Propuesta de diseño de un programa de estilos de vida saludable para los trabajadores del centro educativo Juan Carlos Garzón/Proposal for the Design of a Healthy Lifestyle Program for the Employees of the Juan Carlos Garzón Educational Center.

Abstract

This research was conducted with 20 employees of the Juan Carlos Garzón Educational Center, who completed the FANTASTIC instrument to assess their healthy lifestyles and identify the areas requiring greater improvement. The objective was to develop a proposal for the design of a healthy lifestyle program for the employees. The methodology followed a quantitative approach with a descriptive and cross-sectional scope. The population consisted of 20 employees, representing the entire staff of the institution. The results showed an overall score of 74.9, corresponding to the “adequate, you are doing well” level; however, opportunities for improvement were identified in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, and personality types. Based on these results, the healthy lifestyle program “Caring for Life at the Educational Center” was designed for implementation over a six-month period and included activities, indicators, resources, responsible personnel, and a schedule. As a dissemination strategy, a virtual booklet was developed to present the proposed activities in a clear and organized manner. It is concluded that, although the employees generally demonstrate an adequate level of healthy lifestyles, there are specific areas that require further improvement. Therefore, the proposed program constitutes a preventive strategy aimed at promoting employee participation, strengthening self-care, and encouraging the adoption of healthy habits in the workplace.
