Due to the complexity of health promotion interventions, uneconomical evaluation indicators are recommended. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of multi-component workplace health promotion intervention. The goals were to study the association of health promotion with health status. In a controlled study trial, 278 workers of primary schools and municipal administration had the chance to participate in six-month workplace health promotion program. Employees have fulfilled a questionnaire at baseline and then again after completion of the program. The results showed that in the test group, the incidence of problems with health significantly declined, but the rating of health status decreased and the average absence days increased over time. The higher working hours per week correlated to obesity and high blood pressure. It can be concluded that workplace health promotion activity could support a change in health status and therefore contribute to higher quality of life.

Posyandu activities need to get support from all parties. Posyandu aims to support government programs in improving the health status of the community, especially mothers and children. Posyandu activities are organized by village midwives and help by village cadres. Without the support of all parties including stakeholders and the beneficiary community, Posyandu activities are difficult to succeed. This program includes the provision of standard posyandu equipment, the provision of educational game facilities for children, additional feeding, and health promotion. Program activities are carried out through a number of strategies. Finally, the success and sustainability of the program on the support of all parties.Abstrak. Kegiatan Posyandu perlu mendapat dukungan dari semua pihak. Posyandu bertujuan untuk mendukung program Pemerintah dalam peningkatan status kesehatan masyarakat khususnya Ibu dan anak.

Program kegiatan dilakukan melalui sejumlah strategi. Akhirnya, keberhasilan dan keberlanjutan program atas dukungan kerjasama semua pihak.

AimHealth education programs that address risk factors for depression and promote positive mental health are approaches that can improve mental wellbeing. We investigated the effectiveness of a health promotion program for reducing levels of depression, anxiety and stress and for promoting appropriate help-seeking behaviour.MethodsFifty-five adults 55+years (43 female, 12 male) self-selected to attend the Healthy & Wise program - a group-based, 8 × 2hr session health-literacy program for promoting positive physical, mental and social functioning in a rural setting. A questionnaire was administered at base-line and post-intervention which included the DASS-21 to measure depression, anxiety and stress levels.ResultsNo significant change in depression scores (mean = 3.60pre-3.51post). Anxiety scores increased (mean 2.92pre-3.51post) (p = .036) correlating with age (p = .029) and change in physical health status (p = .002).Stress scores increased (mean 4.81pre-5.59post) (p = .05) correlating with age (p = .033) and change in physical health status (p = .016).Most participants (pre = 96.36%, post = 98%) indicated they would be likely to seek help from a GP if depressed. Men who mainly rely on their spouse for support were more likely to seek help from a psychologist or psychiatrist (p = .038).ConclusionsThere was no significant change in DASS-21 scores for depression. There was an increase in anxiety and stress levels which may be attributable to older participants experiencing a decline in physical health during the program. Participants remained firm in their preference for seeking help from their GP for depression. Further evaluation is needed to determine whether: at-risk-populations need to be targeted; the intervention has an impact at 12-month follow-up.
