Workplace Health Promotion in Domiciliary Care — an Austrian Project

Abstract

This article reports practical experiences with workforce health promotion in domiciliary care arising from an ongoing EU‐funded Austrian project. We review research‐based findings on working conditions and indicate starting points for health‐promoting measures. We describe the approach, and give an insight into challenges and obstacles to workplace health promotion in this field of work. The issues have strong relevance for the UK.
