The Use of a Mobile Application to Reduce Work-related Stress Symptoms Among Healthcare Workers

The mobile application has two main functionalities. First, it will remind the user to report in regular time periods on their mental health status (e.g., sleep disturbances, stress). The assessment is done daily for four weeks. Second, some completed assessments will be combined with a behavioral prompt i.e. short message encouraging the user to engage in one of the strategies that can help coping with stress at work, e.g. remember to take short breaks, exercise in daylight, summarize a day with a colleague after a finished shift.
