Factors facilitating and hindering the implementation of digital sleep coaching for bus drivers
研究识别了公交公司实施数字睡眠辅导的促进和阻碍因素,发现灵活参与和多渠道信息有助于实施,而疫情限制社交支持和缺乏兴趣则构成障碍,对关注职业司机健康的管理者有用。
Improving fatigue management is critical to the occupational safety of professional drivers. We aimed to identify the factors that facilitated or hindered the implementation of digital sleep coaching in bus companies and to explore bus drivers' experiences with it. Two bus companies implemented coaching for bus drivers. Using a mixed methods design, we collected data through two workshops (n = 30 and n = 27) attended by key personnel from the organisations and through questionnaires to the drivers (n = 30). Implementation was facilitated by, for example, the flexible participation and multichannel information of coaching, and hindered by restrictions on social support due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and lack of interest and inspiring examples. On average, the drivers rated the appropriateness and the feasibility of coaching as good. However, further development could lead to wider dissemination. It would also be important to involve the key people in the organisations and stakeholders more in supporting the implementation.
