Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Level of physical activity | The physical activity (PA) of the participants was assessed through the German version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire -Short Form (IPAQ-SF), which includes 6 questions searching the frequency (days per week) and duration (hours) of walking, as well as the intensity of physical activity in the last seven days. The IPAQ calculates the metabolic equivalent (MET) score by asking participants the days and minutes exercised in three categories of intensity (vigorous, moderate, and walking) during the previous one week. The following formula is used to calculate the MET: MET = 8 (vigorous activity)*(minutes) + 4 (moderate activity)*(minutes) +3.3 (walking activity)*(minutes). | at one point (baseline) | |
Primary | Measure stress-related work behaviour | Work-related Behaviour and Experience Patterns ("Arbeitsbezogenes Verhaltens- und Erlebensmuster" - AVEM) short test using a five-point answer scale to measure the three Dimensions Engagement, Resilience and Emotions. The 5-point Likert scales ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The points if the three Dimensions are assigned to the 2 patterns G ("Health") and S ("Unambitious") or the risk pattern A ("Overexertion") and B ("Burnout"). The higher percentage distribution on the patterns G and S is better, more points for the risk patterns A and B shows a poorer mental health. | at one point (baseline) | |
Primary | Prevalence of pain in nine region of the body with the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) | The Questionnaire evaluating the prevalence of pain (dichotomous scale, "yes" or "no") in the neck, shoulders, upper back, elbows, lower back, wrists/hands, hips/thighs, knees and ankles/feet at the last week and at the last 12 months. The prevalence can reach from 0% (no participant answered "yes") to 100% (all participants answered "yes"). | at one point (baseline) | |
Primary | Intensity of pain in nine region of the body with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | Subjects will report their pain intensity in the neck, shoulders, upper back, elbows, lower back, wrists/hands, hips/thighs, knees and ankles/feet at the last week and at the last 12 months by means of VAS. The VAS used for this study ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (heavy pain) points. | at one point (baseline) | |
Secondary | Big Five personality traits | The openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism will survey at the Trier Integrated Personality Inventory (TIPI). A ten-item measure of the Big Five personality dimensions - 2 items for each of the 5 dimensions. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale that ranges from 1 (disagree strongly) to 7 (agree strongly). The result shows the personal distribution of the personal Big 5 personality traits. | at one point (baseline) |
