Background: An 8-week health program is achieved for
health providers in a general hospital in Seoul to verify
whether health parameters are enhanced by improving life
habits. We want to examine the effect of this pro￾gram with
measuring health parameters and exercise ability. This study
is performed as a pilot study, and the
goal is to introduce the outcome of health program with
experimental methods.
Methods: Participants of this research consist of 42 health
providers who were overweight, and they enrolled an
8-week health program in 2015. They took a class about
improving eating habits and recorded daily diet.
Moreover, they implemented exercise program with
encouraging active participation by rewarding members
who attended the program frequently.
Results: The result is analyzed with 31 participants who
finished the program. There are 4 men whose physical
indices correspond with the criteria of metabolic syndrome.
Otherwise, 27 women have physical indices below
the criteria. The result indicates that physical indices would
not reveal meaningful changes. However, basal fit￾ness
comprised of flexibility, sit-up, and back muscle strength
implies meaningful improvement.
Conclusions: Even though there were some problems to
revise in exercise intervention, it was accomplished
systematically while nutrition intervention was not controlled
strictly. In addition, factors including inspiring the
enrollment of men and extending the period of program
should be considered to improve the next program. The
final goal of the health promoting hospital is to improve the
health of health providers by sustaining this program
with developing exercise and nutrition intervention in detail.
