Such an evaluation will examine factors such as program participation, specific health outcomes, and the satisfaction levels of participants (Mulvihill 2003). Once these outcomes are fully understood the appropriate actions can be taken to ensure that the benefits of the program continue and the aspects of the program that need correction are remedied (Mulvihill 2003).
Obstacles to ellness Program Participation

Although wellness programs are extremely positive, there are some obstacles attached to such programs. For instance, in some cases it is difficult to get employees to participate in such programs. The reason for the hesitancy is fear. This fear arises when employees feel that a health screening might reveal ailments such as diabetes and their jobs may be jeopardized. Basically, many employees believe that their medical information will be given to employers and been used to deny them job promotion.

To overcome this particular obstacle it is important that organizations ensure the…...

Wellness Program at Work
Wellness programs at work

Healthy workforce is a productive workforce (Bray & Bray, 2009). Healthy employees can give more attention to their job responsibilities, work more dedicatedly, and devote themselves whole heartedly to their organization (Duncan, 2008). On the other hand, unhealthy employees are not able to give their best at the workplace due to the negative impacts on their health caused by their unhealthy living habits and lifestyles (Cooper, 1994).

To encounter this issue, organizations arrange different types of Workplace Health Care and Wellness Program at the workplace (Healey & Walker, 2009). These wellness programs bring a significant change in the lives of employees by communicating them the benefits of a healthy life style and the negative impacts of the unhealthy habits (Cooper, 1994). They convince the unhealthy employees to adopt the healthy living habits that ultimately contribute towards an increased organizational productivity (Duncan, 2008).

Wellness/Prevention Programs and Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise can not only increase overall wellness of participants, but may also prevent or reduce serious complications from disease and acute injuries. A direct link between exercise and its effects on wellness and disease prevention has been revealed through various studies related to health and physiology. Therapeutic exercise can not only help patients recover more swiftly from acute injury, but can also prevent serious illness and degeneration in otherwise normal youths and adults. Therapeutic exercise can also increase gains and outlook for patients suffering from chronic diseases, or even more importantly, contribute to disease prevention. The link between therapeutic exercise and wellness/prevention programs is explored further below.

Therapeutic exercise has been shown to directly benefit victims of acute illness and injury. A recent study of stroke patients who received a structured and progressive therapeutic exercise programs as part of their treatment protocol revealed much quicker recovery…...

While two of the three websites provides options for breaking news regarding health and wellness, one of the websites also has scope for reacting to the news in the forms of podcasts and blogs.

The United Healthcare website has detailed news section where the viewer would be able to see the news that is related to health and fitness. The section has news releases that are important to the issues till the present month. Some of the topics that have been listed in the news section include topics like various Medicare plans and their advantages, the lower doctor visit payments for members of the project in North Carolina and other health care programs.

This is problematic, because it is not motivating patients enough to make changes to their lifestyle.
Describe how you would improve the wellness and prevention marketing program.

To improve the health and wellness program at the hospital requires, increasing coordination within the community. Where, you are focused on offering the public alternative lifestyle choices. One way that this can be accomplished is working with: schools, senior citizens organizations and non-profits to support a host of initiatives that will promote healthy lifestyle choices. For example, Massachusetts General could promote various events that can encourage everyone to engage in physical activity. This could be accomplished through having the hospital work with: various professional and amateur athletes to help support these programs. Where, they could sponsor a host of events (such as: walk a thons) to encourage everyone to remain active. To market this program, the hospital could have a series of public service…...

Wellness Book ReviewSummaryThe key points made in Arloskis (2007) Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change are that wellness is determined by lifestyle, psychology, and principles. In order to promote wellness, a coach must be an ally of the individual and promote lifestyle changes that facilitate wellness objectives. The book covers everything from defining wellness to models of wellness to the role that preventive health plays in wellness, how to coach wellness, why a wellness coach should seek out coaching, how to implement a lifestyle improvement model, how to create a wellness map, and how health and medical coaching contribute to wellness coaching. The book covers so much ground in short order that it really does serve as a good primer on how to think about wellness coaching.Arloski explains that choice of lifestyle is what determines or affects ones heath more than anything else. Health information can provided people with details…...

wellness paradigm I created that has capabilities, process, motivation, and rewards within a pie chart, shows how the human spirit can rise from its low point of depression and unhealthiness to joy and good health. There are several stages in order to get from that miserable point A to the satisfied and optimistic point B. But first, it is important to examine what the word wellness means. Organizations and people use the word "wellness" within a disease framework. This means using promotion of wellness in order to prevent or reduce health risks and disease. However, as time have changed, wellness began to take a different form. Wellness currently takes on the shape of inspiring people to be well instead of simply following protocols to reduce or prevent disease.
The three key wellness concepts are the notion that wellness should go beyond basic prevention, in order to achieve wellness, one must…...

Culture and the ellness heel
The ways that people respond to illness and potential treatments is individual. Some people will clamor for medical attention at the slightest hint of fever or sneezes that happen at too close an interval. Others will do everything in their power to avoid seeking medical aid even when they are bleeding profusely or hallucinating because of a high level of infection. Reasons why people react the way they do to illness or injury has a lot to do with the way in which that person was raised. Those that are dealt with by hypochondriac parents will, in turn, become worried adults. Similarly, those that are raised to deal with illness at home will usually be adults with similar perspectives. In many instances, the culture in which a person was reared will have a high degree of influence on the adult that the child becomes. For example,…...

Wellness offers a person a philosophy that supports healthy lifestyle habits that have positive effects on quality of life. The habits can be humor, philosophy, and spirituality which can replace stress with harmony, anger with peace, despair with hope, and isolation with community (Swarbrick, 2010).

People need to make decisions to the point of where they want to be in their life. It is important to understand that counseling a person to determine whether the profession they are trying to enter is right for them or not. Not every person can work in the same environment as another person, not every person has the same values as another person, and this makes us individuals and forces the need of career counseling.

Sugars, processed foods, among others are all foods that have a negative impact on the body's health and thus, I have learned to stay away from them. I know, through education as well as my family, that these foods can lead to potential health problems like diabetes and heart problems and even, when ingested in mass quantity can potentially lead to death.

Nursing Assessment

After interviewing the Finkelstein family, I found there were issues in the physical areas such as in Values, health perception, Nutrition, Activity/Exercise and Sleep/est with the exception of Elimination. However, the psychological areas such as Cognitive, Sensory-Perception, Self-Perception, ole elationship, Sexuality, and Coping were extremely functional among three people excluding the father. I feel that that health issues or the physical state of this family is due to a lack of focus and coming together as a family. The ages in this family range between 39 to 5 months, leaving the father at 39, the mother at 36, the son at 5, and the daughter 5 months old. Individually, they are aware of themselves but they do not pay attention to one another as a group. Among a family of four, they are close but they lack quality time together with exception of watching television. Therefore, my assessment of…...

Professional Capstone: Dimensions to WellnessIntroductionFrom the onset, it should be noted that various dimensions to wellbeing have been highlighted in nursing and medical literature. Some of the said dimensions are inclusive of, but they are not limited to, the physical dimension, the mental/emotional dimension, the spiritual dimension, the social dimension, the environmental dimension, the financial dimension, and the environmental dimension. This write-up concerns itself with these dimensions to wellbeing. Amongst other things, it discusses whether the dimensions are interrelated and the perspective of the society in as far as the dimensions to wellness are concerned.DiscussionPart 1The physical dimension happens to be the most focused on dimension of wellness in the healthcare realm. According to Murray and Clendon (2010), the physical dimension relates to the bodily aspect of health (117). As the authors further point out, the physical dimension encompasses the long held viewpoint of wellness as the absence injury and…...

Review of Chapter One from Introduction to Wellness, Fitness, and Lifestyle Management As the nation continues to struggle to recover from the ongoing Covid-19 virus pandemic, the concept of wellness has assumed new importance and relevance. Furthermore, until just a century or so ago, humans were far less concerned about the concept of wellness over the lifespan simply because they died much younger than most people do today. In sharp contrast, though, children born today have a reasonably good chance of living into their hundreds, assuming the current pandemic is resolved in the foreseeable future. Against this backdrop, it is important to develop a better understanding concerning the fundamental factors that contribute to human wellness. To this end, the purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic review of chapter one from Introduction to Wellness, Fitness and Lifestyle Management. Following the review, a summary of the research and key findings…...

Wellness and Fitness Market Wellness and fitness has become one of the big, booming businesses in the United States because of the increased focus on being healthy and well. According to Kirkman (2017), the global wellness market grew by 10.6% between 2013 and 2015 at a time when the global economy decreased by 3.6%. America is ranked as the number one market for different wellness and fitness products or services. In light of this, the new non-profit organization in the city of Portland is likely to experience increased profitability across its operations. The target market for this new non-profit organization is obese African American adolescents who account for a significant portion of Boise Eliot Elementary School population. The high population of obese adolescents provide a suitable target market for the organization to achieve its objectives of conquering obesity among adolescents in this city. When operating in this region, the new non-profit…...

Conclusion

It is recommended that Sea Island should implement a corporate wellness program in order to gain the advantages that come with the program. These include cost savings on health insurance, increased job satisfaction levels which decrease absenteeism and employee turnover and increase employee productivity. The program should be designed to be culturally sensitive and should be tailored for the workplace environment in the company in order to include all members of the organization despite their background, history or other cultural aspects that can create barriers to participation in the program.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory that suggests that people have different levels of needs. They cannot focus on higher needs until their lower needs are met. This hierarchy has applications in many areas of life, so you can find a ton of articles on the theory.

In Maslow’s theory, needs ascend in the following order

• Physiological needs
• Safety needs
• Love and social belonging needs
• Esteem needs
• Cognitive needs
• Aesthetic needs
• Self-actualization (added later in expanded needs)
• Transcendence (added later in expanded needs)

Until a person has met their lower needs they do not have the resources to focus on meeting higher needs.
