Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to improve sleep, reduce fatigue, and advance the well-being of team truck drivers.

Methods: In a randomized controlled trial ( k = 24 teams; N = 49 drivers; 61.3% of planned sample), intervention teams were exposed to baseline (3-4 weeks), cab enhancements (active suspension seat, therapeutic mattress; 3-4 weeks), and cab enhancements plus a behavioral sleep-health program (1-2 months). Control teams worked as usual during the same period.

Results: Trends in sleep-related outcomes favored the intervention. Large and statistically significant intervention effects were observed for objectively measured physical activity (a behavioral program target). The discussion of results addresses effect sizes, statistical power, intervention exposure, and work organization.

Conclusions: Trends, effect sizes, and significant findings in this rare trial provide valuable guidance for future efforts to improve working conditions and outcomes for team drivers.

Tech4Revest随机对照试验：应用控制层次来提高卡车车队司机的睡眠、健康和幸福感。

目的：本研究的目的是评估干预措施对改善睡眠、减少疲劳和提高团队卡车司机幸福感的有效性。方法：在一项随机对照试验中（k=24个团队；N=49名司机；61.3%的计划样本），干预团队接受基线（3-4周）、驾驶室增强（主动悬挂座椅、治疗床垫；3-4周）和驾驶室增强加行为睡眠健康计划（1-2个月）。控制小组在同一时期照常工作。结果：睡眠相关结果的趋势有利于干预。对于客观测量的身体活动（行为项目目标），观察到了大规模且具有统计学意义的干预效果。对结果的讨论涉及影响大小、统计能力、干预暴露和工作组织。结论：这项罕见试验的趋势、效果大小和重要发现为未来改善团队驾驶员的工作条件和结果提供了宝贵的指导。
