Evaluation of COMmunity of Practice And Safety Support (COMPASS) for Home Care Workers

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Wounds and Injuries, Health Promotion

In brief

The current project is a safety and health intervention for home care workers conducted within the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center (OHWC), a NIOSH Center of Excellence in Total Worker Health. The objective of this five-year project is to create sustainable health and safety "communities of practice" within a population of typically isolated home care workers. The intervention is a team-based, peer-led scripted curriculum that integrates health promotion and protection topics, as well as proven elements of social support groups for caregivers. The investigators hypothesize that this intervention will increase measures of experienced community of practice, well-being, and diet, exercise, and safety behaviors, as compared to a usual practices control condition.
