Synopsis Promoting Health and Well-being in the Workplace by : Margaret Hodgins
The workplace is where almost two thirds of adults spend almost two thirds of their waking time. Though traditional, statutorily-driven approaches to risk management have been demonstrably effective in reducing the number of injuries and sickness in recent years, psychological and physical health issues are still rife in the modern-day workforce. Work-related sickness and injury absence, and the economic cost implications of such, are having a detrimental effect not just on employees and employers, but on the wider community. Written by a team of experts from across academia and practice settings, this engaging new book argues that employer organizations must work collaboratively with employees in order to create working environments that promote health for all. With a sharp focus on applying theory to practice, the book uses real-life examples from areas across the globe to encourage readers to think contextually. Key topics covered include: - Work-life balance, including issues of workload and the 'long hours culture' - The impact of work-related musculoskeletal disorders - The nature, scale and causes of work-related stress - The significance of corporate social responsibility in employee wellness. Aligned with global frameworks, this comprehensive text provides both students and qualified professionals with a solid foundation for practice, and a rich source of material for discussion.

Synopsis Empowerment of Women for Promoting Health and Quality of Life by : Snehendu B. Kar
Empowerment of Women for Promoting Health and Quality of Life critically reviews the key theoretical and empirical foundations and policy options for Global Public Health (GPH). The author presents the lessons learned from a meta-analysis of 80 self-organized, successful women's empowerment case studies across the world that have enhanced the health and well-being of their families and communities. The information gleaned offers rare opportunities for understanding what works, how women empower themselves, and how others--professionals included--can help. Additionally, Dr. Kar designs an "EMPOWER" model for empowerment of women for GPH and human development. Using an ecological perspective, the model defines the domains, dimensions, and processes of empowerment, and is applied to a community-based women's empowerment-for-health-promotion initiative. The implications for empowerment and GPH policy, practice, and research are also discussed.

Synopsis Prevention Issues for Women's Health in the New Millennium by : Wendee Wechsberg
Where are the fields of prevention and health promotion for women headed? This valuable book illuminates the need for-and the gains that can be achieved by-targeting prevention/health promotion programs toward minority and low-income women in the communities where they live. Reflecting the rise of women’s health issues to a national priority in the last decade, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium explores the individual and contextual factors-biological, sociocultural, economic, and environmental-that affect the quality and length of women’s lives. It examines current research on disease prevention and the need for health promotion, particularly with minority and hard-to-reach women, and suggests directions for future investigation. Rather than generalizing or pontificating, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium looks up close at specific studies designed to answer questions such as: What kinds of health promotion programs could make the biggest difference in the lives of Native American women, today and tomorrow? How effective are cancer education/support programs for rural women, and what can be done to improve their efficacy? How does sexual orientation influence women’s patterns of health-related behavior? How can female substance abusers lessen the distress issues that often bring on risky behavior? How can we more effectively reach African-American women, who are twice as likely as Caucasian women to develop diabetes, hypertension, and stroke? Well referenced and complete with user-friendly tables that make the statistics of each study easy to work with, Prevention Issues for Women’s Health in the New Millennium brings you an incisive look at issues that will become prevention priorities in the near future.
