坐着工作的人长时间不间断地坐着，这与发病率和过早死亡有关。以前的工作场所干预试验已经证明了提供坐立两用工作站和管理动机行为改变技术的潜力，以减少坐着的时间。然而，很少有研究将这些方法结合起来，或探索离散减少坐着行为改变策略的可接受性。本文描述了减少坐着干预的基本原理，将坐立工作站与激励技术相结合，并介绍了一项试点研究的程序，以探索大学办公室工作人员对核心干预成分的可接受性。干预是基于理论和基于证据的分析，为什么办公室工作人员坐着，以及如何最好地减少坐着的时间。它旨在提高积极性和能力，并找出减少坐着时间所需的机会。30名办公室工作人员将参与这项试点研究。他们将完成一项最初的提高意识监测和反馈任务，随后接受为期12周的坐立两用工作站。他们还将从一份行为改变技巧的“菜单”中进行选择，这些技巧是根据他们自己宣称的减少坐着的障碍量身定制的，有效地共同生产和个人定制他们的干预措施。干预后1、6和12周的访谈将探讨干预的可接受性。据我们所知，这将是第一个探索办公室员工对他们收到的离散量身定制的减少坐着干预成分的可接受性的直接反馈的研究。参与者对干预技术的选择和思考将有助于确定适合纳入下一次干预的策略，这些干预将以自我管理的形式提供，以尽量减少资源负担。ISRCTN29395780（注册于2016年11月21日）本文在线版本（10.1186/s40814-017-0191-2）包含补充内容，授权用户可查阅。
Desk-based workers engage in long periods of uninterrupted sitting time, which has been associated with morbidity and premature mortality. Previous workplace intervention trials have demonstrated the potential of providing sit-stand workstations, and of administering motivational behaviour change techniques, for reducing sitting time. Yet, few studies have combined these approaches or explored the acceptability of discrete sitting-reduction behaviour change strategies. This paper describes the rationale for a sitting-reduction intervention that combines sit-stand workstations with motivational techniques, and procedures for a pilot study to explore the acceptability of core intervention components among university office workers. The intervention is based on a theory and evidence-based analysis of why office workers sit, and how best to reduce sitting time. It seeks to enhance motivation and capability, as well as identify opportunities, required to reduce sitting time. Thirty office workers will participate in the pilot study. They will complete an initial awareness-raising monitoring and feedback task and subsequently receive a sit-stand workstation for a 12-week period. They will also select from a ‘menu’ of behaviour change techniques tailored to self-declared barriers to sitting reduction, effectively co-producing and personally tailoring their intervention. Interviews at 1, 6, and 12 weeks post-intervention will explore intervention acceptability. To our knowledge, this will be the first study to explore direct feedback from office workers on the acceptability of discrete tailored sitting-reduction intervention components that they have received. Participants’ choice of and reflections on intervention techniques will aid identification of strategies suitable for inclusion in the next iteration of the intervention, which will be delivered in a self-administered format to minimise resource burden.
