Abstract | Corporations are beginning to examine exactly who is responding to health promotion programs offered at the worksite. Most findings indicate that those employees using most of the health care dollars are the least involved in health promoting efforts. When assessing why certain employees choose not to participate, application of a health promotion model will identify direct and indirect factors associated with this choice. Based on factors identified in the health promotion model, wellness programs are designed to fit the employees' level of readiness to adopt healthy behaviors. The three program levels build upon each other to achieve health promotion. The occupational health nurse has the skills necessary to identify this population which continues to live unhealthy lifestyles. The overall goal is to increase their participation in health promotion. This may be achieved by identifying their needs and designing programs accordingly. |
