Summary

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.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

ISKE

The intervention will consist of an e-health software Programme that we have named "Istumisen Keskeyttäminen (ISKE)" will be installed on the desktop of participants. Functionality of the software: the primary purpose of the software is to remind users (basically office-based workers) to take a break on a regular basis (recommended time 30 minutes). At the end of the workday, the software provides information on the number of breaks taken and how long each lasted. The user will also have access to such information. What happens during the prompted break: once the software prompts the user to take a break, she/he can click the Continue button to proceed with the break. The software will include activities that are suggested for the user to do during break. After the break, the record of the time (duration of the break, and when the break was taken) can be taken.
