Oregon Healthy WorkLife Center

描述（由申请人提供）：俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）和波特兰州立大学（PSU）提出了俄勒冈州健康工作生活中心（ORhwc），NIOSH卓越中心，与合作伙伴凯撒永久健康研究中心（波特兰）和俄勒冈州大学的劳动教育和研究中心（LERC）。ORhwc的主题是干预有效性，重点是基于团队和技术的干预措施，以促进和保护健康。这些干预措施与一个概念模型相关联，该模型预测它们将导致心理过程的变化，这些心理过程是行为变化的中介-特别关注改善社会支持和减少工作压力-这反过来又会产生更好的生活方式选择，更安全的工作实践，以及更好的心理和身体健康。3个研究项目是：“健康促进干预，以减少健康风险的惩教人员”，“创造健康和安全的“实践社区”的家庭护理工作者”，“基于团队的工作生活和安全干预的建筑工人”; 2个翻译项目是：“健康促进和健康保护的年轻工人“，监督员培训，以促进健康/安全的建筑（拉丁美洲？拉丁裔）。“这三个研究项目结合了联合收割机经证实的和新颖的干预方法，而两个转化项目”包装“了经证实的干预方法，可扩大到区域或国家一级。这些项目使用重叠的干预战略（自变量）和共同措施来证明其有效性。该中心将创建一个数据库，其中包括存放在数据存储库中的所有项目数据，以便在ORhwc内部和外部共享，从而可以在项目之间进行比较。一个杰出的外部咨询委员会将指导和评估ORhwc。互动教育计划将补充研究，研究结果将通过ORhwc的外联活动广泛传播。 公共卫生相关性：五个俄勒冈州健康工作生活中心的研究和翻译项目实施干预措施，在工作场所提供健康促进和健康保护。这些项目都采用了培训和技术改进，以产生可扩展和广泛共享的健康和安全变化。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and Portland State University (PSU) propose the Oregon Healthy WorkLife Center (ORhwc), a NIOSH Center of Excellence, with partners Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research (Portland) and the University of Oregon's Labor Education and Research Center (LERC). The ORhwc's theme is Intervention Effectiveness, focused on team-based and technology-based interventions to promote and protect health. These interventions are linked to a conceptual model that predicts they will lead to changes in psychological processes that are mediators of behavior change- focused particularly on improved social support and reduced job stress-that will in turn produce improved lifestyle choices, safer work practices, and better psychological and physical health. The 3 research projects are: "Health promotion intervention to reduce health risks among Correctional officers," "Creating health and safety "Communities of Practice" for Home Care workers," "Team-based WorkLife and safety intervention for construction workers;" the 2 translational projects are: "Health promotion and health protection in young workers, "Supervisor training to promote health/safety in construction (Latino?Latino)." The 3 research projects combine proven and novel intervention methods, while the 2 translational projects 'package' proven intervention methods to be scaled for regional or national delivery. The projects use overlapping intervention strategies (independent variables) and common measures to demonstrate their effectiveness. The Center will create a database comprised of all project data housed in a data repository for sharing within and outside the ORhwc, allowing comparisons across projects. A distinguished external advisory committee will guide and evaluate the ORhwc. Interactive education programs will complement the research, and results will be broadly disseminated by ORhwc's outreach. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Five Oregon Healthy WorkLife Center research and translation projects implement interventions that provide both health promotion and health protection at the workplace. These projects all employ training and technology enhancements to produce health and safety changes that can be scaled and shared broadly.
