Efficacy of a brief worksite intervention to reduce smoking: The roles of behavioral and implementation intentions.

The effectiveness of worksite interventions to reduce smoking needs to be enhanced because randomized controlled trials to date have produced mixed findings. The present study tested the ability of social-cognitive variables to mediate the past behavior-future behavior relationship and the effectiveness of implementation intentions to break the past behavior-future behavior relationship in a brief theory-based worksite intervention designed to reduce smoking. Smoking behavior and psychosocial orientation to quit (operationalized by theory of planned behavior variables and temptations) were measured at baseline; participants (N=90) randomized to the experimental condition were also asked to form an implementation intention in their place of work. Identical measures taken 2 months postbaseline revealed that intention was a potent mediator of the past behavior-future behavior relationship. More important, significantly more people quit smoking in the experimental condition than in the control condition. Decomposition of these effects showed that implementation intentions worked best for individuals who were more motivated to quit at baseline and suggest that harnessing both motivational and volitional processes might enhance the effectiveness of worksite smoking cessation programs.

Art, wellness, and innovation: Heads up Kentucky! Puts psychology's contribution to healthy living in the public eye.

The Kentucky Psychological Association (KPA) Foundation is an organization that 2 years ago had little name recognition in its community or the state. In the past year, the KPA Foundation has contributed a major public art project to the city in which it resides, enhanced its financial assets, introduced educational material on the mind-body connection to public forums across the community, been the subject of feature articles in some of the community's major publications, taken health promotion curriculum to public elementary schools, and achieved national recognition for its public education campaign. This article describes the successful "Heads Up Kentucky!" campaign and the mobilization of the membership in the state's psychological association to make the fruits of psychological science accessible to members of the public.

Two books on stress management.

Reviews the books, Stress reduction and prevention, edited by Donald Meichenbaum and Matt E. Jaremko (1983) and Stress management: A comprehensive guide to wellness by Edward A. Charlesworth and Ronald G. Nathan (1982). These two books about applied stress management are strikingly different in tone, presentation, audience, and orientation. Meichenbaum and Jaremko have collected and edited a series of chapters on the applied work of outstanding researchers in the field. Charlesworth and Nathan, on the other hand, have prepared a handbook providing assessments and techniques for a stress management program, which is intended to be a practical tool for lay people and clinicians. The two books provide an interesting contrast between the state of the field as presented to fellow professions and as presented to the public.

Sense of place and mental wellness amongst African immigrants in Canada

This study examines the effects of self-perceived mental wellness and other socio-economic variables on sense of place amongst Ghanaian and Somali immigrants living in Hamilton, Ontario. Research results are based on the analysis of survey questionnaires (n = 236) of Ghanaian and Somali immigrant adults, with recent (0–5 years), mid-term (6–10 years), and long-term (more than 10 years) residency in Canada. Our findings revealed several significant factors of sense of place, including self-perceived mental wellness, income, age, employment, citizenship status, marital status, dwelling type, and length of residency in Canada. The findings highlight the need for research to incorporate sense of place into studies on visible minority immigrants and to focus on those factors contributing to place attachment amongst recent immigrants.     

A Smart Wellness Service Platform and Its Practical Implementation

Advances in the field of medical sciences and medical technology, and present-day challenges, such as an aging population, rising medical expenses, and lifestyle-related diseases, have collectively catalyzed a research ecosystem termed “smart wellness.” This article describes the establishment of a smart wellness service platform designed to empower individuals to create a sense of balance in their lives. Step-by-step details include service model, design, and architectural considerations. As a proof of concept, implementation details of a Health Improvement and Management Systems (HIMS) Hub, a Smart Wellness Service Platform deployed in six cities in South Korea, are presented. An on-site survey conducted in Busan Metropolitan City reveals the percentage of satisfied users to be 91.3%. Furthermore, data gathered from 27,236 physical evaluations of users from a Busan city center over the period of April 2013 to May 2018 reveal that males and females in their 50s and 60s account for the highest number of participants, while males in their 70s have a higher rate of participation than females in the same age group.

The Impact of Plant Phytochemicals on the Gut Microbiota of Humans for a Balanced Life

The gastrointestinal tract of humans is a complex microbial ecosystem known as gut microbiota. The microbiota is involved in several critical physiological processes such as digestion, absorption, and related physiological functions and plays a crucial role in determining the host’s health. The habitual consumption of specific dietary components can impact beyond their nutritional benefits, altering gut microbiota diversity and function and could manipulate health. Phytochemicals are non-nutrient biologically active plant components that can modify the composition of gut microflora through selective stimulation of proliferation or inhibition of certain microbial communities in the intestine. Plants secrete these components, and they accumulate in the cell wall and cell sap compartments (body) for their development and survival. These compounds have low bioavailability and long time-retention in the intestine due to their poor absorption, resulting in beneficial impacts on gut microbiota population. Feeding diets containing phytochemicals to humans and animals may offer a path to improve the gut microbiome resulting in improved performance and/or health and wellbeing. This review discusses the effects of phytochemicals on the modulation of the gut microbiota environment and the resultant benefits to humans; however, the effect of phytochemicals on the gut microbiota of animals is also covered, in brief.     

A worksite physical activity program and its association with biopsychosocial factors: An intervention study in a footwear factory

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a worksite physical activity program on psychophysiological and social factors.MethodsA worksite physical activity program included 1113 workers from a footwear factory in northeastern Brazil. The participants were classified based on their frequency of attendance in the program. The dependent variables were psychophysiological factors, including the relief of musculoskeletal pain, the improvement of physical and psychological well-being, perceived difficulty in performing tasks, and willingness to work; and social factors related to interpersonal relationships among employees. The obtained data were processed, and the analysis of the correlations between the variables was modeled using ordinal logistic regression.ResultsThe frequency of physical activity was a determining factor for the effectiveness of the intended outcomes for all analyzed variables. The participants who attended more weekly exercise sessions were twice as likely to experience relief of musculoskeletal pain, 74% more likely to report psychophysiological well-being, 30% less likely to have difficulties in performing tasks, and 87% more likely to perceive improved interpersonal relations.ConclusionsRegular physical activity is associated with consistent benefits for work dynamics and the health status of employees and effectively and rapidly improves the desired outcomes.Relevance to industryWorksite physical activity programs are used as strategies to prevent diseases and address complications caused by exposure to occupational risk factors. However, data on the effects of these interventions that consider the frequency of physical activity and work-related social factors are inconsistent.
