Chapter 5: Study 3 - Protocol

Introduction

2. Worksite interventions to decrease sitting

Shrestha et al., 2018 Cochrane review
->Sit-stand desks not effective

Stephenson et al., 2017 most freq:
Prompts and cues
Self-monitoring
Social support (unspecified)
Goal setting (beh)
-> Need improved reporting

Exertime = in police context

Pedersen et al., (2013)
Mainsbridge et al., (2014)

+ Blood pressure, calories
- No follow up

Mainsbridge et al., (2020)

+ Exertime Tasmanian Police
+ Mood (POMS-SF Vigor and Fatigue) N.S., Stress (PSQ-Op&Org) Org decreased.
+ 13 week post-test, 26 week washout
- PSQ-Op?
- Small sample
- Lack theoretical underpinning needed e.g. BCW

Cooley et al., (2014)

+ Qualitative follow-up

Quite a few qual studies:
Dewitt et al., 2019 (need org support)

1. Wellbeing in Police

Highlighting the issue: Sedentary behaviour

Impacts on health

Impacts on wellbeing

Non-operational staff e.g., control room overlooked

3. Theoretical underpinning

Howlett et al., 2020 COM-B and TPB predictive validity

Behavioural regulation, Social influences

- Theory is only one approach
Research lending from PA?

Habit strength

5. Aim and Objectives of the chapter

AIM: To assess the feasibility of an intervention to reduce sitting time in police control room workers

OBJ 1: To use a co-design approach to develop an acceptable and feasible solution to prolonged sitting in the control room context

OBJ 2: To use the Behaviour Change Wheel to design an intervention that reduces sitting time in police control room workers

OBJ 3:

O'Cathain et al., 2019:
Development = whole process of int developmet
Design = Point in process where developers decide content, format, delivery

4. Design Processes

Review of potential processes to design interventions
See O'Cathain et al., 2019 (8) processes

Descriptions of co-design principles office setting

Target population-centred (2) Participatory

SMArT Work

Munir et al., 2015 Protocol
+ Systematic BCW
+ Support through researcher

How as important as what!
e.g., Hardcastle et al., 2017

Edwardson et al., 2018 RCT
+ Effective long-term
- Support measure broad

Double Diamond (1 - Partnership)

Efficiency based (5) Stand Up Victoria

Neuhaus et al., 2014
+ Iterative development
+ Multi-level, multi-component

-> Bryne et al., 2020 need causal pathways
MoA (Carey et al., 2018), need to isolate BCT effects (Hagger et al., 2020)

Dunstan et al., 2013 Protocol
- Measures

Hadgraft et al., 2017 RCT
-> Need to understand interpersonal infl

-> Bryne et al., 2020 need context to advance field
Miller et al., 2019 review

Hadgraft et al., 2016 Qual

Theory driven (3)

BCW
+ Widely used, BCTs comparable
- Need to make MoA & causal pathways clear
- Final decision with researcher

Koykka et al., 2019
(Action planning - habits)

+ Multiple theories - BCW, TPB, IM
+ Paid attention to context (teachers)

Implementation based (4) RE-AIM

MacDoanld et al., 2018 systematic review
Low adoption and maintenance reported

Combined approach (8)

Needs to be formal?

Discussion

Chapter 6??

Changing personnel (6 month role rotation?)

Intervention Design Process

The Behaviour Change Wheel

STEP 1: COM-B: Selecting what the intervention is aiming to do and how it is doing it

Defining the problem

Identify what needs to be changed

Discussing / justifying focus with supervisory team

STEP 2: Intervention functions

Identify what you want intervention to do: Modelling behaviour / changing habits

Discuss, justify and agree options with supervisory team

Present options to steering group, with consideration of criteria

Feasibility of options through shift shadowing

STEP 3: Develop Behaviour change techniques

Describe and justify techiques: Consequences / Environmental cues and promps / instruction on how to perform a behaviour / self-monitoring / social support

Raising awareness - sitting invisible (Gardner et al., 2019)

Descriptive norms (Kim et al., 2017 PA; Preibe & Spink, 2011 SB)
