Table 1 Specification of the implementation strategy per Proctor et al.’s framework (reference [44])
Domain | Strategy 1: Recruitment by licensed social insurance consultants | Strategy 2: Online semi-structured lecture for employers/managers |
|---|---|---|
Actor(s) | Licensed social insurance consultants (cooperators of researchers) | Researchers in the University of Tokyo |
Action(s) | Introduce this research to relevant employers/managers of MSEs | Provides online semi-structured lecture via Zoom for 30–45 min |
Target of the action | Employers/managers of MSEs agree to participate in this research and to attend the online lecture from researchers in the University of Tokyo | Employers/managers of MSEs announce the intervention “WellBe-LINE” for employees in an effective manner to encourage them to participate as much as possible |
Temporality | At licensed social insurance consultants’ most convenient time (e.g., e-mail, poster, and online meeting) Researchers provided tools for licensed social insurance consultants to support the introduction of this study protocol - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBEq7ZsWJmc) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Y7jU3JO5Q) - Poster - E-mail template | Before announcement in the workplace for employees via Zoom for 30–45 min Contents - Self-introduction and research explanation (5 min) - Importance of mental health measures at MSEs (5 min) - Easy way to improve employees’ mental health (10 min) - Three psychological tips for engaging employees to participate mental health interventions (15 min) - Q and A (5 min) Determining the company’s culture through interview and consulting the strategy to attract employees (5 min) |
Dose | No restriction for the number of times to introduce this research | Once before company announcement for 30–45 min |
Outcomes affected | Employers/managers’ acceptability, and appropriateness | Employees’ penetration (primary), appropriateness Employers/managers’ acceptability, appropriateness, and fidelity |
Justification | Lack of knowledge about the impact of employees’ mental health on business [8] and not understanding the necessity of an appropriate approach [10] prohibits MSEs to adopt the intervention. Familiar licensed social insurance consultants can work as a stakeholder to motivate employers/managers of MSEs to take actions by introducing this research with customed explanations | Fundamental factors that influence the implementation of workplace health promotion in MSEs were the leadership engagement of employers [7]. Educating stakeholders is a possible recommended strategy if leadership engagement can be barriers in the context [27, 28] |
