Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Prolonged workplace sitting is a significant risk factor for chronic diseases.
  • Office workers spend a substantial amount of time sedentary.
  • Previous interventions have explored reducing workplace sitting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore participant perspectives on a multi-component intervention targeting prolonged workplace sitting.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators to reducing sitting time in the office environment.
  • To assess the perceived impact on workplace culture, productivity, and health.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews (n=21) and focus groups (n=7).
  • Thematic analysis was applied to data collected post-intervention.
  • Intervention participants from the Stand Up Victoria trial were included.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported positive experiences and perceived health benefits from reduced sitting.
  • Sit-stand workstations were key, but design and task suitability posed barriers.
  • Social support and team leader encouragement facilitated behavioral change and norm shifts.

Conclusions:

  • Multi-component interventions with sit-stand workstations are acceptable and feasible for reducing workplace sitting.
  • Supportive social and environmental conditions are essential for participant engagement.
  • Addressing multiple levels of influence is key for effective workplace sitting reduction strategies.
