Abstract: (1078 Views)
Background: Growing evidence supports the integration of occupational health and safety and workplace health promotion approaches. However, the triggers and the methods for planning and implementing such approaches remain vastly unclear. This scoping review aimed to address this gap in the literature.
Methods: This review searched 43 databases (e.g. PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, all EBSCOhost databases). Of the 7,142 results identified initially, systematic screening protocols led to the inclusion of 13 articles meeting the objectives of this review.
Results: Of the 13 articles included, five focused on physical activity interventions. Ten articles first set specific work-related issues to be addressed. Five articles highlighted the necessity of understanding the influence of pre-existing knowledge in the interventions of integrated approaches and the heterogeneity of mental perceptions among workers. Five articles acknowledged that tailoring and flexibility of integrated approaches were key success factors, and nine articles reported the benefits of utilizing online platforms to implement integrated approaches.
Conclusion: Future integrated interventions should consider not only tailoring, flexibility, and delivery modality but also the appropriate level of outcome changes to suit the actual needs of workers. Intervention researchers should consider more consistently how to enhance intervention sustainability and scalability. Further research is also required on work-related issues other than physical activity.
