Participants' Perceptions of Worksite Health-Promotion Educational Activities

Adults spend a significant amount of time at work making the worksite a convenient venue for participation in health-promotion activities. This research project examined participants' perceptions of gaining knowledge and changing health behavior practices as a result of knowledge gained through participation in health-promotion activities provided at the worksite. The worksite health-promotion activities were offered as a result of an innovative collaboration effort between nursing faculty in an academic setting and a community partner in the private sector. The findings demonstrate that participation in health-promotion activities at the worksite can result in increased knowledge and changes in health behavior practices as a result of knowledge gained.
