Friskvårdsersättning och vårdpersonalens hälsa samt arbetsförmåga
Background:Public health is a concern of many important areas of society and it`s important that Sweden works with the health of the individual through the eleven public health areas. Health isn`t longer only a objective but even a resource. That`s why the society works with the health of the individual through a salutogenic perspective, about what can preserve or enhance the health of the individual.Aim:The aim of this study is to find out what the staff at a nursing home has views of what health can bring, and also study how health affects their ability to work. Also to study the employee`s apprehension of the wellness reimbursement that employer offers them.Material and Method:A qualitative method was used to obtain results from eight interviews with health care workers in Skåne. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using content analysis.Results:For the interview person?s health means to feel good and be healthy. The health of the individual affects the ability to work and personal life. The wellness reimbursement is a good benefit from the employee and there is something for the interest of interview persons.Conclusion:The wellness reimbursement that the workplace offers to the employees today is at an individual level, it is up to the person himself to engage and find interest to training and well- being. That there is something for anybody who has interest for wellness reimbursement is in my opinion a good way to a healthier workplace. The individual wants to be self-determinant and can therefore not be forced to something they have no interest in.
