To describe the development of a hospital travel plan and report baseline findings.
The development of a travel plan involved an assessment of organisational barriers and enablers to travel planning, auditing of the transport to and physical environment of the hospital, a staff survey, analysis of distances staff travel to work and interviews with hospital managers.
There were no significant organisational impediments to, and consistent managerial support for a travel plan. The staff survey response rate was similar to response rates in workplace surveys delivered mostly online via all staff emails (n = 804, 25%). The majority (83%) of respondents drove to work on most days during the week of the survey, and the majority of drivers (58%) said they were not trying to reduce their car use and not thinking of doing so. Half (47%) of all hospital staff (n = 3222) lived within 10 km and 25% lived within 5 km. People living 5-10 km from the hospital were more likely to be active travellers than were those living less than 5 km from the hospital (AOR 2.7, 95% (CI): 1.6-4.5), as were male than female staff (AOR 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1-2.9).
The process and baseline findings described in this paper are a useful reference for Australian hospitals developing travel plans.
描述医院出行计划的制定情况并报告基线调查结果。
出行计划的制定包括对出行计划的组织障碍和促进因素进行评估、对医院的交通及物理环境进行审核、开展员工调查、分析员工上班的通勤距离以及与医院管理人员进行访谈。
对于出行计划，不存在重大的组织障碍，且得到了管理层的持续支持。员工调查的回复率与大多通过全体员工电子邮件在线开展的职场调查的回复率相似（n = 804，25%）。在调查当周的大多数日子里，大多数（83%）受访者开车上班，且大多数开车的受访者（58%）表示他们没有试图减少开车次数，也没有这样的打算。医院全体员工（n = 3222）中有一半（47%）居住在10公里以内，25%居住在5公里以内。居住在距离医院5 - 10公里的人比居住在距离医院不到5公里的人更有可能选择积极的出行方式（调整后比值比2.7，95%置信区间：1.6 - 4.5），男性员工比女性员工也是如此（调整后比值比1.7，95%置信区间：1.1 - 2.9）。
本文所述的过程和基线调查结果可为澳大利亚医院制定出行计划提供有用的参考。
