Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome with regard to effectiveness will be the change in self-rated depressive symptoms between T1 and T2 (online questionnaire (baseline, 6 month, 12 month). Depression will be measured by the short version of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4), 4 items Irritation (subscale cognitive irritation), 3 items Psychological Safety Climate (PSC-4), 4 items Work demands and support (COPSOQ), 7 items Sickness absence and productivity (Tic-P), 6 items User experience, 11 items Process outcomes: Readiness for change, 3 items Adoption/Reach: The proportion of MSE who adopted “System P” will be calculated by dividing the number of registered MSE at T1 by the number of invited MSE during recruitment (R1). Appropriateness: To gain further information on appropriateness (perceived fit for the setting), we will conduct semi-structured personal interviews with employers of MSE that are registered with inter-corporate stakeholders who are unable contact their members via email newsletters at R1 as described above. Fidelity: To measure fidelity, we analyze usage data collected directly via “System P”. We will track data on the times of login, number of steps completed in the web-based tool for PRA and the number of completed sessions in the web-based training. Additionally, we will ask the participants about their use of the interventions in the online questionnaires at T2 and T3 (e.g. “How much time have you spent on average for the training?”). Costs: The direct costs of the implementation in “System P” are none because participating organizations will not be charged for the use of the web-based platform during the study. Indirect costs will be calculated by multiplying the time spent on the platform by the average hourly salary. The hours spent logged in to the web-based platform will be tracked for employers, employee and e-coaches. Feasibility & Sustainability: Feasibility and sustainability will be assessed by means of focus groups with a subsample of the participating MSE. All employers registered at T1 will receive an invitation to take part in the discussion about stress prevention and will be asked to describe their experience with “System P”. | — |
