The effects of self-monitoring with wearables on stress, resilience, and well-being in police officers: a mixed design field experiment
other
The use of wearable technology to monitor fitness and health has seen a rapid increase among consumers in recent years. In occupational settings, there is a growing interest in applying this technology to promote health and well-being too, especially in professions with highly demanding working conditions such as first responders. Currently however, it is not clear to what extent selfmonitoring with wearables can positively influence resilience and well-being in real-life work contexts, and how wearable-based interventions for high-risk professionals should be designed. In this study, we therefore investigated the effects of a wearable-based intervention on awareness, self-efficacy and wellbeing related outcomes in police officers. In addition, we compared a relatively straightforward implementation (wearable condition; mere use of a wearable and app) with a more enriched implementation (wearable+ condition; featuring personalization and peer intervision).
