简要总结
In a cluster randomized design it will be investigated whether teaching local leaders how to implement active pregnancy policy results in less sickness absence among their pregnant employees. Further it will be investigated to what extent Active pregnancy policy is implemented at the departments and whether it results in higher sense of security and wellbeing among the pregnant employee. Finally the cost and benefits of the intervention will be analyzed.
详细描述
Background: The majority of Danish women work during their reproductive years. Sickness absence among pregnant women is frequent; more than one third of Danish women are on longterm sick leave during pregnancy. Sick leave has been found associated with occupational exposures and studies have shown that adjustment in exposure can reduce sick leave in pregnancy indicating that there are potential preventive initiatives.
Design and outcomes: In a cluster randomized design it will be investigated whether teaching local leaders how to implement active pregnancy policy results in less sickness absence among their pregnant employees. It will further be investigated to what extent Active pregnancy policy is implemented at the departments and whether it results in higher sense of security and wellbeing among the pregnant employee. Finally the cost and benefits of the intervention will be analyzed.
The study takes place at hospitals in the two regions on Zealand, Denmark (The Capital region of Denmark and Region Zealand) and in the daycare sector in 2 municipalities located in The Capital region of Denmark. The randomization will be at the level of departments, which will be randomized to either intervention or control:
Intervention: The leaders are invited to a 3 hours seminar, where they will be taught in how to implement active pregnancy policy at their department.
Control: as usual
