the data was analysed by cognitive mapping (Jones 1975), and constant comparative analysis (Glaser & Strauss 1967). Results from analysis of the qualitative data formed a theoretical framework which guided the second, quantitative stage, of the study. A postal survey of a national sample of 1000 health visitors was undertaken. The response rate was 65% comprising 557 health visitors. Analysis of data was carried out using the SPSS statistical package. The results revealed that health visiting workloads and priorities remain fairly traditional although over 60% of respondents identified client and community led health education/health promotion work as one of their priorities. Examples of health promotion undertaken by health visitors revealed a wide range of activites but with emphasis placed clearly on parent/child issues. A majority of health visitors (63%) thought health promotion activities could be measured, but over 80% of respondents recognised the complexities of doing so. Although over half of the practising health visitors rated their mode of practice as both individualistic and community approach, over 50% of respondents identified a need for additional skills in group work, teaching, research and assertiveness. A number of obstacles preventing health visitors from developing health promotion activities were identified. The position of health visiting in the context of current political ideology is examined.

Abstract:

This thesis examines contradictions in health promotion and workplace health promotion with a particular emphasis on the situation in Wales. The practice of health promotion has become bound up with the ideological bias towards the responsibility of the individual prevalent in current political thinking. This is at the expense of considering the social, cultural, and economic context within which individuals find themselves. This whole approach encourages health to be considered as a commodity which can be purchased by individuals who become consumers of health. Workplace health promotion is practised in a narrow fashion through education and regulation or restriction of lifestyles through workplace policies. A comprehensive approach to promoting employee health must also consider organisational factors which impact on employee health. The thesis contrasts the prevailing economic rationale for workplace health promotion, with a deeper sociological rationale in terms of health promotion acting as a management control strategy. In terms of this sociological rationale, it analyses whether employers focus on employee health in negative terms of exploiting the employee, or in positive terms of seeking to harness the potential of the employee. The widespread application of workplace health promotion in the United Kingdom - where the responsibility for health is placed with the employee - sees labour as being treated as a commodity to be exploited similar to the other factors of production, land and capital. It is argued that it is only when an organisation adopts an holistic approach to workplace health promotion that labour's innate qualities of having a potential which can be harnessed is acknowledged. The feminisation of the workforce is used as an example of how labour has come to be treated as a commodity as opposed to developing its innate potential. It concludes with original case studies which explore the above issues placing them within the context of two particular organisations.

Abstract:

The concept of health promotion is an alternative and emerging orientation. Here the belief is that all people have strengths and are capable of determining their own needs, finding their own answers, and solving their own problems. Most health care professional have been educated in the medical model of health. In this model, the health care professional, especially the physician, plays an active part as an expert on disease; the patient or client has essentially a passive role, and the disease rather than the person is the focus. The role of health care professionals in health promotion is an important one and will continue to expand with the new focus of the province of Alberta's health system. The focus of that system, and other health systems in Canada and abroad, is increasingly upon health promotion rather than disease treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of a variety of health care professionals working in the community and in the hospital setting relating to health promotion. The study takes a non-experimental approach utilizing a descriptive design. All professional staff including registered nurses, occupational therapists, recreational therapists, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, social workers, dental workers, nutritionists, speech-language pathologists, and physicians working in Palliser Health Authority were asked to participate in the survey. Two hundred and thirteen staff responded to a questionnaire desgined to reflect their perceptions on the importance of health promotion, determinants of health, principles of health promotion, and skills and knowledge of health promotion. Staff were also asked to identify health promotion activities occuring at their work site, possible barriers to health promotion, and what was needed regarding training and support. Some of the major findings include: 1) Staff perceive health promotion to be an important part of their job. However staff working in the community perceive health promotion to be more important than those working in the hospital. Physicians were the least positive about questions pertaining to the importance of health promotion. 2) Staff perceive that the purpose of health promotion is to strengthen peoples' control over their health, but responses also indicate uncertainty concerning how control is to be defined and effected. 3) When asked to identify health promotion activities at their work site, the majority of staff pointed to the provision of information to individuals and groups. Community development was listed by very few staff. 4) When staff were asked to identify barriers to health promotion they identified the following in the order: lack of resources, old attitudes about health and health promotion, lack of support from the organization and doctors, lack of knowledge/education, and lack of communication between health care workers.

Abstract:

The UK has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Western Europe and young people are disproportionately affected by high rates of sexually transmitted infections. An experimental evaluation of a sexual health promotion DVD entitled, “Bedroom Business,” was undertaken to assess its capacity to change the cognitive antecedents of condom use. Bedroom Business is a 27 minute documentary featuring young people and health professionals discussing sexual health. The DVD also tells the story of five local young people who write and produce a song which focuses on the risks of unsafe sex and underlines the importance of using condoms. Schools were randomised to either no intervention (control) or presentation of the DVD followed by group discussion (intervention). Participants were 147 students aged 16-18. The DVD was evaluated in terms of its capacity to change 13 cognitive antecedents of condom use through a self-report questionnaire. Participants completed the questionnaire at baseline and at four week follow-up. Analysis of covariance, with baseline scores as covariates, showed there were no differences between the conditions on any of the variables. The DVD itself was very popular, with nearly all the students responding that they would recommend it to other young people. Qualitative feedback revealed many young people found it appealing because it featured other young people. The implications of the study are discussed in the wider context of research into sexual health interventions. It is suggested interventions that are greater in scope and duration, holistic in nature and which aim to change future life opportunities for young people may serve to be the most effective.

Abstract:

Introduction Maintaining good life quality in urban neighbourhoods is one of the biggest challenges. The project "Healthy Neighbourhoods - Health Promotion and Prevention in Districts" ( 07/201712/2020) aims to describe and improve health and quality of life of citizens living in neighbourhoods with different socioeconomic statuses. Method To examine a possible connection between social and health situation, six districts with "very low", "low", "middle" and "high" social statuses will be compared. An instrument was developed to measure walkability, community sense, nutrition, alcohol and tobacco consumption, resilience, health-related quality of life as well as the socio-economic and the socio-demographic status. Results In April 2019, the team recorded n=621 interviews (n=102 in Lohbrügge, n=116 in Rahlstedt, n=87 in Sasel, n=135 in Stellingen, n=65 Wilhelmsburg and n=116 in Hamm). Men were somewhat overrepresented compared to women (n=268 woman, n=345 men, n=2 diverse, n=8 no indication). Respondents were aged between 18 - 96 (mean = 57.5, SD = 19.6). Discussion The results demonstrate different health situations, resources and challenges regarding the socio-economic status and the district respectively. To ensure a participative approach, the results will be presented to citizens and health experts living in these districts and form the basis to develop health promoting intervention.

Abstract:

The Red Lotus Critical Health Promotion Model (RLCHPM) is used in health promotion teaching, research and practice in multiple countries. The model is designed to support critical health promotion as a public health practice, and responds to calls to move practice away from biomedical-behavioural approaches to health promotion. The RLCHPM includes of a system of values and principles for critical practice including health equity, holistic health paradigm, strengths-based salutogenic approaches, socioecological science, non-maleficence, and empowering engagement processes. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the RLCHPM on the practice of graduates from health promotion programs from a university in Australia. Methods: We conducted a mixed methods study involving an online survey of graduates from 2008 to 2016, followed by semi-structured interviews with a subset of self-nominated respondents. We used descriptive analyses for survey data and thematic analysis for interview data. Results: There was a total of 95 respondents (49% response rate) and 10 of these were interviewed. Participants felt knowledgeable about the model, and confident about their ability to use it. The model was understandable, easy to use, and important, relevant and useful in practice. More than half felt that the model had an impact on their health promotion practice, however less than a quarter felt that the model had an impact on institutional policies in their workplace. Interview data revealed the need for a step-by-step guide for implementing the model in multiple sectors, access to ongoing support for model implementation, and clearer links to other relevant models. Conclusions: The RLCHPM is well understood and considered to be important, relevant and useful to the practice of graduates. The study has implications for the use of the model in health promotion degree programs, and in professional development programs for health promotion practitioners.

Abstract:

A National Arts and Health Framework was endorsed by all Australian states and territories in 2014; acknowledging the role of the arts in contributing to health and wellbeing. This review, commissioned by VicHealth, aimed to identify: effective approaches for improving arts participation (especially in priority groups); programs or activities using the arts which have been effective in increasing awareness, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours in five priority areas; and which of these approaches, programs or activities may be implemented by local councils. The findings will be used to inform future strategic planning and investment for the VicHealth Arts Strategy 2019-2023.

Abstract:

This review aimed to identify community-based programs for over 60s that combine physical activity with other activities addressing key health risk factors, and which are effective in improving health behaviours and outcomes in this age group. It also considered applicable to NSW, identifying characteristics relevant to the NSW setting. The majority of the 26 included studies (examining 23 programs) found some evidence that combined interventions showed positive differences in physical and cognitive performance outcomes in the short-term. However, evidence for long-term impact is limited. Results should be interpreted with caution due to weak study designs and the short duration of programs
