A longitudinal pilot study on stress-levels in the crowdsensing mHealth platform TrackYourStress
(2019)
Background: The mobile phone app, TrackYourStress (TYS), is a new crowdsensing mobile health platform for ecological momentary assessments of perceived stress levels.
Objective: In this pilot study, we aimed to investigate the time trend of stress levels while using TYS for the entire population being studied and whether the individuals’ perceived stress reactivity moderates stress level changes while using TYS.
Methods: Using TYS, stress levels were measured repeatedly with the 4-item version of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4), and perceived stress reactivity was measured once with the Perceived Stress Reactivity Scale (PSRS). A total of 78 nonclinical participants, who provided 1 PSRS assessment and at least 4 repeated PSS-4 measurements, were included in this pilot study. Linear multilevel models were used to analyze the time trend of stress levels and interactions with perceived stress reactivity.
Results: Across the whole sample, stress levels did not change while using TYS (P=.83). Except for one subscale of the PSRS, interindividual differences in perceived stress reactivity did not influence the trajectories of stress levels. However, participants with higher scores on the PSRS subscale reactivity to failure showed a stronger increase of stress levels while using TYS than participants with lower scores (P=.04).
Conclusions: TYS tracks the stress levels in daily life, and most of the results showed that stress levels do not change while using TYS. Controlled trials are necessary to evaluate whether it is specifically TYS or any other influence that worsens the stress levels of participants with higher reactivity to failure.
Following Michael Lipsky's well‐known argument that policy is made in the daily encounters between street‐level bureaucracy and citizens, a growing body of research emphasizes that actors and organizations delivering social and labor‐market policy play a crucial role in welfare‐state politics. Using qualitative data collected at three local employment agencies in Germany, this article explores worker‐client relations as a crucial mechanism through which activation policies are translated into practice. The analysis investigates how caseworkers define their role and their relationships with clients. The findings show that it is essential for caseworkers to achieve client compliance. In such a context, building relationships of trust is a strategic instrument in overcoming possible barriers to co‐operation in the caseworker‐client interaction. Caseworkers develop strategies to create the impression of trustworthiness and to motivate both unemployed clients and employers to become trust‐givers in the caseworker‐client relation. While research has often stressed the dichotomy between disciplining and enabling elements of activation policies, our explorative study shows that persuasion and trust‐building are a further important dimension of the frontline delivery of activation policies. These strategies reflect the importance of emotional aspects of frontline work.
Jeder zweite notärztlich versorgte Patient ist heute über 65 Jahre alt, viele davon Hochrisikopatienten. Ob eine Notfallbehandlung erfolgreich ist, hängt maßgeblich davon ab wie schnell eine sichere Diagnose gestellt und die Therapie begonnen werden kann. Informationsdefizite gefährden dabei die Patientensicherheit erheblich. Die Geriatric Emergency Department Guideline nennt klinisch relevante Informationen, die beim geriatrischen Patienten vorliegen sollten. Eine standardisierte Kommunikation an der Schnittstelle zwischen Notfall- und Primärversorgung würde die Patientensicherheit erhöhen. Der Informationsaustausch zwischen den Sektoren sollte mit Blick auf die zunehmende Digitalisierung elektronisch erfolgen.
Die Integration von Pflegeexperten auf Masterniveau stellt in Deutschland bislang noch eine Ausnahme da. Bedingt durch die aktuellen Herausforderungen im Gesundheitssystem startete das Universitätsklinikum Regensburg ein Projekt, bei dem bestehende Versorgungslücken durch die Umsetzung von Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) geschlossen werden. Der Beitrag beschreibt die Rollenentwicklung eines Pflegeexperten für den Bereich des Critical Care (Pflegeexperte APN-CC) angelehnt am PEPPA-Framework, einem theoretischen Rahmen zur ANP Rollenentwicklung, -Implementierung und -Evaluation.
