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.
肌肉骨骼、心血管和心理健康都与工作的身体和社会心理状况以及个人健康行为有关。工作场所健康促进计划的综合方法应包括关注工作环境，特别是鉴于最近的研究结果表明工作组织会影响所谓的生活方式或健康行为。宏观工效学提供了一个框架，以改善工作的物理和组织特征，并在此过程中增强个体工人的能力。新英格兰工作场所健康促进中心（CPH-NEW）是一项从研究到实践的工作，旨在检验将职业安全与健康（尤其是工效学）与健康促进相结合的工作场所计划的有效性，强调工作组织对两者的贡献。目前正在三个不同部门开展两项干预研究：医疗保健、惩教和制造业。每项研究都采用参与式结构，以促进员工参与健康目标设定、计划设计与开发以及评估，目标是提高有效性和长期可持续性。
