AI Article Synopsis
- The article explores how including sex and gender (s/g) analysis in integrated knowledge translation (iKT) affects ergonomics and occupational health initiatives.
- It examines twelve intervention-research studies through thematic content analysis of interviews with 15 researchers, revealing various impacts on partners' perceptions, workplace conditions, practices, policies, and economic outcomes.
- Findings indicate that while explicitly discussing sex/gender often leads to broader system-level changes, it is less effective in directly altering workplace-level practices compared to interventions that do not focus on s/g analysis.
Article Abstract
The aim of this article is to examine the impacts of incorporating sex and gender (s/g) analysis in integrated knowledge translation (iKT) initiatives in the field of ergonomics and occupational health. The article presents findings based on a retrospective analysis of twelve intervention-research (IR) studies, including a thematic content analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with 15 researchers involved in these IRs. The findings offer an overview of various categories of impacts, such as changes in partners' views, in workplace settings and conditions, in practices and policies, and in economic outcomes. In these types of IR, health effects measurement is not the main objective, and direct health outcomes are difficult to assess. Explicitly talking about sex/gender led more often to system-level changes but less often to workplace-level changes, compared to interventions where sex/gender was not identified as a specific object of the intervention.
