“…No changes were found in BMI or waist circumference as might be expected after a PA intervention of short duration. A recent pedometer-based intervention study of similar duration with nurses of comparable age also found no changes in BMI and waist circumference (Lavoie-Tremblay et al, 2014); another study of longer duration but similar aged participants, which also included clinic physicians and staff, had positive reductions in BMI (Chyou et al, 2006). Perhaps a longer intervention duration (20 weeks or more) is more likely needed for positive changes in waist circumference and BMI.…”

“…Limited research on the use of pedometers with nurses was identified. Most pedometer-based interventions have focused on hospital or clinic employees in general, with some participation by nurses and nursing support staff (Chyou, Scheuer, & Linneman, 2006; Hess, Borg, & Rissel, 2011; Shaw, Alfonso, Howat, & Corben, 2007). Lavoie-Tremblay et al (2014) examined the impact of an 8-week pedometer-based intervention on nurses’ PA and various health outcomes.…”

Using Pedometers to Increase the Non-Workday Steps of Hospital Nursing and Support Staff: A Pilot Study

Nursing is a physically active profession; however, nurses and nursing support staff may limit their physical activity (PA) on non-workdays. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of a 12-week pedometer-based PA intervention on daily steps of hospital nursing and support staff from two departments, emergency (ED) and oncology (ONC). The 12-week minimal-contact, self-managed intervention was designed to increase total and non-workday PA. Twenty participants with an average age of 47.6 ± 7.1 years completed the intervention. Significant differences were found between total daily steps at baseline (8,446) and at 12 weeks (10,655; p = .014), and between workday steps at baseline (10,398) and at 12 weeks (13,056; p = 0.005). Oncology unit participants significantly increased their non-workday steps from baseline (5,850) to 12 weeks (9,829; p = .003). As part of a comprehensive intervention, pedometers can promote total and non-workday PA of nursing and support staff.

“…Work-site physical activity interventions range from traditional exercise classes, use of walking or step programs, to cosmetic and structural enhancements to the work setting to encourage stairwell use. Studies involving these approaches have demonstrated modest increases in employee physical activity during the study period, though long-term sustainability has not been demonstrated (Blamey, Multrie, & Aitchison, 1995;Boutelle, Jeffery, & Schmitz, 2001;Chyou, Scheuer, & Linneman, 2006;Kerr, Yore, Ham, & Dietz, 2004;Steps to a HealthierUS Program: Preventing Diseases Through Local Community Action, 2007;Yancey et al, 2004).…”

The work site has been identified as an ideal context for promoting physical activity. Assessing employee interest, identifying who could most benefit, and understanding impact of work-related barriers on potential participation is key. We conducted focus groups and surveyed the employee population of a large urban hospital. Using the "stages of change" construct, employees were categorized based on their motivation to exercise into exerciser, intender, and nonintender groups. Intenders were significantly more interested in most physical activity programs at work than were exercisers (p < .05). Intenders also found environmental and personal barriers to be more significant deterrents to participation than did exercisers (p < .01). Half of nonintenders reported interest in physical activity programs. Interest in physical activity programs at work is strong for employees who are not currently exercising. Both structural changes to promote safe environments and time allotments through work-related policies may encourage participation, especially for the priority populations of nonexercising employees.

“…Schuessler et al [39] boten finanzielle Gewinne in Teamgruppierungen an und erreichten damit, dass 48 % der Teilnehmer an 5 Tagen pro Woche durchschnittlich 30 min moderat aktiv waren. Ähnliche Werte erfassten Chyou et al [40], die mit einem Punktesystem arbeiteten. Durch einen Schrittwettbewerb konnte bei Hallam et al [41] eine Adhärenz von 77,8 % erreicht werden.…”

Strukturelle Prädiktoren der Adhärenz für körperliche Aktivität im betrieblichen Setting – eine systematische Übersichtsarbeit

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Der Erfolg betrieblicher Gesundheitsprogramme hängt maßgeblich von der Adhärenz der Beschäftigten ab. In betrieblichen Bewegungsprogrammen beträgt diese üblicherweise 25,8 % bis 29,2 %. Determiniert wird die Adhärenz durch demografische, gesundheitsbezogene, arbeitsbezogene und strukturelle Prädiktoren (Robroek, van Lenthe, van Empelen und Burdorf, 2009). Diese Übersichtsarbeit fasst zusammen, unter welchen strukturellen Prädiktoren die Adhärenz für betriebliche Bewegungsprogramme am höchsten ist. Methode Zur Identifizierung relevanter Artikel wurde eine systematische Literatursuche in den Datenbanken Pubmed, Sportdiscus, Cinahl, Embase, Medline und Business Source Premier durchgeführt. Es konnten 47 relevante Artikel aus der Ergebnismenge extrahiert werden. Diese wurden in Bezug auf ihre methodische Qualität bewertet. Adhärenzdaten sowie Teilnehmerquoten wurden nach thematischen Schwerpunkten ausgewertet. Ergebnisse Die Qualität der Studien ist gering, da nur wenige Studien die Adhärenz von betrieblichen Bewegungsprogrammen als primäres Zielkriterium auswerten. Die Messung, Operationalisierung und Definition der Adhärenz für körperliche Aktivität variiert sehr stark in den untersuchten Studien und die Ergebnisse sind inkonsistent. Es fehlen randomisierte kontrollierte Versuche, die unterschiedliche strukturelle Aspekte der Betriebe und Programme miteinander vergleichen. Dennoch konnte der Einfluss struktureller Prädiktoren auf die Adhärenz für betriebliche Bewegungsprogramme bestätigt werden. Diskussion Es besteht die Notwendigkeit, die Adhärenzforschung zu standardisieren, um vergleichbare Ergebnisse liefern zu können. Randomisierte kontrollierte Studien sollten den Einfluss struktureller Prädiktoren auf die Adhärenz genauer spezifizieren. Es ist außerdem von Bedeutung, Strategien zu finden, die die Langzeitadhärenz erhöhen, um das gesundheitsfördernde Potential von Bewegungsprogrammen am Arbeitsplatz besser nutzen zu können. Hierfür muss die Adhärenz als ein komplex determiniertes Verhalten betrachtet werden.
