Description

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the development of industrial nursing activities based on a health promotion philosophy on changes in the risk factors for life-style related diseases over seven years. The subjects (n=271) were male employees (39.1±9.5 years. at baseline) of a newspaper company which had two different styles of nursing activities. The printing factory group (n=88) had the first preventive promotion, while the headquarters group (n=183) had the second preventive promotion. The headquarters group showed a small improvement in drinking habits but no further improvement in smoking and exercise habits. The printing factory group showed a small improvement in their exercise habits. On checking the increase in risk factors including BMI (body mass index), GPT, γ-GTP, total-cholesterol, triglycerides and HbA1c, the printing factory group showed significantly smallerincreases than the headquarters group (p<0.05-0.001). These results suggest that the application ofnursing activities based upon health promotion principles were effective in leading to a decrease in the riskfactors of life-style related diseases.
