Description:

Objective

To report findings from a proof-of-concept trial designed to examine the feasibility and estimate the efficacy of the “Be Well, Work Well” workplace intervention.

Methods

The intervention included consultation for nurse managers to implement changes on patient care units and educational programming for patient care staff to facilitate improvements in safety and health behaviors. We used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate feasibility and efficacy.

Results

Using findings from process tracking and qualitative research, we observed challenges to implementing the intervention due to the physical demands, time constraints and psychological strains of patient care. Using survey data, we found no significant intervention effects.

Conclusions

Beyond educating individual workers, system-wide initiatives that respond to conditions of work may be needed to transform the workplace culture and broader milieu in support of worker health and safety.
