Case Design

This article presents six implications for practice that suggest how to optimize the institutionalization of health promotion programs. These six implications were derived from a study of ten health promotion programs funded by the Virginia State Health Department and operated by local schools- and community health agencies. Institutionalization refers to the long-term survival of health promotion programs, i.e., survival well beyond an initial grant funding period. To generate the implications for practice, a multiple case design for cross-case comparisons was applied to the ten health promotion programs. In brief, the six practice implications are: 1) cultivating a “program champion”; 2) favoring organizations with mature “subsystems”; 3) favoring organizations in which health promotion “fits” with the organization's mission; 4) avoiding brokering relationships; 5) altering lengths of funding periods; and 6) funding existing worthy programs. The significance of these practice implications for both funding and implementing agencies is briefly discussed.

Title in Portuguese: Avaliação de políticas públicas no Brasil: Aspectos políticos e fortalecimento da atividadeAbstract: The evaluation of public policies in Brazil is still a developing process regarding conceptual and methodological aspects. Further research relating to this activity and the recognition of its importance would culminate in a deeper discussion about the evaluation process of public policies, as well as in the enhancement of the state management capacity. Utilizing a literature review, this study presents key concepts related to the subject of public policies, evaluates the political aspects about the policy cycle of public policies in Brazil, and examines the importance of strengthening the evaluation of public policies in the country.Resumo: A avaliação de políticas públicas no Brasil é uma área ainda incipiente do ponto de vista conceitual e metodológico. Acredita-se que o fortalecimento desta atividade e o reconhecimento de sua importância culminariam em uma maior preocupação e discussão a respeito do processo avaliativo de políticas públicas, além de um aprimoramento da capacidade de gestão do Estado. Com base em uma revisão bibliográfica, este trabalho apresenta conceitos-chave ligados ao tema das políticas públicas, avalia os aspectos políticos do ciclo da política pública no Brasil e examina a importância do fortalecimento da atividade de avaliação de políticas públicas no País.

Personnel Directors

Personnel directors of Texas state agencies were surveyed one month prior to and one year following the passage of the 1983 Texas State Employee Health Fitness and Education Act. This legislation allowed the agencies to use available funds and facilities for health promotion programs. Most of the personnel directors were aware of the Act and of the potential benefits of health promotion programs. There was general interest in learning more about health promotion, available community resources, and about the time and energy commitments in developing a program. Most believed they would implement programs in the future. In the year following the passage of the Act, 16 percent of the agencies, covering 30,852 employees, had received approval to begin programs. Size was positively related to plan development and approval. The results are discussed using diffusion theory.

Health And Safety Risks

Childcare workers are exposed to several health and safety risks in their work environment, the most common being infectious diseases, musculoskeletal injuries, accidents, and occupational stress. Pregnant childcare workers have an additional risk of potential harm to the fetus. Occupational health nurses can work collaboratively with childcare workers to reduce these risks and provide workplace health promotion programs. This article explores the occupational health and safety issues for childcare workers and suggests health promotion strategies that could be implemented by occupational health nurses working in this arena.

Purpose. To assess organizational and employee participation during three community-wide worksite exercise competitions in two communities. Design. A one-group, posttest-only design was used. Lack of controls, exercise baseline, and the short-term nature of the interventions were limitations. Setting. The Minnesota Heart Health Program conducted annual exercise campaigns between 1982 and 1989 within three intervention communities to reduce behavioral risk for cardiovascular disease. The Shape Up Challenge was a worksite exercise competition designed, in conjunction with other campaign activities, to increase levels of physical activity. Subjects. A total of 119 participating companies in two Minnesota communities, and 17,626 employees within these worksites, composed the subjects in this study. Intervention. Eligible worksites were invited to participate in a month-long competition during which employees recorded minutes spent daily in aerobic activities. Incentives were established to promote intragroup cooperation and intergroup competition. Companies competed for awards that were based on average minutes of exercise per employee versus per participant. Measures. Numbers of companies recruited and participating, campaign activities, minutes of exercise, and costs were recorded on implementation logs. Companies completed surveys describing business type, number and sex of employees, existing health promotion programs, and perceived benefits of participation. Results. Of the 365 companies invited to participate, 33 % participated (range 15 % to 50%). Participating companies were more likely than nonparticipating companies to offer other health promotion programs and perceived greater benefits from participation. Women and smaller companies had significantly greater participation rates than men and larger companies. Average employee participation rates ranged from as high as 84% in smaller organizations to as low as 16% as organization size increased. Conclusions. Community-based worksite exercise competitions appear to be a viable strategy for promoting employee exercise, particularly in smaller companies. Group-based contingencies applied in natural work units may facilitate employee participation. Further research is needed to assess the relative efficacy of this approach, compare alternative incentives, and identify strategies to enhance exercise maintenance after the intervention has ceased.
