“…Efforts to increase participation in health promotion programs have included attending to organizational climate and personal health characteristics (Sloan, 1988), increasing health promotion awareness, providing supportive environments (Selleck, 1989), analyzing organizational productivity, evaluating employee well being (Heerwagen, 1995), informing workers of health resources (Cloetta, 1992), and involving workers in program planning (Green, 1988).

Health conception and health promotion behaviors were measured in 160 blue collar workers ages 18 to 65, focusing on factors influencing blue collar workers' participation in health promotion programs. Results of LatTrey's Health Conception Scale (LHCS) and Pender's Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) indicated: • Health responsibility and interpersonal support were significantly greater for women than for men. • Exercise was significantly greater for younger workers than for older workers. • Nutrition was significantly greater for older workers than for younger workers. • Health conception was significantly greater for younger women and for older men. • A significant relationship exists between health conception and health promoting lifestyle.

“…A vital aspect of program planning and development is marketing the product. Marketing is considered a "critical component of program development" (Selleck, 1989).

D evelopment of continuing education (CE) programs for occupational health nurses is integral to professional development, including requirements for certification and, in some states, relicensure. Because their role is evolving, occupational health nurses are constantly required to increase and upgrade skills.

Examples included illness and emergency treatment , health risk counseling, workers' compensation referral, monitoring and follow up, health assessment examinations, and early return to work assistance for employees. When asked to identify what they envisioned as the role of occupational health nurses in the future, the respondents offered a somewhat different perspective. The focus was on analyzing health trends, managing effective programs, curtailing health care costs, identifying problems, and proposing solutions (Lusk, 1990). Barlow (1992), who offered a "perspective view" of the occupational health nurse's role in the year 2000, cited several factors that will influence the role: These factors include how occupational health nurses continue to execute their scope of practice ; how their
