Abstract
The general objective of this research is to analyze the importance of managing, developing, and implementing health programs for patients with chronic diseases in the workplace. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, utilizing databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Ibecs. The search, covering the period from March to May 2024, identified articles published in English and Spanish over the last ten years. Specific keywords and Boolean operators were used for each database, resulting in an initial selection of 326 articles; after applying filters, this was reduced to 10 relevant documents for detailed analysis. The studies analyzed highlight the importance of workplace health intervention programs, particularly for chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes. These programs not only improve patients' health and well-being but can also enhance their ability to reintegrate into the workforce and maintain a satisfying work life. The findings indicate that implementing workplace health programs is crucial for improving workers' quality of life, reducing absenteeism and medical costs, and increasing productivity and job satisfaction. To maximize the effectiveness of these programs, it is recommended to develop personalized and accessible initiatives, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, conduct periodic evaluations, encourage active employee participation, and provide ongoing support. These measures will contribute to creating an organizational culture that values the holistic well-being of employees, ensuring that programs are effective and widely implemented across companies.
