Health Promotion Interventions

Promoting healthier lifestyles in people with intellectual disabilities is important in order to improve health and reduce health inequalities. Few studies have explored how health-promotion interventions for people with intellectual disabilities in community-based settings are experienced. The aim of this study was to explore residents’, staff members’ and rehabilitation professionals’ experiences of how a health-promotion intervention affected the habits of people living in a group home regarding eating habits and physical activities and staffs’ ways of working. Semi-structured group interviews were conducted with five residents, six staff members and five rehabilitation professionals. The group discussions were analysed with content analysis separately for each group. Four different categories described residents’, staff members’ and rehabilitation professionals’ views respectively. It is suggested that including people with intellectual disabilities as active parties throughout the process would facilitate implementation of a health-promotion profile in community residences.

Abstract A scoping review of studies on physical activity and nutrition health promotion interventions for individuals with intellectual disabilities was conducted. Searches included MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases from 1986 through July 2006. The final number included 11 articles comprising 12 studies. Generally, this review indicated some evidence for fitness and psychosocial benefits of community-based physical activity and exercise programs for adults with intellectual disabilities. When combined with a more comprehensive health behavior education program incorporating exercise and nutrition information, some evidence exists for reductions in weight.

Background: Regular physical activity is a corner stone for healthy living, and preventing the onset or progression of diseases. The Social Insurance Fund for Public Service, Railway and Mining Industries is building an intramural health promotion facility in Austria with the aim to provide a comprehensive evidence-based health promotion programme for their insured. The target group are all people who, regardless of their health status and the presence of diseases, are ready to make their lifestyle more health-oriented. The health promotion facility offers health promotion measures in five areas: promoting physical training, optimizing nutritional patterns, managing everyday stress, increasing social capital, and improving health literacy. The focus is on increasing resources and on overcoming barriers. Depending on age, previous illnesses, range of motion, stress level, body weight and personal aims and expectations, the measures are individually tailored. The stay is divided into a two-week initial stay and a follow-up week. A comprehensive scientific evaluation concept of all measures and the entire stay is an integral part of the design. Conclusion: This project combines the advantages of comprehensive active health promotion, and an intramural stay. It is a pioneering social insurance project for sustainable health promotion and integrated care.
