Filter by:The goal of this randomized control trial is to detect and prevent work-related psychological stress among European workers early on, aiming to mitigate its adverse health consequences, including burnout and depression. Soma Analytics has developed a smartphone-based system that comprises a diagnostic module utilizing smartphone sensors to collect and analyze stress biomarkers and an interventional module to reduce stress levels. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Hypothesis 1: Compared to the waitlist control, after using the app for 4 weeks, participants in the app group will report (a) lower levels of stress (cognitive and general), (b) higher levels of wellbeing, (c) higher levels of resilience, and (d) fewer sleeping troubles. - Hypothesis 2: The observed effects will be more intense the more the user interacts with the app throughout the duration of the study. Participants (employees from six organizations in three European countries) will use the app for 4 weeks. Their levels of stress, well-being, resilience, and sleeping troubles are assessed at baseline, after 2 weeks (mid-intervention), 4 weeks (end of intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up). Researchers will compare the intervention group with the waitlist control group to see if levels of stress, well-being, resilience, and sleeping troubles change over time.
As part of a Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF project (On-site multi-component intervention to improve productivity and reduce the economic and personal burden of neck pain in Swiss Office-Workers, NEXpro = Neck EXercises for productivity, SNSF no. 32003B_182389, BASEC no. 2019-01678), the investigators first developed a physiotherapeutic exercise intervention to improve the strength and mobility of the neck muscles. In the SNSF project NEXpro, the intervention took place on-site in the office. However, in view of the digital transformation, it is important to adapt the intervention delivery method to the new virtual work setting. The aims of the present project are therefore to implement, further develop and contextually adapt the exercise intervention in order to reduce musculoskeletal complaints and to reduce health-related presenteeism. The final product is a user-friendly virtual 6-week short exercise intervention that employees of the University of Bern can use independently, regardless of time and place. The effectiveness of the newly developed short exercise intervention (pain reduction, reduction of presenteeism) will be assessed during a short pilot phase.
This study is the first that investigates the impact of a multi-component intervention combining current evidence of effective interventions with an adherence app to assess the potential benefits on productivity, neck pain, and headache.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of two workplace interventions (the Riskbruk model and Balance) in reducing risky alcohol consumption, sickness absence and presenteeism. The purpose is to assess whether the Riskbruk model should be implemented in the Norwegian workforce in its entirety, whether the less extensive and costly alternative Balance is sufficient, or if neither one of them show effectiveness compared to usual care.
