This study defines and describes, from the perspective of occupational health professionals, (a) the aging worker, (b) health promotion for aging workers, (3) employees' health-promoting activities, (4) workplace health promotion factors, (5) occupational health promotion activities, (6) co-partners supporting the health promotion, and (7) the impact of health promotion activities for older workers. A model is proposed, based on these issues.
A cross-sectional, qualitative design was used to analyze e-mailed essays. Content analysis of the essays yielded themes that were validated by an independent research colleague.
Ten group essays from 16 occupational health professionals who had participated in the Health Promotion Project of Aging Workers in Northern Karelia, Finland were received.
An aging employee was defined as a mature worker. Health promotion was defined as early prevention of the influence of health hazards. Workers can improve their health through living habits, positive attitude, personal relationships, and education. Individual work arrangements, good work atmosphere, and appreciative leadership were essential factors for the health of workers. Occupational health professionals supported workers by health examinations, workplace visits, counseling, and organizing activities.
The impacts of health promotion activities were better health, productivity, and work satisfaction.

采用横断面定性设计来分析电子邮件形式的短文。对短文进行内容分析得出的主题由一位独立的研究同事进行了验证。
收到了来自16位参与芬兰北卡累利阿老年工作者健康促进项目的职业健康专业人员的10篇小组短文。
老年员工被定义为成熟的工作者。健康促进被定义为对健康危害影响的早期预防。工作者可以通过生活习惯、积极态度、人际关系和教育来改善自身健康。个人工作安排、良好的工作氛围和赏识型领导是工作者健康的关键因素。职业健康专业人员通过健康检查、工作场所走访、咨询和组织活动来支持工作者。
健康促进活动的影响包括更好的健康状况、生产力和工作满意度。
