“…As nurses differed in their perceived stress levels and well-being, their study highlights the creation of WHP interventions, which are specifically geared toward individual target groups [ 112 ]. However, a qualitative interview study with seven managers from outpatient care services in Germany shows that WHP measures are accepted by employees, but there is no structured health management strategy in place [ 113 ], which makes the implementation of WHP interventions challenging [ 114 ]. Moreover, staff shortages and a lack of skills could also hamper the implementation of WHP interventions [ 50 ].…”

Due to ongoing demographic changes, the need for care is increasing in Germany. The number of outpatient care services is also rising, and with it, the number of employees in outpatient care, who are also continuously becoming older. Workplace health promotion (WHP) becomes relevant in this context, as it can reduce negative strain reactions and promote employees’ health. The aim of this study was (1) to reveal implemented WHP interventions in German outpatient care services; (2) to examine the potential challenges regarding a successful implementation of WHP measures; and (3) to illuminate further requests and needs experienced by outpatient careworkers. In qualitative field research, 30 semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with German caregivers, using the problem-centered interview method. The collected data were deductively and inductively evaluated and interpreted, using qualitative content analysis according to Mayring. Outpatient caregivers reported various WHP measures known from their workplaces, such as the provision of fruit baskets, programmes to increase physical activity, or a subsidy for a personal gym. They further reported WHP, such as back training, known from other care services. However, the respondents spoke of the challenges regarding the implementation or the use of WHP interventions in general. The most frequently named barriers were a lack of time after work and interventions that were only offered in their leisure time. In the same course, the participants still needed offers to increase physical activity, joint activities, or relaxation techniques. However, respondents highlighted that they preferred the interventions to take place during working hours. This way, they would also be more likely to take advantage of the interventions. The results of this study provide an insight into various WHP measures that already exist, or that are desirable for implementation with regard to caregivers’ needs. Subjectively perceived challenges for a successful implementation of WHP measures represent the importance of adjustments in the work organization of caregivers. It becomes clear that WHP is not yet established in the ambulant care sector, although it appears to be imperative for keeping caregivers healthy. Considering the different needs of employees, the results can provide a basis for the development of needs-based health promotion measures for caregivers.

“…Furthermore, from the perspective of many nurses, it does not seem consistent or "honestly meant" by the employer to offer behavioral preventive WHP activities, but at the same time not be able to reduce the burden in the everyday workday (Krupp et al, 2020). Factors such as the small size of the company (short distances, personal ties, and direct contact), lack of economic pressure, personal approach, and opportunities for participation seem to have a positive effect on participation in WHP in outpatient care service (Kahnt et al, 2020).…”

BackgroundThere is evidence for the positive effects of workplace health promotion (WHP) for nurses. Although this highly stressed target group also actively desires WHP, the number of participants is low. Individual reasons play a role in the decision to engage in WHP activities, yet it is interesting to consider which organizational factors a company could address to improve participation. In this regard, the question arises of what organizational factors facilitate participation in WHP activities from the perspective of nurses in inpatient care facility (ICF), outpatient care service (OCS), and acute care hospitals (ACH).MethodSixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted in different care settings between May and September 2021. Questions about everyday working life, WHP activities, and organizational framework conditions were asked.ResultThe results show that there is a wide range of influencing factors at the organizational level, some overall settings, and others setting-specific. High workload and the fit of WHP activities with shift times were particularly inhibiting overall settings. A negative association with the employer worked as a barrier in ICF and ACH.ConclusionWhen implementing WHP activities, it can be useful to consider organizational facilitators and barriers to promote sustainable and attractive WHP activities and higher participation rates in the different settings of nursing.

Zusammenfassung Die Pflege befindet sich nicht erst seit der COVID-19-Pandemie in einer (Personal-)Krise, vielmehr wirkt diese wie ein Brennglas, das den Personalmangel in der Pflege noch weiter verschärft und das bisherige Ausmaß für eine breite Öffentlichkeit sichtbar macht. Im Zuge der Krisenbewältigung wird den Leitungspersonen der Einrichtungen pflegerischer Versorgung eine hohe Bedeutung als Krisenmanager*innen zugeschrieben, auch wenn diese oftmals nur als Krisenverwalter*innen agieren können: Die Handlungsintensität des Managements ist hoch, dennoch scheinen die eingesetzten Personalgewinnungsmaßnahmen nicht branchenweit zu greifen. In unserem Beitrag beziehen wir uns zur theoretischen Einordnung auf das Konzept der Risikopolitik. Anhand empirischer Daten des Verbundprojekts ZAFH care4care zeigen wir auf, wie Führungshandeln im Krisenmodus stattfindet, welche Widersprüche damit einhergehen und wie die eingesetzten Maßnahmen die vorhandene Problematik verschärfen.
