One way to prevent work-related stress, is to implement primary occupational health interventions aimed at improving the psychosocial work environment. However, such interventions have shown a limited effect, often due to implementation failure and poor contextual fit. Co-creation, where researchers, together with end-users and other relevant stakeholders, develop the intervention is increasingly encouraged. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of co-created interventions, and participants' experience of the co-creation process. This is one of the first studies evaluating stakeholder perceptions of co-creating an occupational health intervention. We applied a thematic analysis, with data from 12 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders involved in the co-creation. Our results show that the respondents, in general, were satisfied with engaging in the co-creation, and they reported an increased awareness regarding risk factors of stress and how these should be handled. Additionally, the respondents described trust in the intervention activities and a good fit into the context. The study indicates that co-creating occupational health interventions can enhance the implementation and the contextual fit.
预防与工作相关的压力的一种方法是实施初级职业健康干预，旨在改善心理社会工作环境。然而，此类干预的效果有限，通常是由于实施失败和适应不良造成的。共同创造（co-creation）越来越受到鼓励，即研究人员与最终用户和其他相关利益攸关方共同开发干预措施。然而，很少有研究评估共同创造干预措施的效果，以及参与者对共同创造过程的体验。这是评估利益攸关方对共同创造职业健康干预措施的看法的首批研究之一。我们应用主题分析方法，对参与共同创造的 12 名利益攸关方进行了半结构化访谈。我们的研究结果表明，受访者普遍对参与共同创造感到满意，并报告说他们对压力的风险因素以及如何应对这些因素有了更多的认识。此外，受访者还描述了对干预活动的信任和良好的适应能力。该研究表明，共同创造职业健康干预措施可以提高实施效果和适应能力。
