Effects of the use of a shift schedule evaluation tool with ergonomic recommendations on employee wellbeing - a quasi-experiment in the Finnish healthcare sector
研究了芬兰公共部门7002名员工中，使用带工效学建议的轮班排班评估工具对员工幸福感的影响，发现个体层面心理困扰降低（风险比0.92），但科室层面未见显著关联。
We investigated the effects of a shift schedule evaluation tool with ergonomics recommendations on employee wellbeing. The study sample was from the Finnish Public Sector study (n = 7002 employees). The shift planners' use of the shift schedule evaluation tool was linked to employees' self-reported wellbeing outcomes. Inverse probability weights, reflecting the likelihood of the evaluation tool's use by the shift planner, were calculated using multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression for each participant and logistic regression for each ward. Wards using the tool (intervention group) were compared to those not using it (control group) with a generalized linear model. No association was found between the tool's use and wellbeing at the ward level. In the individual level, lower psychological distress was found in the intervention group (Risk ratio 0.92, 95 % Confidence interval 0.85-0.99). More rigorous use of the tool may be necessary to achieve significant benefits for wellbeing.
