Arbeidsmedisin - forskning

Forskning er en sentral oppgave for Avdeling for arbeidsmedisin. Vårt hovedfokus er generering av ny kunnskap samt å bidra til forebygging av arbeids- og miljørelatert sykdom.

Se våre oversikter over pågående og tidligere prosjekter samt publikasjoner.

Pågående prosjekter

Et spørreskjema om luftveisplager og risikofaktorer i arbeidsmiljø og miljø for øvrig, ble i 2013 sendt til et tilfeldig utvalg av 50.000 innbyggere i Telemark. Studien har som mål å kartlegge forekomst av luftveisplager og astma i fylket. Vi skal også undersøke hvilken betydning eksponering i arbeid, kjønn, alder fysisk aktivitet, allergi, andre sykdommer, boforhold og kosthold kan ha. P.t. pågår bearbeiding av data og non-responder undersøkelse. For mer informasjon, kontakt overlege PhD Anne Kristin M Fell.

Personer med lege-diagnostisert astma og en kontrollgruppe (ca 1500, hentet fra befolkningsstudien) ble innkalt til forskningspoliklinikken. Deltagerne i studien mottok et eget spørreskjema vedrørende spesifikk arbeidsrelatert eksponering, komorbiditet og pasient-rapporterte utfallsmål). De ble undersøkt med spirometri, måling av NO i utåndingsluft og diverse blodprøver, blant annet med tanke på inflammasjon. For mer informasjon, kontakt overlege PhD Anne Kristin M Fell.

Det gjøres gensekvensering av astmatikere og kontroller. Målet er å bidra til en bedre beskrivelse av forskjellige fenotyper av astma. Vi bruker metoden 'next generation gene sequensing' som kan finne også sjeldne genvarianter som muligens kan forklare en større del av arveligheten av astma enn tradisjonelle metoder hittil har gjort. Arbeidsrelatert astma og astmatikere med overvekt er spesielle fokusområder for prosjektet. For mer informasjon, kontakt overlege PhD Anne Kristin M Fell.
Prosjektet Telemarksstudien gjennomføres i samarbeid med blant annet professor Johny Kongerud ved UiO/Rikshospitalet, professor Kjell Toren ved Göteborgs universitet og Paul Henneberger fra National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, USA.

Avdelingen har vært en hovedaktør i utforming og gjennomføring av Norges største årlige arbeidsmiljøkartlegging. I 2014 gjennomfører alle 75 000 ansatte i Helse Sør-Øst, Helse Midt og Helse Nord medarbeiderundersøkelsen. Avdelingen er involvert i flere studier basert på dette unike materialet. Tema som studeres er blant annet effekt av lederes kontrollspenn på arbeidsmiljø og sykefravær, effekt av survey feedback metoden som verktøy i organisasjonsutvikling, arbeidsmiljøets påvirkning på 30 dagers dødelighet i norske sykehus og hvilke effekter har "Hovedstadsprosessen" hatt på arbeidsmiljøet ved sykehusene i regionen. Blant samarbeidspartnerne er SINTEF, NTNU, UiO, OUS og Kunnskapssenteret. For mer informasjon kontakt statistiker Martin Veel Svendsen.

En kohortstudie av 1997-årskullet med barn i Telemark. Fulgt fra 4. trinn i 2007 og følges opp frem til 2025. Spørreskjema til foreldre og barn/ungdom, objektiv måling av høyde og vekt samt fysisk aktivitet for et underutvalg. Totalt sett er ca 1 500 barn/ungdom med på en eller flere deler av studien. Samarbeid med Barne- og ungdomspsykiatrisk avdeling Sykehuset Telemark, Høgskolen i Telemark, Folkehelseinstituttet, NOFIMA og Universitetet i Agder. For mer informasjon kontakt statistiker Martin Veel Svendsen.

Tidligere prosjekter

Europeiske prospektiv studie som ledes av Statens Arbeidsmiljøinstitutt. Det ble undersøkt lungefunksjon og symptomer hos sementstøveksponerte ved sementfabrikker i 8 land. 4000 arbeidstakere gjennomførte spirometri og fylte ut et spørreskjema om luftveisplager, tre ganger over en periode på fire år. Det er gjort eksponeringsmålinger for å kunne studere dose-responsforhold. Datainnsamlingen er avsluttet og resultatene er publisert i European Respiratory Journal. For mer informasjon, kontakt overlege PhD Anne Kristin M Fell.

Studien undersøkte bakterielle årsaker til lungebetennelse hos pasienter innlagt med lungebetennelse ved Sykehuset Telemark og Sykehuset Østfold, samt andre karakteristika/risikofaktorer hos pasientgruppen. Det var spesielt fokus på Legionella som årsak til lungebetennelse og risikofaktorer og smittekilder for dette. Dette var et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom Sykehuset Telemark (arbeidsmedisinsk og medisinsk avdeling), Sykehuset Østfold (medisinsk avd. og mikrobiologisk laboratorium) og Unilabs Telelab (mikrobiologisk avdeling). Datainnsamlingen er avsluttet og resultatene er publisert i Clinical Respiratory Journal. For mer informasjon, kontakt overlege Wenche Røysted.
