The goal of this proposed study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of worksite wellness program designed to reduce worker stress (job and personal) and improve cardiovascular disease among long-term care workers. We also aim to test if increasing wellness behaviors in staff will translate to increased wellness behaviors in residents due to positive role modeling.

This is a cluster randomized control trial (initially intended to recruit 246 staff and 180 residents) implemented in six long-term care worksites. Three sites will be randomized to the WHHIP-PLUS & FFC and three sites will be randomized to the education-only.
The intervention occurs over 12 months and measures will be collected at three timepoints. We will test treatment fidelity as well as if our intervention improves Life's Simple 7 scores and reduces stress levels among long-term care workers and increases physical activity among residents.

Worksite health promotion and occupational health and safety (total worker health)
Education at the start of the project
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Composite life simple 7 scores and individual scores from life simple 7 components (blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, blood sugar, tobacco exposure, diet, physical activity) for staff
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Personal mood assessment tool, it can be scored as a composite mood score or three individual subscales, higher indicates more stress, 0-21 for each subscale or 0-63 for the composite for staff
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Tool to measure work environment for staff including job control (including decision authority [9 items, range 9-36] and skill discretion [6 items, range 6-24]), job demands (4 items, range 4-16), social support (6 items, range 6-24 ), and organizational justice (5 items, range 5-20). Lower scores are desired.
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Tool to assess staff encouraging their patients to engage in heart healthy behaviors, range 0-36, higher means more self-efficacy for staff
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Tool to assess staff encouraging their patients to engage in heart healthy behaviors, range 0-44, higher means more outcome expectations for staff
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Accelerometer for staff
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Percent of body fat and muscle mass for staff
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Individual items on sleep hours and quality for staff
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Assesses functional independence for residents
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
This tool is on observational check list that assesses long-term care staff and resident interactions for encouragement in function focused care (i.e., how staff engage or encourage residents to engage in physical activity). Staff are observed for about 30 minutes and scored (performed, not performed, not observed) on encouragement of function focused care for 19 typical care items such as bed mobility, ambulation in hallway.
Time frame: baseline, 6-months, 12-months
Stating 3 words to residents and asking them to recall them words.
