97 Grip on Health intervention among lower socioeconomic position workers Table 3. Characteristics of participants in the intervention Characteristics N Type of occupations Administrative related (e.g. secretary worker) Manufacturing related (e.g. production worker) Service related (e.g. service desk, kitchen worker) Health related (e.g. home care worker) Unknown 7 10 4 2 4 Blue-collar occupation Non-blue-collar occupation 14 13 Type of contract Number of hours according to contract Mean 35.3 (24-40 hours) Sex Man Woman 15 12 Age <35 years 35-55 years >55 years 7 13 7 Chronic disease Yes No 14 13 Some, OHPs mentioned that professionals outside occupational health care, such as social workers or general practice nurses, could also deliver the intervention, as they are better able to reach lower SEP workers with problems on multiple life domains. However, in case there are problems at the workplace it is important that these professionals refer workers to OHPs or collaborate with them. Dose delivered OHPs needed on average 3 to 4 consultations to deliver the intervention. Among 16 workers all intended intervention steps were delivered. Step 6: solution analysis, step 7: action plan and step 8: evaluation, were delivered the least, because workers were not willing to continue, the intervention led to undesirable results for the worker, the worker and employer were unable to come to an agreement or had a conflict, or the OHP was not involved in these steps. In the interviews, half of the OHPs reported they had insufficient time to deliver the intervention as intended. Discussing problems on multiple life domains can take a lot of time, as was stated by an OHP: OHP4: For that part you actually need an hour according to this method, and I only had half an hour. Then you just find out that to discuss problems on multiple life domains, you can’t do that in half an hour. So, I had to do that in two parts. 4
