BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to evaluate the acceptance of an employer-led free lunch initiative and its effect on health, diet, and attitudes towards health and diet amongst employees in a small workplace in Northern Ireland.
METHODS
This was a controlled, employer-led pilot intervention, which was evaluated through a mixed methods approach.
RESULTS
Seventeen participants from the intervention site and 14 participants from the control site completed all assessments. Post-intervention, there was no difference in change in dietary measures between the sites, except for saturated fat intake during weekdays (IS: - 1.3% of calories, SD: 4.3; CS: 2.8% of calories, SD: 6.6; -value < 0.05). Qualitative information was summarised to highlight employees' expectations and experiences with the intervention.
CONCLUSION
This study highlights the challenges that need to be considered when implementing a free lunch initiative for staff.
背景
本研究的目的是评估北爱尔兰一个小型工作场所中由雇主主导的免费午餐倡议的接受程度及其对员工健康、饮食以及对健康和饮食态度的影响。
方法
这是一项由雇主主导的对照性试点干预研究，通过混合方法进行评估。
结果
来自干预组的17名参与者和来自对照组的14名参与者完成了所有评估。干预后，除工作日饱和脂肪摄入量外，两组在饮食指标变化方面没有差异（干预组：-1.3%卡路里，标准差：4.3；对照组：2.8%卡路里，标准差：6.6；p值<0.05）。对定性信息进行了总结，以突出员工对该干预措施的期望和体验。
结论
本研究凸显了为员工实施免费午餐倡议时需要考虑的挑战。
