    Validation du modèle des comportements préventifs au travail : une étude Delphi
    (Union professionnelle des ergothérapeutes belges francophones et germaphones, 2021-01-04) Lecours, Alexandra
    Afin de favoriser un retour en emploi sain et durable pour les travailleurs ayant subi une lésion professionnelle, les ergothérapeutes peuvent utiliser divers leviers, dont optimiser les comportements préventifs des travailleurs. Ces comportements préventifs sont complexes et influencés largement par des facteurs intrinsèques à la personne, mais aussi par des facteurs liés au contexte du travail, ou encore à la société. Afin d’offrir une compréhension approfondie des comportements préventifs, des travaux de recherche théoriques et empiriques récents ont permis de proposer le modèle des comportements préventifs au travail. Pour assurer la validité de contenu du modèle, une consultation Delphi a été menée auprès d’experts scientifiques dans le domaine de la santé occupationnelle. Les résultats générés accordent une crédibilité scientifique au modèle et suggèrent des leviers pour soutenir les ergothérapeutes dans l’habilitation des travailleurs à retourner au travail et à y préserver leur santé.

    Preventive behavior at work : a concept analysis
    (Taylor & Francis, 2016-10-13) Lecours, Alexandra; Therriault, Pierre-Yves
    Background: Preventive behaviour is a significant intervention target in order to promote health at work, but has never been discussed in an occupational perspective. Aim: To clarify the concept of preventive behaviour at work. Methods: The Walker and Avant (2011) method was used to conduct the study. Results: The attributes of the concept are: (1) compliance with safety rules and procedures, (2) proactivity, participation, engagement and initiatives related to prevention, (3) maintenance of physical environment, (4) concern for social environment and (5) reflexivity and analytical skills of work situations. The analysis also identified the antecedents and the consequences of the concept that are all related to either the person, the environment or the occupation. Conclusion: Preventive behaviour occurs when a worker shows an active involvement to comply with safety rules and procedures of his trade, takes initiatives to improve prevention, preserves his physical environment, communicates with his peers and analyses work situations before committing to it. Significance: Occupational therapists have a central role in primary prevention of work injuries and have the expertise to help develop each of the five attributes of the concept of preventive behaviour.

    Habiliter les travailleurs à la prévention : description des pratiques des ergothérapeutes visant la mise en place des antécédents du comportement préventif au travail
    (Communaute pour l'Avancement de la Recherche Appliquee Francophone en Ergotherapie, 2019-05-20) Lecours, Alexandra; Therriault, Pierre-Yves
    Introduction. Les ergothérapeutes détiennent une expertise unique pour habiliter les travailleurs à adopter des comportements de prévention. Or, leurs pratiques en cette matière sont encore peu documentées. Objectif. Cette étude vise à décrire les pratiques des ergothérapeutes québécois quant à la mise en place des antécédents du comportement préventif chez leurs clients travailleurs. Méthode. Selon un devis de recherche descriptif mixte, des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été menées auprès de 13 ergothérapeutes œuvrant en santé au travail. En plus de décrire les pratiques concrètes des ergothérapeutes, les entrevues visaient à documenter l’importance, la fréquence et la pertinence accordées à chacun des antécédents dans le processus ergothérapique. Le contenu des entrevues a été analysé à l’aide d’analyses quantitatives simples et par une stratégie qualitative d’analyse de contenu. Résultats. Les participants intègrent diverses pratiques soutenant la mise en place des neuf antécédents du comportement préventif. Discussion. Il semble que les ergothérapeutes adoptent davantage de pratiques liées aux antécédents concernant la personne et l’occupation, qu’en ce qui a trait à l’environnement. De plus, les interventions actuelles se résument principalement à la sensibilisation et à la transmission d’information. Conclusion. Il est espéré que les résultats de cette étude permettront aux ergothérapeutes d’avoir accès à des pistes d’interventions concrètes visant l’habilitation des travailleurs aux comportements de prévention, renforçant ainsi leur rôle dans ce champ de pratique émergent.

    French transcultural validation of the Compliance with Safety Behavior Scale
    (IOS Press, 2016-12-31) Lecours, Alexandra; Therriault, Pierre-Yves
    BACKGROUND: Preventive behavior of workers is a major determinant of occupational health and safety performance of an organization. The measure of this concept is a challenge with French-speaking workers as there is no existing French validated tool. OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this research was to realize a French transcultural validation of the Compliance with Safety Behavior Scale (CSBS). METHOD: Steps of parallel translations, reverse translation and pre-test were conducted before the administration of the CSBS to 195 participants. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted; Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients were calculated for each subscale; and intra-class correlation coefficients were calculated for each item. RESULTS: Exploratory factor analyses support a three-factor structure explaining 53.44 % of the variance and confirmatory factor analyses validate that the measuring tool reflects three distinct factors, which are 1) compliance with safety rules and procedures, 2) participation and initiatives related to prevention, and 3) concern for social and physical environment. Results demonstrate that internal consistency is satisfying for two subscales (0.80 < α< 0.82) and that eight items are highly reliable (0.71 < r < 0.99, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The French version of the CSBS represents a valid and reliable tool allowing its use both for research and for clinical practice.

    Evaluation of occupational therapy workshops to prevent work-related injuries or illnesses among vocational students
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2017-11-02) Lecours, Alexandra; Therriault, Pierre-Yves
    The few studies aiming to evaluate prevention interventions provided by occupational therapists in health at work were conducted in work settings. However, to intervene in primary prevention, developing occupational therapy interventions with students learning a trade is relevant. The objective is to evaluate workshops designed and set up by occupational therapists on vocational students’ preventive behavior at work. A systematic approach was used to design and set up the prevention workshops for students of cooking and hairstyling programs. Evaluation focused on three variables: (1) satisfaction with workshops, (2) apprenticeship, and (3) behavior observed. Results were positive on the three variables. Also, students who took part in the workshops showed near 15% (p < 0.05) more preventive behavior than those who received the traditional prevention training only. This study supports the effective role of occupational therapists to promote vocational students’ preventive behavior at work. The promising results open the door to the arrival of occupational therapists in vocational training centers.

    Supporting vocational students' development of preventive behaviour at work : a phenomenological analysis of teachers' experiences
    (University of Bremen, 2017-04-26) Lecours, Alexandra; Therriault, Pierre-Yves
    Statistics indicate that even if young workers complete vocational training,as a group they are at risk of sustaining injury. It appears that a lack of training inthe area of injury prevention may explain some of this effect. Teachers are consideredto be key actors in injury-prevention training and in the process of developing students’preventive behaviour at work, but little is known about the reality. The objective ofthis study was to understand how teachers experience their activities in support of stu-dents’ development of injury-prevention behaviour at work. Semi-structured interviewswere conducted with eleven teachers from four different vocational training programs.The content of the interviews was then examined using phenomenological analysis. Re-sults show representations participants form of occupational health and safety, of injury-prevention behaviour and of their roles as teachers in relation to prevention. A closer lookat these roles reveals the daily challenges teachers encounter. Among other things, thereseems to be a lack of continuity in the training process, insufficient pedagogical resourcesand resistance on the students’ part. Results offer an insight into teachers’ experiencewith their part in the support of vocational students’ development of injury-preventingbehaviour. It appears they recognize having to play an active role in the development ofinjury-preventing behaviour at work among students, but have to face daily challengesaffecting their teaching. Results of this study can serve as a starting point to makeimprovements to the injury-prevention training offered in vocational training centres.

    Young workers’ motivation to adopt safe behaviour : French validation of the Self-Determined Safety Motivation Scale
    (Canadian Psychological Association, 2018-04-01) Lecours, Alexandra; Therriault, Pierre-Yves
    The adoption of safe work behaviour is largely related to workers’ motivation toward safety. Assessment of young French workers’ motivation toward safety is a challenge since no validated tool exists. The aim of this study was to translate into French the Self-Determined Safety Motivation Scale (SDSMS). Steps of parallel translation, against-translation, and pretest were conducted, prior to the administration to 225 participants. Results of exploratory factor analyses supported a five-factor structure, and confirmatory factor analyses suggested the questionnaire is in line with the Self-Determination Theory. However, results question the nature and relevance of the integrated motivation. Internal consistency was satisfactory for each subscale, and test–retest reliability was high for the majority of items. The French version of SDSMS is a reliable and valid tool for use in research and in practice.

    Preventive behaviour at work of vocational students
    (Triangle Journals, 2017-12-27) Lecours, Alexandra; Therriault, Pierre-Yves
    Background: Statistics suggest young workers are a group at high risk of sustaining injury. Vocational students are frequently included in the ‘young workers’ group, with all other different types of workers aged 24 or less. However, the literature exposes vocational students as having specific descriptive characteristics, suggesting that this subgroup might differ from other ‘young workers’. The literature offers little description of this population towards prevention at work. The aim of the study was to explore factors associated with vocational students’ preventive behaviour at work. Methods: The study was conducted with 129 participants following a predictive correlational design. Preventive behaviour and some personal, occupational and environmental factors were recorded by validated questionnaires. Multiple regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with vocational students’ preventive behaviour at work. Results: Findings showed the majority of vocational students had a moderate level of preventive behaviour at work. Most relevant factors associated with preventive behaviour at work for this specific population were: (1) type of prevention training, (2) autonomous motivation, (3) study programme and (4) type of school. Conclusion: Vocational students are a specific population and it is important to work on relevant factors during their studies to help them become involved towards prevention.

    Conception et évaluation d’ateliers de formation visant à développer un comportement préventif au travail chez les élèves en apprentissage d’un métier
    (Amis de PISTES, 2017-11-01) Lecours, Alexandra; Sauvageau, Anick; Cantin, Noémi; Therriault, Pierre-Yves
    La formation à la prévention offerte dans les programmes de formation professionnelle présente plusieurs lacunes, faisant en sorte que les apprentissages qui y sont faits seraient peu mobilisés à l’entrée sur le marché du travail. Il appert, entre autres, que les ressources pédagogiques utilisées ne cibleraient pas les risques à la santé spécifiques au métier. Concevoir et évaluer des ateliers de formation visant le développement d’un comportement préventif au travail chez les élèves des programmes de secrétariat et de réalisation d’aménagements paysagers. Un processus systématique a été suivi pour concevoir les ateliers de formation. L’évaluation a porté sur trois variables : 1) la perception des apprenants, 2) les apprentissages réalisés et 3) le comportement préventif. Les résultats de cette étude décrivent la démarche de conception des ateliers de formation et suggèrent une amélioration significative sur les trois variables à la suite de la participation des élèves à ces mêmes ateliers. La démarche de conception des ateliers de formation détaillée dans cet article permet la réplication dans d’autres programmes de formation professionnelle. Des bases empiriques sont maintenant connues et peuvent servir de références dans l’élaboration d’études futures.

    Using an occupational perspective to understand behaviours fostering the prevention of work-related health problems : a proposed conceptual model
    (Taylor & Francis, 2019-04-04) Lecours, Alexandra
    Work is an occupation valued by billions of individuals across cultures and societies. As a determinant of health, work may have several positive effects on individuals’ well-being. However, it may also have negative effects as accidents, physical illnesses, or transient mental disorders may occur. Workers’ preventive behaviours appear to be a relevant means to help prevent work-related health problems, but no clear definition exists. An occupational perspective (Njelesani, Tang, Jonsson, & Polatajko, 2014) seems a promising way to understand the characteristics defining preventive behaviours at work. This study aimed to define preventive behaviours at work, in order to understand their operational characteristics. To achieve this aim, secondary qualitative analysis based on data collected during three prior studies was conducted. Six types of preventive behaviours were identified. Those are realized into a context, which involves several factors related to the person, occupation and environment. Results also suggest those behaviours may lead to positive outcomes on different health indicators. Interpretation of results according to the five dimensions of the occupational perspective led to a proposed Model of Preventive Behaviours at Work. This study demonstrates how occupational science might increase understanding of the engagement of individuals in their actions, in relation to their context. It also shed light on how doing can contribute to health and well-being, in an application related to the occupation of work.
