The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Worker Training Program piloted an Opioids and the Workplace: Prevention and Response training tool and program in 2019. The pilot trainees ( = 97) were surveyed (= 27) and interviewed ( = 6) six months posttraining, and those who downloaded the training tool from the Worker Training Program website (= 87) were surveyed ( = 19) and interviewed ( = 1) two to six months postdownload, to evaluate the impact of the training program. Workplace policy and program-level actions were reported less frequently than individual-level actions by trainees, except for planning and conducting training and education. Barriers to taking actions included not being able to make changes on their own without supervisor support and lack of upper management support and approval. We found some evidence that the Opioids in the Workplace training program and materials contributed to helping workers introduce policies and programs related to opioids within their workplace or union.
美国国家环境健康科学研究所工作人员培训项目于2019年试点了一项“阿片类药物与工作场所:预防与应对”培训工具及项目。在培训结束六个月后,对试点学员(n = 97)进行了调查(n = 27)和访谈(n = 6),并在下载培训工具后的两到六个月内,对从工作人员培训项目网站下载该培训工具的人员(n = 87)进行了调查(n = 19)和访谈(n = 1),以评估培训项目的影响。除了规划和开展培训与教育外,学员报告的工作场所政策和项目层面的行动比个人层面的行动频率更低。采取行动的障碍包括在没有主管支持的情况下无法自行做出改变,以及缺乏高层管理的支持和批准。我们发现一些证据表明,工作场所阿片类药物培训项目和材料有助于帮助工人在其工作场所或工会内引入与阿片类药物相关的政策和项目。
