To analyse workplace health promotion interventions implemented exclusively for the female population.
The differences in biological, psychological and social characteristics, as well as the type of work carried out by men and women, make it necessary for workplace health promotion to be specific for each group. This study focussed on working women.
Workplace health promotion interventions are centred on increasing the well-being and health of the employees. Occupational health nurses play an essential role in the implementation of these interventions.
A systematic review was carried out using the MEDLINE and Scopus databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
Twelve articles met the inclusion criteria. Two lines of interventions were found: (1) promotion of breastfeeding (16.6%) and (2) promotion of physical activity and other healthy lifestyles (83.4%). The interventions studied underlined promoting breastfeeding, preventing a sedentary lifestyle, improving body composition, reducing cardiovascular risk, relieving premenstrual symptoms, time of breastfeeding after returning to work, and showing favourable results.
The lack of studies on the subject and the medium-to-low quality of the articles included in the review have made it difficult to analyse workplace health promotion interventions, making it necessary to continue research in this area.
There are very few occupational health promotion interventions targeting women (1.9%), and the majority of them focus on promoting physical activity. It is worrying that specific aspects of women's health are poorly addressed.
The work of the occupational nurse essentially is to guarantee the health of women in the workplace, being the key figure in the research and development of gender-related policies in the field of public health.
分析仅针对女性人口实施的工作场所健康促进干预措施。
男性和女性的生物、心理和社会特征以及所从事工作的类型存在差异,这使得工作场所健康促进必须针对每个群体进行具体规划。本研究侧重于职业女性。
工作场所健康促进干预措施以提高员工的幸福感和健康水平为中心。职业健康护士在实施这些干预措施方面发挥着重要作用。
按照系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南,使用 MEDLINE 和 Scopus 数据库进行了系统评价。
符合纳入标准的文章有 12 篇。发现了两条干预线:(1)促进母乳喂养(16.6%)和(2)促进身体活动和其他健康生活方式(83.4%)。所研究的干预措施强调了促进母乳喂养、预防久坐不动的生活方式、改善身体成分、降低心血管风险、缓解经前症状、重返工作岗位后的母乳喂养时间,并取得了有利的结果。
由于缺乏关于该主题的研究以及纳入的文章质量中等偏低,使得难以分析工作场所健康促进干预措施,因此有必要继续在该领域进行研究。
针对女性(1.9%)的职业健康促进干预措施非常少,其中大多数侧重于促进身体活动。令人担忧的是,女性健康的特定方面没有得到很好的解决。
职业护士的主要工作是保障女性在工作场所的健康,是公共卫生领域性别相关政策研究和制定的关键人物。
