| Abstract | Musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and mental health are all associated with the physical and psychosocial conditions of work, as well as with individual health behaviors. An integrated approach to workplace health-promotion programs should include attention to the work environment, especially in light of recent findings that work organization influences so-called lifestyle or health behaviors. Macroergonomics provides a framework to improve both physical and organizational features of work and, in the process, to empower individual workers. The Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW) is a research-to-practice effort examining the effectiveness of worksite programs that combine occupational safety and health--especially ergonomics--with health promotion, emphasizing the contribution of work organization to both. Two intervention studies are underway in three different sectors: health care, corrections, and manufacturing. Each study features participatory structures to facilitate employee input into health goal-setting, program design and development, and evaluation, with the goal of enhanced effectiveness and longer-term sustainability. | | Keywords | Behavior-patterns; Cardiovascular-system; Employee-health; Ergonomics; Health-programs; Health-services; Health-surveys; Mental-health; Musculoskeletal-system; Occupational-health; Occupational-psychology; Occupational-sociology; Physical-reactions; Physical-stress; Physiological-effects; Physiological-factors; Physiological-response; Physiological-stress; Psychological-adaptation; Psychological-effects; Psychological-factors; Psychological-processes; Psychological-responses; Stress; Work-analysis; Work-environment; Worker-health; Worker-motivation; Work-organization; Workplace-studies; Work-practices | | Contact | Laura Punnett, ScD, Department of Work Environment, One University Avenue, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA 01854 | | CODEN | PHRPA6 | | Publication Date | 20090701 | | Document Type | Journal Article | | Email Address | Laura_Punnett@uml.edu | | Funding Type | Grant | | Fiscal Year | 2009 | | NTIS Accession No. | | | NTIS Price | | | Identifying No. | Grant-Number-U19-OH-008857 | | ISSN | 0033-3549 | | Source Name | Public Health Reports | | State | CT; MA | | Performing Organization | University of Massachusetts, Lowell |
