mHealth Intervention for Work-Related Stress

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the trial is to pilot test the study protocol of a preventive, low-intensive mobile health (mHealth) intervention for work-related stress among nursing students. Work stress is a wide-spread problem affecting individual health as well as incurring substantial societal costs. mHealth solutions are among the most promising options for providing effective, scalable, and standardized interventions to employees.

Clinical Trial Description

Researchers generally agree that recovery is a key buffer against the negative consequences of stress. Recovery behaviors, such as mindfulness and physical activity, are well-known to have a positive effect on stress-related health problems. For this reason, a behavior change intervention that successfully improves recovery may be effective in combating the long-term effects of stress. In this pilot study, three groups of participants received different versions of an intervention, each version containing a distinct set of recovery strategies. The motivation of the present study is to pilot test the intervention and a study protocol in preparation for a future randomized controlled trial (RCT). Pilot testing the intervention and study procedures at an early stage is critical to identify potential pitfalls that need to be addressed before conducting a full-scale trial. Through investigating the study and intervention in preparatory phases we can refine the study protocol and intervention design in order to maximize the chances of a successful RCT. The research questions for this pilot study are: 1. Data collection procedure - What is the recruitment and retention rate of invited participants? Does the randomization algorithm function properly? 2. Engagement - How often do participants use the intervention? Do they find the application easy and engaging to use? 3. Acceptability - Do participants find the intervention overall satisfactory and perceive it as beneficial? Is the digital tool technically stable? 4. Measurement quality - What is the completion rate for questionnaire items? What is the within-person variability in the daily measures? ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
