Abstract(s)
Introduction & Objective: The current perspective of healthy workplaces implies
reinventing new approaches to the relationships between health and work, emphasizing
it as a health-promoting agent. Thus, welfare programmes have emerged
that include best practices in occupational health. The aim of this study is to present
the data gathered on the effectiveness of health promotion programmes in the
workplace, through an integrative review.
Methodology: Integrative review of the literature according to the Whittemore
and Knafl methods, based on English and Portuguese literature published between
2010 and 2019 in the Medline (via PubMed) and EBSCO databases. Grey literature
collection was based on searches in the Open Access Scientific Repositories of
Portugal and Google Scholar. Studies with experimental, quasi-experimental and
descriptive design were included.
Results: A total of 57 studies were extracted, in which 98% of the programmes
were included in the generation of well-being, namely programmes focused on
disease management, treatment of chronic diseases, lifestyle management or
prevention of chronic diseases. Most of the programmes showed positive results,
since participants decreased body weight, blood pressure, cholesterol level, glycaemia,
tobacco consumption, sedentarism and stress level, and increased the level
of knowledge, confidence, physical activity, overall health and consumption of
healthy food.
Conclusion: The results of this study are of potential interest for health professionals
and policy-makers, as they provide valuable information for the design of new
strategies to promote the health of employees.
