About this study
Official title: Promotion of Nurses' Lower Extremity Health by Foot(at)Work Intervention to Support Work Wellbeing
The quasiexperimental study aims to analyse the effecs of Foot(at)Work intervention on nurses' lower extremity health. The Foot(at)Work intervention is in electronic format consisting of 5 themes. The idea is that the participants familiarizes with the foot health -related content. The primary outcome is knowledge about lower extremity self-care. Secondary outcomes are work well-being, lower extremity health and musculoskeletal health. The outcomes are measured before the intervention (M0), after the intervention (M1), one month after the intervention (M2), six months after the intervention (M3) and 12 months after the intervention (M4).
The purpose of the Foot(at)Work intervention is to support nurses ability to self-care their lower extremities. The intervention consists of text, videos, and pictures that educate nurses to self-care their lower extremities and to select proper footwear.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Foot(at)Work interventionBehavioural
Foot(at)Work intervention is targeted for nurses working in clinical settings to promote their competence in lower extremity health self-care.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention group | Experimental | Foot(at)Work intervention will be offered to participant sin the intervention group. The Foot(at)Work intervention lasts for 5 weeks. The intervention is constructed on electronic learning environment consisting of 5 themes illustrating self-care activities for common foot problems among nursing professionals. The idea of self-directed learning is to support nurses competence to self-care their lower extremities and thus, promote their work wellbeing in clinical nursing environments. Receives: Behavioral: Foot(at)Work intervention |
| Control group | No intervention | The control group will work and live as usual. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Knowledge of lower extremity self-care
Knowledge will be measured with self-administered questionnaira that contains 20 items (response options yes-no) about self-care for lower extremity problems.
Measured: before intervenion, right after the intervention, one, six and 12 months after the intervention
Secondary outcomes (3)
Self-assessed foot health
Self-Administered Foot Health Assessment Instrument (S-FHAI) will measure subjective self-assessment measure of current foot health with 22 items. Four subcategories were included: skin health (12 items), nail health (4 items), foot structure (5 items), and foot pain (1 item).
Measured: before intervenion, right after the intervention, one, six and 12 months after the intervention
Musculoskeletal health
Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire will be used as self-report measure to assess the impact of a musculoskeletal condition on an individual's functioning and on the impact of the condition on daily activities.
Measured: before intervenion, right after the intervention, one, six and 12 months after the intervention
Self-perceived work ability
Work ability index: one question where respondent indicates the level of perceived current work ability. Range 1-10 where 1 indicates not capable of working - 10 best possible work ability.
Measured: before intervenion, right after the intervention, one, six and 12 months after the intervention
