Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: We conducted focus group discussions on cleaning workers who have participated as health leaders in vulnerable workers’ health promotion program in order to determine their experiences and perceptions as health leaders.
Methods: A total of six cleaning workers participated in the focus group discussions. We performed the focus group discussions in accordance with the semi-structured guideline developed through the reviews of major prior studies and researchers’ discussions. The contents of the discussion and the notes recorded by the researchers were analyzed using content analysis.
Results: A total of 103 codes were categorized into the categories as follows: “Health status of cleaner workers,” “A positive impression of the health promotion program,” “Experiences participating in the health promotion program,” and “Improvement of health promotion program.” Participants persuaded their colleagues to participate program. However, participants’ perception of the leader was lacking. They wanted a variety of health education and hoped that the program would run for longer. They also noted that the health promotion program should be applied to other apartment workers and should be persuaded with the effects of the program.
Conclusion: This study could reveal the health management status of the cleaning workers, and it could be understood the implications and direction when the health promotion program was carried out for the cleaning workers. However, it will be necessary to educate the participants to recognize their role as health leaders, to evaluate them, and then to improve the deficiencies and carry out the program.
