Adaptation and scaling-up an effective intervention to childcare institutions in Copenhagen – a pilot study of the Copen-SCALE intervention
Prevention of pain-related sickness absence in childcare workers
This study is an evaluation of an intervention being implemented by working environment consultants at Copenhagen municipality (ie. an intervention not delivered by the research team). The intervention’s primary aim is to reduce pain-related sickness absence in childcare workers by addressing four elements. These four elements are 1) ergonomics, 2) children’s self-reliance and motor skills, 3) education in prevention and handling pain, and 4) health-promoting physical activity at work. The intervention will be delivered over a 6-8 month period in each institution. This study will evaluate the fidelity and feasibility of the intervention, as well as the adaptions required to the intervention to enable implementation. Moreover, the researchers will evaluate the feasibility of the evaluation design (e.g. the content of the questionnaires, delivery methods and response rates). There is no control group for the pilot study.
