Clinical Trial Summary

A qualitative multicentre study protocol. The prospective research explores clinical health workers with a diagnosis of endometriosis, experiencing regular pain and their perceptions of work ability-productivity.


Description:

Endometriosis has a significant impact on women at work physically, psychologically, and socially. Notably, pain is the most common reported concern, and considerably reduces work ability and productivity. However, previous research has principally focused on general workers, discounting the varied nature of work roles. Health workers appear to have an increased occupational risk of developing the condition, when compared with other shift workers and the general working population. Taking these findings into account, the prospective WORK ACHES study explores the relationship between clinical health workers' regular endometriosis pain, and their perceptions of work ability-productivity during such events. This multicentre qualitative study will invite employees with a diagnosis of endometriosis and working in clinical settings, to participate in the study. Recruitment will be carried out through study posters displayed in staff areas and occupational health departments, as well as snowballing methods. Semi-structured interviews will take place via Microsoft Teams to discuss participants' experiences of endometriosis pain at work and their work ability-productivity while symptomatic. Thematic analysis will be performed to interpret the data. The study has sought ethical approval from Birkbeck University of London's ethics Committee, the Integrated Research Application System and the Health Research Authority. Following the completion of the study, a summary of findings will be shared with participants and agreed hospitals. The full study report will also be disseminated to all parties involved and accessed through the University of London's library thesis collection and published in relevant specialty journals.
