Work place pressure can give rise to many health issues ranging from moderate to
severe. To reduce the effect of mental and physical load induced by the workplace, several
health care programs and promotion are conducted. This review analysis was conducted on
Australian literature search based on the health promotion strategy in healthcare organization
and office settings.
According to Jia et al., (2018), health culture help to mediate between intervention
effectiveness and intervention implication whereas the relationship is not mediated by the
physical culture. Better intervention gives rise to positive outcomes in mental health care
organization. In this article 719 respondents were chosen for a self-controlled trial. For the
evaluation purpose, questionnaire, direct observation and interview was conducted. It is
conducted on the basis of risk assessment at work place. Outcomes of the research is
evaluated by including self-rated health and mental health. Health culture was measured at
the interval of 2 year where as intervention implementation and physical environment was
measured at the interval of 1 year and 2 year. From the research it is concluded that health
culture act as a mediator between the intervention effectiveness and implementation.
According to Cinaz et al., (2013), personal health care applications helps in reducing
the work and mental load which is due to work pressure. Inn this article, ECG logger is used
to evaluate the mental and work load induced from the workplace. In the article it is assed
that there are three different level of mental load. Multiple regression analysis is applied to
evaluate the relationship between the HRV features and the subjective rating of NASA-TLX
to predict the emotional and physical workload during office hours. From the research it is
observed that, LDA (linear discriminant analysis) provides better result in the evaluation of
mental workload. According to Lima and Coelho (2011), there is increasing prevalent stress
induced by the workplace. In this article risk factors MSD (musculoskeletal disorders) is
identified by working for long time in front of computer. The risk is evaluated by Rapid

Upper Limb Assessment test by consid4ring the applicability and validity of the case studied.
This assessment is used commonly by the technician to evaluate the risk of any illness due to
work pressure. From analysing the result is recommended that, there should be a change in
the setup of the organization. Along with that other activities should be performed to decrease
the risk factor.
Berkland et al., (2017), conducted an extensive 12-week Stress Management and
Resilience Training (SMART) program to assess the gratitude, life satisfaction, happiness,
spirituality, stress and mindfulness of various health care providers and workers. The
employees of wellness and health centre were considered as participants by the researcher. A
detail three-month in-person SMART program was conducted with three months post
intervention follow up period. The outcome were analysed based on SMART chart that
included different scale for the measurement of various factors involved in the assessment of
wellness among the healthcare workers. The result interpreted that SMART program was
important in improving the happiness, gratitude, spirituality, mindfulness, stress and
happiness in the healthcare workers. Chau et al., (2014) identified the risk factor associated
with the healthcare worker who are working under stand-sit workstation. Continued sitting
time was the major risk factor determined with the aim to evaluate the feasibility, perceptions
and acceptability of using stand-sit workspaces in desk-based organisation workers. The
researcher used qualitative method of data collection and the participants were the workers or
employees of non-governmental health organisation. A four-week intervention was
conducted where the participants conveyed and shared their experience and perception. The
result was analysed and was in favour of stand-sit workstations. The stand and sit workstation
was mostly feasible and accepted among the healthcare workers. All the facilitators and
barriers in this method was analysed extensively and the outcome was in favour of the stand
and sit workstation.
