Summary

The main aim of the SujuKE study is to test the effectiveness of workplace cognitive ergonomics development program designed to decrease cognitively disrupting work conditions and work-related cognitive stress, and to improve work flow. The cognitive ergonomics workplace intervention includes cognitive ergonomics workshop, work experiments, and intervention task questionnaires. Its effect on changes in subjective measures of work conditions, work flow, stress, and work productivity will be studied. The hypothesis is that cognitive ergonomics intervention decreases the level of cognitive strain related to work conditions, and this change is associated with higher level in work flow, well-being, and productivity at work.

Conditions

  • Ergonomics

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CE - Cognitive Ergonomics (KERGO)

CE "Cognitive ergonomics Intervention" deals with themes such as disruptions, interruptions, information overload. A cognitive behaviour change method was applied in the intervention tasks. Both the tasks of discussing and developing new practices within the groups of individuals and the tasks for individuals were constructed to utilize mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII) method

BEHAVIORAL

RS - Recovery Support (KUORMA)

RS "Recovery Support / Stress Management Intervention" deals with themes such as workload management, recovery, work-family balance. A cognitive behaviour change method was applied in the intervention tasks. Both the tasks of discussing and developing new practices within the groups of individuals and the tasks for individuals were constructed to utilize mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII) method
