Although small-scale enterprises (SSEs) dominate the private enterprise sector, knowledge about support for these organizations from occupational health services (OHSs) is insufficient. The aim of this research was to study OHS services provided and staff cooperation with SSEs in Norway and Sweden. In total, 87 Norwegian and 51 Swedish OHS providers answered a survey on their experiences providing requested services from and cooperation with SSEs. Based on survey questions and constructed indices, providers in the two countries were compared using independent sample t tests and non-parametric tests. Open-ended questions were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The results showed that SSEs, particularly in industrial, construction, and trade sectors, commonly contract for Norwegian and Swedish OHSs, and these contracts have increased in the last 12 months. Norwegian providers state that SSEs request broader organizationally- based services; their Swedish counterparts request more individual-based health-related services. Improvements concerning specific strategies for OHS collaboration with SSEs may be needed.
尽管小企业在私营企业部门占据主导地位，但关于职业健康服务（OHS）对这些组织的支持的了解并不充分。本研究的目的是调查挪威和瑞典为小企业提供的职业健康服务以及工作人员之间的合作情况。共有87家挪威职业健康服务提供商和51家瑞典职业健康服务提供商回答了一项关于他们为小企业提供所需服务及合作经历的调查。基于调查问题和构建的指标，使用独立样本t检验和非参数检验对两国的服务提供商进行了比较。通过定性内容分析对开放式问题进行了分析。结果表明，小企业，特别是工业、建筑和贸易领域的小企业，通常会与挪威和瑞典的职业健康服务机构签订合同，并且在过去12个月里这类合同有所增加。挪威的服务提供商表示，小企业要求提供更广泛的基于组织的服务；而瑞典的同行则要求提供更多基于个人的健康相关服务。可能需要改进职业健康服务与小企业合作的具体策略。
