Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Early Head Start (EHS) and Head Start (HS) staff comprise a large segment of the public sector workforce and experience numerous risk and chronic factors for medical conditions or symptoms. Few health and wellness workplace interventions, however, specifically focus on EHS/HS staff.
UNASSIGNED: A train-the-trainer (TTT) approach was used to build capacity among directors and staff from 57 EHS/HS programs on how to strategically plan and implement a health promoting worksite program focusing on improving nutrition and physical activity practices among EHS/HS staff. Baseline and 3-month post-training questionnaires assessed EHS/HS staff changes on knowledge and practices related to nutrition and physical activity. Paired t-tests or chi2 statistics assessed changes in questionnaire responses over time.
UNASSIGNED: 1,363 staff from 57 programs completed baseline and follow-up surveys. Staff had high knowledge regarding healthful dietary patterns at baseline. Over one-third of staff reported drinking soda with meals and almost 50% identified soda as their most common drink. Roughly one-third of staff also reported no physical activity in the prior week at baseline. Staff demonstrated significant improvements in dietary, nutrition, and physical activity practices. Staff also improved grocery shopping behaviors.
UNASSIGNED: The TTT approach to disseminate an EHS/HS staff-focused health promotion program, \"Eat Healthy, Stay Active!\' provides a potentially promising strategy to build upon and disseminate more broadly to reach the over >300,000 EHS/HS staff workforce.
摘要:
未经评估:早期先发(EHS)和先发(HS)员工占公共部门劳动力的很大一部分,并且经历了许多医疗状况或症状的风险和慢性因素。很少有健康和健康的工作场所干预措施,然而,特别关注EHS/HS员工。
UNASSIGNED:采用了培训师培训(TTT)方法,在57个EHS/HS计划的主管和员工中建立了如何战略性地计划和实施健康促进工作场所计划的能力,重点是改善EHS/HS员工的营养和身体活动实践。基线和3个月培训后问卷评估了EHS/HS员工在营养和身体活动相关知识和实践方面的变化。配对t检验或chi2统计数据评估了问卷答复随时间的变化。
UNASSIGNED:来自57个项目的1,363名工作人员完成了基线和后续调查。工作人员在基线时对健康饮食模式有很高的了解。超过三分之一的员工报告在用餐时喝苏打水,近50%的员工认为苏打水是他们最常见的饮料。大约三分之一的员工在基线前一周也没有身体活动。工作人员在饮食方面表现出显著的改善,营养,和身体活动实践。员工还改善了杂货店购物行为。
未经评估:TTT方法传播以EHS/HS员工为中心的健康促进计划,“吃得健康,保持活跃!\'提供了一个潜在的有前途的战略,以建立和传播更广泛地接触超过300,000EHS/HS员工队伍。
