This study reports findings from a proof-of-concept trial designed to examine the feasibility and estimates the efficacy of the "Be Well, Work Well" workplace intervention.
The intervention included consultation for nurse managers to implement changes on patient-care units and educational programming for patient-care staff to facilitate improvements in safety and health behaviors. We used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate feasibility and efficacy.
Using findings from process tracking and qualitative research, we observed challenges to implementing the intervention due to the physical demands, time constraints, and psychological strains of patient care. Using survey data, we found no significant intervention effects.
Beyond educating individual workers, systemwide initiatives that respond to conditions of work might be needed to transform the workplace culture and broader milieu in support of worker health and safety.
本研究报告了一项概念验证试验的结果,该试验旨在检验“健康工作,高效工作”职场干预措施的可行性并评估其效果。
该干预措施包括为护士长提供咨询,以便在患者护理单元实施变革,并为患者护理人员提供教育课程,以促进安全和健康行为的改善。我们采用混合方法来评估可行性和效果。
利用过程跟踪和定性研究的结果,我们观察到由于患者护理的体力需求、时间限制和心理压力,在实施干预措施时存在挑战。利用调查数据,我们未发现显著的干预效果。
除了对个体工人进行教育之外,可能还需要采取应对工作条件的全系统举措,以转变职场文化和更广泛的环境,以支持工人的健康和安全。
