Abstract

Objectives

In this study, we conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial to verify the effectiveness of a treatment work balance support (TWBS) program promoted by occupational health nurses (OHNs) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) using a web meeting system.

Methods

We analyzed data from 64 managers (32 each in the control and intervention groups) and 541 workers (246 and 295 in the control and intervention groups, respectively) from 22 SMEs (11 in each group) with less than 200 workers. The TWBS program comprised online consultations for managers and seminars for workers by an OHN. TWBS leaflets were distributed among both groups. The “Recognition and Attitude Scale toward TWBS” was administered and workplace climate, psychological safety (PS), and work engagement (WE) scores were measured at baseline and endpoint. The increase in scores of each group was analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model.

Results

Increases in managers' scores on all three recognition and attitude subscales were significantly greater in the intervention than in the control group (P = .048, .003, and .032, respectively). Workers' score increases were significantly higher on two subscales—recognition of workplace initiatives and understanding of professionals' roles—in the intervention than in the control group (P = .043 and .001, respectively). There was no difference between the two groups in the amount of increase in PS and WE, as perceived by managers and workers.

Conclusions

The TWBS program promoted by OHN increased recognition and attitude among SME managers and workers, indicating the usability of promoting TWBS in SMEs.

职业健康护士使用网络会议系统促进中小型企业平衡治疗和工作支持计划的有效性:一项集群随机对照试验
目的在本研究中,我们进行了一项集群随机对照试验,以验证职业卫生护士(OHN)在中小企业(SME)中使用网络会议系统推广的治疗-工作平衡支持(TWBS)计划的有效性。方法我们分析了64名管理人员(对照组和干预组各32名)和541名工人(对照组与干预组分别为246名和295名)的数据,他们来自22家工人少于200人的中小企业(每组11家)。TWBS项目包括管理人员的在线咨询和OHN为员工举办的研讨会。TWBS传单在两组中分发。使用“对TWBS的认知和态度量表”,在基线和终点测量工作环境、心理安全(PS)和工作参与度(WE)得分。使用线性混合效应模型分析各组得分的增加。结果干预组管理者在所有三个认知和态度分量表上的得分均显著高于对照组(P = .分别为048、.003和.032)。在干预组中,工人在两个分量表上的得分增长显著高于对照组(P = .043和.001)。管理人员和工人认为,两组的PS和WE的增加量没有差异。结论OHN推广的TWBS项目提高了中小企业管理者和员工的认可度和态度,表明在中小企业推广TWBS的可用性。
