The shift toward competency-based medical education has created a demand for feasible workplace-based assessment tools.
The results of the current study indicated that the accelerometer-based method is accurate and feasible at the workplace.
12 Similarly, integration of short bouts of physical activity into organisational routine may be more feasible in a workplace setting than long exhausting training sessions.
Furthermore, for physical exercise to be feasible in a workplace setting, the exercise should be easy to implement in the daily routines as this has a marked effect on training adherence.
To assess whether a walking intervention in a workplace is feasible adherence to walks will be assessed both objectively (using ActiPed data) and subjectively from diaries.
Interrupting sedentary time in this way could be feasible in domestic and workplace settings where adults sit for prolonged periods (36).
Given that our goal of capturing a range of VOC with this method was not achieved (either because of short term sampling or low product concentrations of target compounds), specific measurement of individual compounds may be more feasible to apply for workplace exposure assessment.
Of note, studies in Switzerland, Guatemala and Minnesota have showed that a full smoking ban in hospitals and workplaces is feasible and has led to a remarkable reduction in SHS exposure.
10 As most adults spend many hours at work several days a week, the workplace provides a feasible setting for health promotion.
In summary, our study demonstrates that the demand for competence-oriented clerkship preparation is high, and a peer tutor-led skills course is widely accepted and might be a feasible tool to ensure successful workplace learning.
However, because only minimal data collection, e.g., a single question posed, is feasible in a real-world workplace setting, the aim of this study was to investigate whether a minimum of perceived exertion reports obtained during the day could provide valuable evidence of a relationship between objectively assessed physical workload and perceived exertion of a full working day.
