Abstract

This study aimed to explore Total Worker Health (TWH) and its implementation to improve occupational safety, health, and well-being. Researchers explored and gained an understanding of intervention studies, research designs, and existing research. The existing studies were analyzed to obtain a new design for implementing TWH. This article used a qualitative systematic review to describe research TWH. Researchers used literature from digital libraries such as JStor, Science Direct, Scopus, Atlantis Press, Emerald, Inderscience Publisher, and Proquest from 2011 to 2021. The keywords used were total worker health, well-being, health, intervention, and workplace. The results of the disbursement found a total of 73 articles on occupational safety, health, and well-being. After eliminating duplication and irrelevance articles, 18 articles were analyzed. The stages in conducting meta-synthesis in this study are framing the research question, locating relevant research, inclusion criteria, extracting and coding data, analyzing at a specific case level, synthesizing on an across-study level, building theory from meta-synthesis, and discussing. The total worker health study used a qualitative and quantitative approach. In its development, TWH has used control hierarchies, conceptual models for the development of total worker health, and interventions have been introduced. The implementation of an integrated Total Worker Health can improve safety, health, and well-being of workers. The framework that involves all parties in the organization for workers.
