A simple empirically based method for assessment of the feasibility of workplace health promotion programs is described, focusing on cancer hazards (lifestyles, workplace hazards, deficient early detection). The basic components of feasibility are addressed: extent of hazards; needs of employees for hazard reduction and acceptability of WHP; and social context.
The procedure consists of six modules: guidelines on feasibility assessment; employee questionnaire; interview checklists for probing attitudes of management and partners (social context); data form; debriefing; and assessment of feasibility. Pretesting was completed in 16 workplace communities representing industry, construction, transport, telecommunications, health care, lodging and catering, teaching, and municipality jobs in five countries; a total of 1,085 subjects completed the employee questionnaire on health hazards, needs, and acceptability.
The method demonstrated its utility in obtaining and summarizing the necessary data. Feasibility was assessed for the 16 test communities.
The procedure can be customized; it has a high degree of face validity or understandability, and it is applicable in a wide variety of settings.
描述了一种基于经验的简单方法,用于评估工作场所健康促进计划的可行性,重点关注癌症风险(生活方式、工作场所风险、早期检测不足)。探讨了可行性的基本要素:风险程度;员工降低风险的需求以及工作场所健康促进计划的可接受性;以及社会背景。
该程序由六个模块组成:可行性评估指南;员工问卷;用于探究管理层和合作伙伴态度(社会背景)的访谈清单;数据表格;汇报;以及可行性评估。在五个国家的16个工作场所社区进行了预测试,这些社区代表了工业、建筑、运输、电信、医疗保健、住宿和餐饮、教学以及市政工作;共有1,085名受试者完成了关于健康风险、需求和可接受性的员工问卷。
该方法在获取和汇总必要数据方面显示出其效用。对16个测试社区的可行性进行了评估。
该程序可以定制;具有高度的表面效度或易懂性,并且适用于各种环境。
