Healthcare and social assistance workers are at increased risk for obesity. This industry has limited access to workplace health promotion resources and reports low rates of physical activity programs for workers.
This article describes the application of the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model (PPM) to plan, implement, and evaluate a pilot physical activity intervention, Project Move, tailored to promote occupational physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviors among female workers. Actions taken by the community-based participatory research partnership assisted in the identification of the predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors that influenced the physical activity behaviors of female workers. The resources and capacities of the partnership were leveraged to implement and evaluate the pilot intervention.
After the 12-week intervention, the participants' daily average steps while at work met the recommended minimum 7,000 steps/day, and the time spent sitting decreased along with positive changes in health-related psychosocial measures.
CONCLUSIONS/APPLICATION TO PRACTICE: The PPM represents a feasible approach for community-based participatory partnerships to create a tailored intervention to address the occupational physical activity and sedentary behaviors of at-risk female healthcare and social assistance workforce.
医疗保健和社会援助工作者面临肥胖风险增加的问题。这个行业获得工作场所健康促进资源的机会有限，并且报告称针对工作人员的身体活动计划参与率较低。
本文介绍了应用 PRECEDE-PROCEED 模式 (PPM) 来规划、实施和评估针对女性工人的职业身体活动和减少久坐行为的试点身体活动干预项目 Move 的情况。基于社区的参与式研究合作伙伴关系采取的行动有助于确定影响女性工人身体活动行为的倾向因素、强化因素和促成因素。合作伙伴的资源和能力被利用来实施和评估试点干预措施。
在 12 周的干预后，参与者在工作时的日常平均步数达到了建议的最低 7000 步/天，并且随着与健康相关的心理社会测量指标的积极变化，坐着的时间减少了。
结论/对实践的应用：PPM 代表了基于社区的参与式伙伴关系制定量身定制的干预措施来解决高风险女性医疗保健和社会援助劳动力的职业身体活动和久坐行为问题的可行方法。
