Transcripts from these were analysed by standard qualitative methods to identify common and related themes.<\/jats:p>Results:<\/jats:bold>The views of managers differed significantly from those of print workers in a number of areas, and working practices did not always follow policy. The majority of printers did not perceive dermatitis to be a major problem, although many complained of dry hands. Other key results included: the lack of skin care policy in most companies; poor understanding of the nature, causes, and treatment of dermatitis; low priority of dermatitis within health and safety concerns; little or no provision of occupational health services, particularly skin checks; variability in provision of and access to appropriate skin protection; and lack of accessible washing facilities.<\/jats:p>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>As a result it was decided to evaluate the implementation of four interventions: provision of (1) skin checks and treatment advice; (2) gloves of the correct type and size, and use of an after-work cream; (3) information on dermatitis within the printing industry; and (4) development of best practice skin care policy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2005.023523","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,23]],"date-time":"2006-03-23T17:28:51Z","timestamp":1143134931000},"page":"261-266","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Intervention development in occupational research: an example from the printing industry"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"T P","family":"Brown","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Rushton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H C","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J S C","family":"English","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052223093596000_63.4.261.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2004.016097"},{"key":"2024052223093596000_63.4.261.2","first-page":"763","volume":"36","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Occup Med"},{"key":"2024052223093596000_63.4.261.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"616","DOI":"10.1097\/00043764-200107000-00008","volume":"43","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2024052223093596000_63.4.261.4","unstructured":"Robson LS, Shannon HS, Goldenhar LM, et al.
