The aim was to develop and evaluate an online learning tool for use with UK healthcare employees, healthcare educators and healthcare students, to increase knowledge of workplace wellness as an important public health issue. A 'Workplace Wellness' e-learning tool was developed and peer-reviewed by 14 topic experts. This focused on six key areas relating to workplace wellness: work-related stress, musculoskeletal disorders, diet and nutrition, physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. Each key area provided current evidence-based information on causes and consequences, access to UK government reports and national statistics, and guidance on actions that could be taken to improve health within a workplace setting. 188 users (93.1% female, age 18-60) completed online knowledge questionnaires before (n = 188) and after (n = 88) exposure to the online learning tool. Baseline knowledge of workplace wellness was poor (n = 188; mean accuracy 47.6%, s.d. 11.94). Knowledge significantly improved from baseline to post-intervention (mean accuracy = 77.5%, s.d. 13.71) (t(75) = -14.801, p < 0.0005) with knowledge increases evident for all included topics areas. Usability evaluation showed that participants perceived the tool to be useful (96.4%), engaging (73.8%) and would recommend it to others (86.9%). Healthcare professionals, healthcare educators and pre-registered healthcare students held positive attitudes towards online learning, indicating scope for development of further online packages relating to other important health parameters.
目的是开发并评估一种在线学习工具，供英国医疗保健员工、医疗保健教育工作者和医学生使用，以提高对职场健康这一重要公共卫生问题的认识。开发了一个“职场健康”电子学习工具，并由14位主题专家进行同行评审。该工具聚焦于与职场健康相关的六个关键领域：工作相关压力、肌肉骨骼疾病、饮食与营养、体育活动、吸烟和饮酒。每个关键领域都提供了关于病因和后果的当前循证信息、英国政府报告和国家统计数据的获取途径，以及在工作场所环境中可采取的改善健康行动的指导。188名用户（93.1%为女性，年龄在18至60岁之间）在接触在线学习工具之前（n = 188）和之后（n = 88）完成了在线知识问卷。职场健康的基线知识水平较低（n = 188；平均准确率47.6%，标准差11.94）。从基线到干预后，知识水平显著提高（平均准确率 = 77.5%，标准差13.71）（t(75) = -14.801，p < 0.0005），所有纳入主题领域的知识均有增加。可用性评估显示，参与者认为该工具有用（96.4%）、引人入胜（73.8%），并会向他人推荐（86.9%）。医疗保健专业人员、医疗保健教育工作者和预注册医学生对在线学习持积极态度，表明有开发与其他重要健康参数相关的更多在线课程包的空间。
