Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the impact and cost effectiveness of a workplace-based intervention aimed at reducing prolonged occupational sitting among office-based workers. The study will be conducted in three phases. Phase I: is an Integrative review on economic evaluations of workplace-based interventions for reducing occupational sitting time. Phase II: is a secondary analysis of register data within the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC-1966). This is aimed at evaluating the association between prolonged sitting time with societal and/or organization economic perspective across different occupational categories at midlife. Phase III will be a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) of an office-based intervention designed to reduce prolonged occupational sitting time. The sample for the RCT will be 140 office-based workers - 70 participants will be enrolled in the control group whilst 70 participants will be enrolled within the intervention group. The study will be conducted from 2021 to 2025. An article-based dissertation will be completed at the end of the study, this will be mainly based on four articles that will be published in international peer reviewed journals.
Introduction: The food and beverages industry contributed a significant income to Malaysia's Gross Domestic Products. The contribution is projected to swell more in the upcoming years. As the industry expands, the demand for the workforce in the food premises will also continuously increase. They are exposed to risks arising from physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, and social hazards while performing their duties. Thus, it is essential for Food Industries Workers to be equipped with the proper knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards safety and health. Methods and analysis: Theory Based Intervention Module on Occupational Safety and Health (TRIMOSH) is a single blinded, cluster randomized controlled trial study will be implemented among Food Industries Workers in Selangor, Malaysia. Partnering with the Food Handler Training School in Selangor, 10 pairs of Food Handler Training School with 12 participants per group (n = 240) will be recruited for balanced randomization intervention and control conditions. Data collection of all participants will be at enrollment, one months and three months. Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) will be conducted to determine the effects of intervention within and between study groups. Primary outcomes are to increase knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) and secondary outcome is safe practice score at food premise. Ethic and Dissemination: his study has been submitted for approval by the Ethics Committee for Research involving Human Subject of Universiti Putra Malaysia (JKEUPM-2022-346). All participants will provide consent prior to participation. The results will be reported in international peer- reviewed journals and presented at conferences and other platforms.
The main objective is to identify specific risk factors for ANCA vasculitis of occupational and/or environmental origin (exposures identified by questioning, geographical distribution of cases) from the RNV3P data. The secondary objectives are as follows: - Description of cases of ANCA vasculitis seen in French occupational pathology consultation centres: - reasons for consultation, - occupational and environmental etiologies described - occupational situations responsible - aptitude notices - recognition as an occupational disease - Identification of specific risk factors for ANCA vasculitis of occupational and/or environmental origin (exposures identified on questioning, geographical distribution of cases). - For occupational and non-occupational cases of ANCA vasculitis: identification of difficulties encountered by patients at work and proposed work adaptations. - Estimation of the number of applications for recognition of disabled worker status made within this patient group. - Identification of clinical severity and autoimmune profiles of ANCA vasculitis of occupational and/or environmental origin.
