This study evaluated the effects of improving the visibility of the stairwell and of displaying a video with a stair climbing model on climbing and descending stair use in a worksite setting.
Intervention study.
Three consecutive one-week intervention phases were implemented: (1) the visibility of the stairs was improved by the attachment of pictograms that indicated the stairwell; (2) a video showing a stair climbing model was sent to the employees by email; and (3) the same video was displayed on a television screen at the point-of-choice (POC) between the stairs and the elevator. The interventions took place in two buildings. The implementation of the interventions varied between these buildings and the sequence was reversed.
Improving the visibility of the stairs increased both stair climbing (+6%) and descending stair use (+7%) compared with baseline. Sending the video by email yielded no additional effect on stair use. By contrast, displaying the video at the POC increased stair climbing in both buildings by 12.5% on average. One week after the intervention, the positive effects on stair climbing remained in one of the buildings, but not in the other.
These findings suggest that improving the visibility of the stairwell and displaying a stair climbing model on a screen at the POC can result in a short-term increase in both climbing and descending stair use.
本研究评估了改善楼梯间可见度和展示楼梯攀爬模型视频对工作场所楼梯攀爬和使用的影响。
干预研究。
实施了三个连续的一周干预阶段：（1）通过附加指示楼梯间的象形图来提高楼梯可见度；（2）通过电子邮件向员工发送展示楼梯攀爬模型的视频；（3）在楼梯和电梯之间的选择点（POC）上显示相同的视频。干预措施在两栋建筑中进行。这些建筑之间干预的实施情况有所不同，且顺序相反。
与基线相比，提高楼梯可见度可分别增加爬楼梯（+6%）和下楼梯（+7%）的使用。通过电子邮件发送视频对楼梯使用没有额外的影响。相比之下，在 POC 显示视频可使两栋建筑的爬楼梯使用率平均增加 12.5%。干预一周后，一栋建筑的爬楼梯使用率仍保持积极，但另一栋建筑则不然。
这些发现表明，提高楼梯间的可见度和在 POC 的屏幕上显示楼梯攀爬模型可以在短期内增加爬楼梯和下楼梯的使用。
