Abstract

Objectives: Teleworking from home was widespread during the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic. This working practice is expected to maintain popularity among employers and employees. Compared with in-person workers, teleworkers tend to be less physically active and have more musculoskeletal pain. Interventions specific to reducing health risks among teleworkers have not been identified. This study will examine the effects of an occupational lifestyle intervention encompassing 3 components: physical activity promotion, musculoskeletal health, and work environment improvement.

Methods: This cluster randomized trial will have a target sample size of 500 participants. The target population is healthy adults aged 18-64 years who telework at least once per week. Randomization will be conducted on a stratified block basis for clusters of 20 to 100 individuals within the recruited companies. The intervention period will be 12 weeks and comprise individual (online lectures, feedback, and periodic email messages), sociocultural (team building through step competition), physical (poster and tabletop pop-up), and organizational (encouraging message from an executive) strategies. The intervention group will be compared with a wait-list control group. The primary outcome will be the number of steps taken, as assessed by an accelerometer, and the secondary outcomes will be musculoskeletal pain and a telecommuting environment. The study protocol was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (ID: UMIN000053861) (https://center6.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr.cgi?function=brows&action=brows&recptno=R000061478&type=summary&language=J).

Results: Study enrollment began in March 2024, and the intervention will be completed by March 2025.

Conclusions: The results of this study are expected to provide helpful data for promoting healthy teleworking practices.

多组分职业生活方式干预以改善日本远程工作者的身体活动、肌肉骨骼健康和工作环境(TELEWORK研究):一项聚类随机对照试验方案。
目的:在2019年冠状病毒大流行期间,在家远程办公很普遍。这种工作方式有望在雇主和雇员中保持流行。与现场工作者相比,远程工作者往往体力活动较少,肌肉骨骼疼痛较多。还没有确定专门用于减少远程工作人员健康风险的干预措施。本研究考察了职业生活方式干预的影响,包括三个组成部分:促进身体活动、肌肉骨骼健康和改善工作环境。方法:该整群随机试验的目标样本量为500名参与者。目标人群是年龄在18-64岁之间、每周至少远程办公一次的健康成年人。将在被招募公司中对每组20至100人进行分层随机分组。干预期为12周,包括个人策略(在线讲座、反馈和定期电子邮件信息)、社会文化策略(通过分步竞赛建立团队)、物理策略(海报和桌面弹出式窗口)和组织策略(来自高管的鼓励信息)。干预组将与等候名单对照组进行比较。主要结果将是采取的步数,由加速度计评估,次要结果将是肌肉骨骼疼痛和远程办公环境。结果:研究于2024年3月开始入组,干预将于2025年3月完成。结论:本研究的结果有望为促进健康的远程工作提供有益的数据。试验注册:研究方案已在大学医院医学信息网临床试验注册中心注册(ID: UMIN000053861)。https://center6.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr.cgi?function=brows&action=brows&recptno=R000061478&type=summary&language=J。

期刊介绍: The scope of the journal is broad, covering toxicology, ergonomics, psychosocial factors and other relevant health issues of workers, with special emphasis on the current developments in occupational health. The JOH also accepts various methodologies that are relevant to investigation of occupational health risk factors and exposures, such as large-scale epidemiological studies, human studies employing biological techniques and fundamental experiments on animals, and also welcomes submissions concerning occupational health practices and related issues.
