The “Area of knowledge dissemination
for health” at Hospital Sant Joan
de Déu
Nuria Serrallonga, Josep Planas
The question “where is health created?“ binds health promotion
to the necessity of reorienting the sanitary services and to the
creation of surroundings that support health, increasing the
coordination of support centers and incorporating new actors
like hospitals.
Sant Joan de Déu Hospital is developing initiatives with the
purpose of providing greater information and sensibilisation of
patients and their parents in aspects related to health.
The “Area of knowledge dissemination for health” is an organizational
ambit that includes and interconnects all actions
related to dissemination of paediatric health knowledge developed
in the hospital. It is created with one primary goal: to
promote the work of the hospital as a promoter of children’s
health in its surroundings, achieving greater information and
social sensibility.
Other goals:
� To turn the hospital into a point of social reference in the
area of mother and child health.
� To contribute to the progress of sanitary attention systems.
� To be a socially responsible hospital.
� To stimulate the development of new initiatives.
These are some of the initiatives that have been put into action:
� “Paediatric Classroom for parents": conferences and
courses directed to parents offered within the hospital and
television and radio programs promoted by the hospital
� "Health Observatory" for children and teen-agers to study a
topic identifying its associated effects
� Space for the dissemination of healthy lifestyles: creation
and continuous maintenance of an interactive space for
children and parents where diverse activities are held with
the objective of promoting reflections and awareness to the
development of healthy lifestyle and nutrition
� Websites that provide health assessment tools
� Publications
� Dissemination of health advice through internal pamphlets

Session 1-3:
Implementing comprehensive
organisational approaches for
smoke-free hospitals
Quality levels for health promotion –
the certification process of the standards
of the European Network for
Smoke-free Hospitals
Christa Rustler, Manja Nehrkorn, Felix
Bruder
In 2003, the German Network of Health Promoting Hospitals
has initiated a German Network of Smoke Free Hospitals. The
code and the standards of the European Network for Smokefree
Hospitals ENSH are the basis of the implementation. This
has mobilised hospitals to implement the ENSH concept and
motivated decision makers and politicians on regional and
federal level to support the initiative. So far, this effort has
shown following results:
� Establishment of a central co-ordinating office funded by
the German Health Ministry under the patronage of the Federal
Drug Commissioner in 2005.
� Establishment of regional working groups in 10 of 16
states in Germany, with support from the regional ministry
of health and / or the regional hospital association.
� Registration of about 100 hospitals as members of the
network (in 13 of 16 states in Germany) of which over 45
have been awarded bronze level and 13 hospitals silver
level certification (Dec. ‘06).
� Organisation of regional workshops and trainings and in
September 2006, the 1st Conference on Smoke-free Hospitals
in Germany was organised as part of the National
Conference of the German HPH Network.
EU Commissioner Kyprianou gave on behalf of the European
Network Smoke free Hospitals the 2006 Special Network
Achievement Award to the German Network Smoke Free Hospitals,
for its sustained development in a very short period and
effective growth. Members of the smoke-free hospital network
can achieve European certificates depending on their score in
the self audit, one of the basic tools of the ENSH concept. A
designed process to achieve these levels of certification, an
evaluation of the implementation by conducting an annual reassessment
of the ENSH-self audit for all members is developed
and implemented. Methods, experiences and results will
be presented in the session.
