Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to reduce sick leave and improve wellbeing. This is measured as physical and mental health, general work ability, work-life balance, manager support and completed work adjustments among pregnant health care professionals. It is hypothesised that pregnant employees participating in preventive sessions with their manager and a midwife in addition to the hospital standard pregnancy policy management will have less sick leave and report better wellbeing compared to the reference group.


Clinical Trial Description

Sick leave during pregnancy is frequent and studies report proportions of employees on sick leave between 36-75%. Reasons for sick leave in early pregnancy are nausea, vomiting and dizziness whereas Braxton Hicks contractions, low back and pelvic girdle pain are more common in late pregnancy. Further, sick leave is strongly associated with working conditions and appropriate work adjustment. The study design is cluster randomization with participation of all departments at Aarhus University Hospital (AUH), Denmark. Half of the departments are randomized to the intervention and the remaining to the reference group. The intervention group will receive a protocolized intervention with midwifery support as an add-on to usual practice. The reference group will receive protocolized usual practice. Data are obtained from the hospital payment system and by survey (RedCap). The sample size is calculated to find a difference of ≥ 7 days with a standard deviation of 25. To achieve a statistical power of 80% with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05 an estimated 202 participants will be required in each of the groups. ;
