• Lead Sponsor: University of Maryland, Baltimore

Brief Summary

The goal of this proposed study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of worksite wellness program designed to reduce worker stress (job and personal) and improve cardiovascular disease among long-term care workers. We also aim to test if increasing wellness behaviors in staff will translate to increased wellness behaviors in residents due to positive role modeling.

Detailed Description

This is a cluster randomized control trial (staff n=246 and resident n=180) implemented in six long-term care worksites. Three sites will be randomized to the WHHIP-PLUS \& FFC and three sites will be randomized to the education-only.

The intervention occurs over 12 months and measures will be collected at three timepoints. We will test treatment fidelity as well as if our intervention improves Life's Simple 7 scores and reduces stress levels among long-term care workers and increases physical activity among residents.
