Reducing sedentary behavior (SB) is an important public health concern. The purpose of this study was to explore motivation to acquire a standing desk and strategies for using a standing desk through one-on-one interviews.
Thirty-seven university employees (89% staff; 51% women) participated in the study. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide and brief demographic questionnaire.
Data analysis yielded five themes about motivation to acquire a standing desk: (1) pain management; (2) health risk; (3) movement opportunity; (4) workspace flexibility; and (5) productivity and three themes about typical use strategy: (1) task-dependent; (2) time-dependent; and (3) threshold.
Motivating factors for using a standing desk should be considered when encouraging standing desk use. Interventions should provide realistic strategies to establish a sit-stand routine that address employees' unique job demands and preferences.
减少久坐行为(SB)是一个重要的公共卫生关注点。本研究的目的是通过一对一访谈探索获得站立式办公桌的动机和使用站立式办公桌的策略。
37 名大学员工(89%为员工;51%为女性)参与了这项研究。使用半结构化访谈指南和简短的人口统计问卷收集数据。
数据分析得出了五个关于获得站立式办公桌动机的主题:(1)疼痛管理;(2)健康风险;(3)运动机会;(4)工作空间灵活性;和(5)生产力,以及三个关于典型使用策略的主题:(1)任务相关;(2)时间相关;和(3)阈值。
在鼓励使用站立式办公桌时,应考虑使用站立式办公桌的激励因素。干预措施应提供建立坐-站常规的现实策略,以满足员工独特的工作需求和偏好。
