简要总结
Several RCT studies have aimed to reduce either musculoskeletal disorders, sickness presenteeism, sickness absenteeism or a combination of these among females with high physical work demands. These studies have provided evidence that workplace health promotion (WHP) interventions are effective, but long-term effects are still uncertain. These studies either lack to succeed in maintaining intervention effects or lack to document if effects are maintained past a one-year period. FRIDOM (FRamed Intervention to Decrease Occupational Muscle pain) is a WHP program among health care workers. A job group characterized by having high physical work demands, musculoskeletal disorders, high sickness presenteeism - and absenteeism.
FRIDOM aimed to reduce neck and shoulder pain and secondary to reduce sickness presenteeism and sickness absenteeism. An other secondary aim was to decrease lifestyle-diseases such as other musculoskeletal disorders as well as metabolic-, and cardiovascular disorders - and to maintain participation to regular physical exercise training, after a one year intervention period. The entire concept was tailored to a population of female health care workers. This was done through a multi-component intervention including 1) intelligent physical exercise training (IPET), dietary advice and weight loss (DAW) and cognitive behavioural training (CBT).
详细描述
The FRIDOM program was composed of four parts: 1) A planning phase according to intervention mapping principles, 2) a feasibility study to reveal issues of implementation and intervention content, 3) a randomized controlled trial (RCT) , and 4) a maintenance period. Below these components are further detailed.
Intervention mapping and time frame The main focus of the intervention was on sustainable behavioural life-style changes, therefore, a key point was a detailed planning of all phases to ease the final maintenance of the introduced health enhancing activities after the 12 months supervised intervention.
The FRIDOM-Feasibility study To prepare and facilitate the FRIDOM-RCT study a feasibility study was conducted which served several purposes. Before the intervention in the feasibility study was initiated, all eligible employees were asked to fill out a screening questionnaire and participate in a baseline-screening-test. To allow for subsequent adjustment of the intervention content and mode of practical implementation, the feasibility study was timed ahead of the RCT study, according to the same principal schedule as the RCT.
The FRIDOM-RCT study The FRIDOM-RCT was implemented as a cluster RCT with a "stepped wedge" design. Content of the intervention had to be given repeatedly, and it was an important step to avoid changes in intervention delivery to the successive cohorts.
The FRIDOM-Maintenance Besides the primary and secondary goals, it was a long term goal to implement the intervention elements as permanent activities at the workplace, maintained beyond the one-year intervention period. Therefore, the activities offered at the workplace should include not only baseline consenters, but also gradually involve new employees and employees returning to work.
