Eksperymentalny: Self-management group workshops
Self-management group workshops: Participants randomized to the intervention arm will be asked to participate in group workshop sessions (10 hours total) led by a specially trained facilitator and provided over a span of approximately 2-3 months.
|
This intervention consists of multiple group workshop sessions (10 hours total) led by a specially trained facilitator and provided over a span of approximately 2-3 months.
The intervention incorporates standard elements of existing evidence-based pain and illness self-management efforts, but tailoring key messages and discussion elements to apply to workplace problems most relevant to workers with chronic medical conditions.
Each session is focused on different self-management strategies, with each session containing a mix of facilitator presentation, group discussion, case illustrations, role-play, completion of in-session self-assessments and activities, and brief homework assignments.
Approximately equal time is allocated to the topics of improving comfort, modifying work, communicating effectively, applying systematic problem-solving strategies, and dealing with negative thoughts and emotions.

Brak interwencji: No treament (wait-list control)
Wait-list control: Participants randomized to the control arm will receive no intervention during the one-year period of data collection, but they will be invited to attend a full-day Saturday workshop after all study data collection is complete).
The intent of the full-day workshop will be to provide the same self-management information as in the intervention arm, but on a delayed basis and in a more condensed format.

Work limitations
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
The Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ)(Lerner et al., 2003) is a 25-item self-report questionnaire that assesses the degree to which working individuals are experiencing limitations on-the-job due to their health problems and health-related productivity loss.
The WLQ asks respondents to rate their level of difficulty or ability to perform specific job demands.
Items are grouped into 4 scales: (1) time management; (2) physical demands; (3) mental-interpersonal demands; and (4) output demands.

Work engagement
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) (Demourati et al., 2001) is a 17-item self-report questionnaire that was designed to measure the degree to which employees have a sense of energetic and effective connection with their work activities (energy involvement) and see themselves as able to deal with the demands of their job (professional efficacy).
Respondents rate their level of agreement with stated feelings about work on a 7-point likert scale from "never" to "always".
Work engagement has been defined as a positive, fulfilling, work-related state of mind that is characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption.

Work fatigue
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
The Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale (OFER) (Winwood et al., 2005) is a 20-item self-report questionnaire that assesses the degree to which job activities produce acute fatigue, deplete available energy, and reduce the ability to engage in pleasurable activities outside of work.
Respondents rate their level of agreement on a 7-point likert scale from "completely disagree" to "completely agree".
|
One year
|
|
Turnover intention
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
A 4-item scale developed by Kelloway and colleagues (1999) will be used to assess turnover intentions.
The four questions are: "I am thinking about leaving this organization", "I am planning to look for a new job", "I intend to ask people about new job opportunities", and "I don't plan to be in this organization much longer".
Each item is rated on a 5-point likert scale from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree".

One year
|
|
Job satisfaction
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
A 2-item scale developed from prior work by the researchers will be used to assess job satisfaction.
The two questions are: "I like working for this company and expect to be here for another year or more" and "I would recommend this company to others".

|
Self-efficacy
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
A unique self-efficacy measure was developed for the project to be closely aligned with the content of the workshop program.
Ten items were adapted from the Pain Self-efficacy Questionnaire (Nicholas, 2007) and ten items were taken from the Return-to-work Self Efficacy (RTWSE-19) scale (Shaw et al., 2011).
The goal of the new measure is to assess worker confidence with respect to symptom management, job modification, communication, emotional coping, and obtaining needed support and assistance.

General health status
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
The Standard Form-36 (SF-36) (Ware et al., 1992) will be used to assess general health status.
This is the most well-validated and frequently used measure of generic health status in health research.
The SF-36 provides a single metric of health function regardless of diagnostic categories or illness classifications.

|
Sickness absence
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
Participants will be asked to recall the number of days in the past 6 months that they were absent from work because of their health.
Self-report has been shown to be a viable and reasonably accurate method for assessing sickness absence days in studies of employee health (Short et al., 2009).

|
Healthcare utilization
Ramy czasowe: One year
|
Participants will be asked to recall the number and type of health care visits over the past 6 months using a standardized set of reporting options and prompts.
Self-report has been shown to be a viable and reasonably accurate method for assessing health care utilization rates in studies of employee health (Short et al., 2009) and among individuals with chronic medical conditions (Lubeck & Hubert, 2005).
