Qualitative studies identified barriers and facilitators associated with work-related sedentary behaviour. The objective of this study was to determine common perceived barriers and facilitators among office workers, assess subgroup differences, and describe sedentary behaviour. From two Swedish companies, 547 office workers (41 years (IQR = 35–48), 65% women, 66% highly educated) completed questionnaires on perceived barriers and facilitators, for which subgroup differences in age, gender, education, and workplace sedentary behaviour were assessed. Sedentary behaviour was measured using inclinometers ( = 311). The most frequently reported barrier was sitting is a habit (67%), which was reported more among women than men (Χ² = 5.14, = 0.03) and more among highly sedentary office workers (Χ² = 9.26, < 0.01). The two other most reported barriers were that standing is uncomfortable (29%) and standing is tiring (24%). Facilitators with the most support were the introduction of either standing- or walking-meetings (respectively 33% and 29%) and more possibilities or reminders for breaks (31%). The proportion spent sedentary was 64% at the workplace, 61% on working days, and 57% on non-working days. This study provides a detailed understanding of office workers’ ideas about sitting and means to reduce sitting. We advise to include the supported facilitators and individualized support in interventions to work towards more effective strategies to reduce sedentary behaviour.
定性研究确定了与工作相关的久坐行为相关的障碍和促进因素。本研究的目的是确定办公室工作人员普遍认为的障碍和促进因素，评估亚组差异，并描述久坐行为。在两家瑞典公司中，有 547 名办公室工作人员（41 岁（IQR = 35–48），65%为女性，66%为高学历）完成了关于感知障碍和促进因素的问卷，评估了年龄、性别、教育和工作场所久坐行为的亚组差异。使用测斜仪（ = 311）测量久坐行为。报告最多的障碍是坐着是一种习惯（67%），女性比男性报告的更多（Χ² = 5.14， = 0.03），高度久坐的办公室工作人员报告的更多（Χ² = 9.26， < 0.01）。另外两个报告最多的障碍是站立不舒服（29%）和站立累人（24%）。支持率最高的促进因素是引入站立会议或步行会议（分别为 33%和 29%）以及更多的休息机会或提醒（31%）。工作场所的久坐时间比例为 64%，工作日为 61%，非工作日为 57%。本研究详细了解了办公室工作人员对坐着的看法以及减少坐着的方法。我们建议在干预措施中纳入支持的促进因素和个性化支持，以努力制定更有效的减少久坐行为的策略。
