The study follows a sequential, mixed-methods model involving three stages. The first stage will involve the dissemination of a questionnaire survey, in which participants will self-estimate their sedentary behaviour on a working day and on a non-working day. The second stage will involve the use of thigh-worn accelerometers and a sleep/work log to obtain objective data regarding sedentary behaviour among a purposive subset of participants who responded to the questionnaire. The third stage will involve semi-structured interviews with a purposive subset of participants who wore the accelerometers, which will be analysed with the application of a theoretical framework regarding the acceptability of healthcare interventions.
