The impact of a comprehensive worksite health promotion program on employee absenteeism in a large metropolitan school district was evaluated. Participants in the program (n = 3,846) did not differ from nonparticipants (n = 8,290) in age or sex distributions. Program participants improved their physical fitness, body composition, coronary risk factors, and overall feeling of well-being. Absenteeism was determined for the study year and for the previous year from records in the district personnel office. Absenteeism differences were evaluated by analysis of covariance by using age, sex, ethnic group, and the previous year's absenteeism as covariates. Participants who completed the health promotion program had an average of 1.25 days less absenteeism (P less than 0.0001) during the study year than nonparticipants. Regression analyses indicated that improvement in physical fitness was associated with less absenteeism. The results suggest that a reduction in absenteeism due to the health promotion program was possibly associated with an improvement in physical fitness.
对一个大型都市学区中一项全面的工作场所健康促进计划对员工缺勤率的影响进行了评估。该计划的参与者(n = 3846)在年龄或性别分布上与非参与者(n = 8290)没有差异。计划参与者改善了他们的身体素质、身体成分、冠心病危险因素以及总体幸福感。根据学区人事办公室的记录确定了研究年度和上一年度的缺勤情况。通过将年龄、性别、种族以及上一年度的缺勤情况作为协变量进行协方差分析来评估缺勤差异。在研究年度,完成健康促进计划的参与者的缺勤天数平均比非参与者少1.25天(P < 0.0001)。回归分析表明,身体素质的改善与缺勤率降低有关。结果表明,由于健康促进计划导致的缺勤率降低可能与身体素质的改善有关。
