Magistrska naloga temelji na strokovni obravnavi zaposlenih v finančnih inštitucijah (Adriatic Slovenica, UniCredit banka, Sberbank banka), ki delo opravljajo v sedečem položaju. Zajema teoretično obravnavo negativnih vplivov sedečega delovnega mesta in stresa v finančnih inštitucijah ter analizo vpliva aktivnih ukrepov promocije zdravja na izboljšanje določenih parametrov zdravja zaposlenih. V evropski projekt, ki ga je izvedel ZVD pod okriljem ZZZS, so bili vključeni pisarniški delavci obeh spolov, stari med 25 in 60 let, ki so na sedečem delovnem mestu zaposleni od 1 do 35 let. Vseh udeležencev je bilo, sodeč po izpolnjenih vprašalnikih, 299. Udeležencev telesne vadbe, ki so izpolnili pogoje za ponovno testiranje, je bilo 61, v kontrolni skupini pa je bilo 28 oseb. Projekt je trajal eno leto. Najprej smo izvedli testiranja (na aktivnih udeležencih programa in v kontrolni skupini), da smo izvedeli, s katerimi težavami, ki so posledica sedečega delovnega mesta ter delovnega mesta v finančnih inštitucijah, se srečujejo zaposleni (težave s telesno držo, kostno-mišična obolenja, telesna sestava, stres). Nadaljevali smo z izvajanjem štirih različnih telesnih aktivnosti (tek, nordijska hoja, fitnes, skupinska telovadba) ter z izobraževanjem zaposlenih (organizirana predavanja, pošiljanje strokovnih člankov z izbranimi temami). Na koncu smo ponovno izvedli testiranja. Primerjava rezultatov obeh testiranj nam je dala naslednje ugotovitve: Pisarniški delavci imajo težave s telesno držo in občutijo posledice kostno-mišičnih obolenj, njihovo delo pa je večinoma zelo stresno. 10-tedenska telesna vadba je pozitivno vplivala na izboljšanje telesne pripravljenosti, na dvig telesne aktivnosti in celo na spremembo telesne drže. Pri pisarniških delavcih so se namreč zmanjšali subjektivni simptomi kostno-mišičnih obolenj, nismo pa zaznali pomembnih sprememb v telesni sestavi. Ugotovili smo tudi pozitiven vpliv izobraževanja pisarniških delavcev, ki je povečalo zavedanje o pomenu zdravega načina življenja in izboljšalo splošno počutje pisarniških delavcev. Na koncu smo na podlagi naših ugotovitev vključenim finančnim inštitucijam izdali priporočila za izboljšanje zdravstvenega stanja zaposlenih.

• Title: Active Measures to Promote Health at a Sedentary Workplace

Abstract

The master's thesis is based on the professional treatment of employees in financial institutions (Adriatic Slovenica, UniCredit Bank, Sberbank banka) who perform sedentary work. It includes a theoretical treatment of the negative effects of sedentary work and stress in financial institutions, as well as an analysis of the impact of active health promotion measures on the improvement of certain parameters of the employees’ health. The European project, implemented by ZVD (Institute of Occupational Safety) under the auspices of ZZZS (Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia), included office workers of both sexes, aged between 25 and 60, who have been employed in a sedentary position from 1 to 35 years. Judging by the completed questionnaires, there were 299 participants. 67 of them were actively involved in physical activities, and the control group consisted of 28 people. The project lasted one year. First, we conducted tests (on active program participants, as well as on the control group) to find out what problems employees face as a result of a sedentary job in addition to a job in a financial institution (e. g. posture problems, musculoskeletal disorders, body composition, stress). We continued the project by implementing four different physical activities (running, Nordic walking, fitness, group exercise) and with the education of employees (organized lectures, sharing professional articles with selected topics). Finally, we ran the tests again. A comparison of the results of both tests gave us the following findings: Office workers have problems with posture and feel the consequences of musculoskeletal disorders; moreover, their work is mostly very stressful. 10 weeks of physical exercise had a positive effect on improving their physical fitness, increasing their physical activity and even changes in posture. Namely, the subjective symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders decreased in office workers, but we did not detect significant changes in body composition. We also found a positive impact of educating office workers, which increased awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and improved the general well-being of office workers. Finally, based on our findings, we issued recommendations to the involved financial institutions to improve the health of their employees.
