We examined the relationship between workplace environmental factors, including support from supervisors and colleagues, and the continued use of a wearable device meant to promote occupational health. One hundred employees at a Japanese manufacturing company participated in a 3-month study, and information related to their physical health status was recorded by a wearable device. We analyzed the results using the χ test and logistic regression analysis. We found that men aged 40-49 years and employees reporting low support from supervisors and colleagues were significantly more likely to be continuing device users. Participants with low workplace support had adjusted odds ratios approximately two to three times higher than those with high levels of support, which was significant. Employees with low workplace support were able to communicate at work, access appropriate support, and enthusiastically participate in occupational health promotion with little psychological difficulty in using the device. Occupational health promotion using wearable devices can complement traditional face-to-face occupational health promotion.
我们考察了工作环境因素（包括主管和同事的支持）与继续使用可促进职业健康的可穿戴设备之间的关系。一家日本制造公司的 100 名员工参加了为期 3 个月的研究，可穿戴设备记录了与他们身体健康状况相关的信息。我们使用卡方检验和逻辑回归分析对结果进行了分析。我们发现，40-49 岁的男性和报告主管及同事支持度低的员工继续使用设备的可能性明显更高。与支持度高的员工相比，支持度低的员工的调整后优势比约为 2 至 3 倍，这具有统计学意义。支持度低的员工在工作中能够进行沟通、获得适当的支持，并在使用设备方面表现出积极的参与职业健康促进活动的意愿，几乎没有心理障碍。使用可穿戴设备进行职业健康促进可以补充传统的面对面职业健康促进。
