Health Promotion Interventions in Occupational Settings: Fact-finding Survey among Italian Occupational Physicians.

ABSTRACT:

Background

 Occupational Physicians (OPs) are essential for health promotion (HP) at the workplace, although their HP knowledge and perception are still under-searched.

Methods

Between September and December 2022, the Italian Society of Occupational Medicine (SIML) - HP working group performed a cross-sectional survey on SIML-OPs aimed to address their approach, experience, strategies, and needs concerning HP plans.

Results

A total of 336 OPs completed the questionnaire. Regarding HP's OP perception, this was reported as a social investment (34.45%) and shared responsibility for all the company's preventive figures (30.18%). Over half of the enrolled OPs declared to have been involved as HP plans' organizers (57.30%) or collaborators (54.80%) in the previous 5 years.
