Improving the teaching skills of instructors and improving participation rates in health screening are key for the success of health promotion. The common issue of these two is raising the value of being healthy and maintaining the motivation for self care. To achieve it, it is necessary, in particular, to provide information that relates to the mental and economic merits of participating in health screening so that individuals can understand the significance and necessity of health screening. Meanwhile, it is urgent to have employers recognize the managerial merits of improved health of their employees and construct a system to maintain their health.
With regard to improving the teaching skills of instructors on health guidance, maintaining the motivation of self care by individuals is indispensable. It was found that 68% of those who underwent health guidance failed to live a healthy lifestyle and the proportion of those who lost body weight six months after the health guidance was markedly low. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate whether or not individuals have the intention to improve their lifestyle and keep them motivated accordingly. Meanwhile, nutritional assessment is also necessary for health guidance. This is a teaching method that is indispensable for prevention of complications and subsequently prolongation of healthy life expectancy.
