Abstrakt: Background: The program has been organized at two levels: (1) institution and (2) voivodeship. Institutions have prepared programs adapted to their needs. Their actions were supported by voivod coordinators. The implementation of the first stage ofthe program has been evaluated. The evaluation was based on the data gathered by using the institutions' self-assessment questionnaire. The aim of the study was to present main results obtained by the institutions participating in the program. Based on these the implementation strategies at the voivodeship level were analyzed.
Material and Methods: The questionnaire helps to identify stress risk factors, as well as to initiate intervention plans, assess determinants of their implementation, and also to evaluate the status quo of already completed ventures aimed at reducing stress. It helped to gather the information from all 30 institutions, which have participated in the program.
Results: Before joining the program only 50% of institutions had considered stress at work in their evaluation of occupational risks. Only two third of them have been involved in any activities aimed at reducing stress, and only half of them have consulted them with employees. Twice as many institutions assessed the opportunities for reducing stress problems as small.
Conclusions: It is needed to improve the reliability of data and increase the utilization of the evaluation results by the institutions. The program strategy at the voivod level should be modified, employers' attitudes toward the problem of reducing stress at work properly shaped and the competence and involvement of leaders increased.
