“…Therefore, many intervention studies have been published to address these problems. However, researches have shown that health programs developed by researchers induce short-term, temporary changes in knowledge and behavior [5]. One reason is that the health-promotion programs for improving public health have been mainly developed in researcher-centered studies based on a natural science paradigm utilizing standardized objective scales, with the purposes of identifying precise laws to explain, predict, and control a phenomenon and of applying and generalizing these laws [6].…”

This study developed and evaluated a health management program based on the participant-centered concept of action research to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among blue collar workers. Data from structured questionnaires completed by 32 workers in a small-to-medium sized workplace from September 2015 to October 2016 as well as participants’ anthropometrical (weight and waist) and biological (blood pressure, glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol) data were analyzed using paired t-test and Fisher’s exact test. To examine the longitudinal effect of the intervention, survival analysis and linear mixed model (LMM) were used. There was an improvement in participants’ self-regulation in maintaining health-promoting behaviors, body weight, blood pressure, and HDL cholesterol following the intervention. Furthermore, the effects of the health management program continued even after the program ended. These findings suggest that the health management program developed in this study could be effective in reducing CVD risk factors among workers in small-to-medium sized workplaces and should be applied to other small-to-medium sized workplaces to foster health-promoting behaviors.

“…This indicates that spontaneous self-management actions based on the content of the WBSM program led to reductions in FBS and TGL levels. Although there have been many reports on the results of specified intervention programs designed to give detailed advice about achieving lifestyle habits for workers [ 20 , 22 , 26 , 27 ], the WBSM program targeting metabolic parameters was effective for traditional retail market workers, as shown by the reductions in FBS and TGL levels, and follow-up visits encouraged traditional retail market workers to implement actions for improvements, leading to a sustainable effect.…”

“…There have recently been changes in intervention programs to drive workers to take the initiative in workplaces, relying on voluntary self-help actions for developing practical ideas to obtain immediate improvements [ 18 ]. Nevertheless, these were one-time interventions applied in groups [ 21 , 22 , 25 ]. The WBSM program targeting metabolic parameters for traditional retail market workers is an individual level that helps individuals self-assess their health problems.…”

“…Action checklists have been widely developed for workers of small to medium enterprises, agricultural facilities, construction sites, and informal economy workplaces. They have also been applied in participatory intervention programs for work-related musculoskeletal diseases [ 16 , 17 ], mental health [ 18 ], needle sticks [ 19 ], MetS [ 20 , 21 ], and cardiovascular disease [ 22 ]. However, no action checklist tailored to modify metabolic parameters for traditional retail market workers has been developed or applied in a self-managed intervention program.…”

(1) Background: This study explored the effects of a worksite-based self-management program on metabolic parameters in traditional retail market workers during a 3-year period. (2) Methods: Seventy traditional retail market workers who completed 3 years of follow-up were included in this study. The worksite-based self-management program was developed to help traditional retail market workers manage metabolic parameters themselves based on the following content: (I) using a metabolic syndrome action checklist, (II) counseling, (III) creating improvement action plans, and (IV) evaluating implemented improvements. (3) Results: The rates of implemented improvements showed success. Fasting blood sugar and triglycerides showed yearly reductions from baseline for 3 years, which eventually led to a decreased metabolic syndrome score and maintenance of metabolic parameters in the normal range for 3 years. (4) Conclusions: A worksite-based self-management program on metabolic parameters in traditional retail market workers was effective. It improved their intention to self-assess and cope their health problems and eventually decreased their metabolic syndrome score. It should be considered for the primary prevention of metabolic syndrome among traditional retail market workers.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to apply participatory action-oriented training (PAOT) principle for the management of metabolic syndrome and to assess its effectiveness in the workplace. Methods: The metabolic syndrome management program applying participatory action-oriented training (PAOT) principle is constructed action checklist, Group discussion, self-creation of an action plan, after 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, the practice carried out check up and encourage practice activity. Results: The seventy-seven workers who participated in the metabolic syndrome management program made a total of 246 action plans, 3.8 action plans per person and 234 action plans were achieved after one year, so that 81.0% of action plans have been achieved. After 1 year, in the intervention group, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI), the risk factors score decreased statistically significant, and metabolic syndrome prevalence decreased 54.8%. whereas the control group also showed a significant decreased in the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the risk factors score. but, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was significantly increased. Conclusions: To improve the effectiveness of metabolic syndrome management program applying participatory action-oriented training (PAOT) principle, the need to continues implementing programs and analysis of the long-term effects are required. Participatory action-oriented training (PAOT) principle can applying without cost and time, the human burden for the prevention and management of chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome.
