“…Researchers have sought to develop training programs to facilitate recovery from job stress and improve employees' recovery experiences and well-being (Hahn, Binnewies, Sonnentag, & Mojza, 2011). The present findings suggest that a mindfulness-based intervention might be a valuable addition to such training programs.…”

In this research, we examined the role of mindfulness for recovery from work using a daily diary design (N ϭ 121; 5 days; 3 measurement occasions per day). The first goal of the study was to investigate the relationship of mindfulness with sleep quality and the mediating role of psychological detachment from a day-level perspective. A second goal was to extend the process perspective in recovery research beyond the day level and consider systematic change trajectories in recovery variables over the course of the work week and the role of mindfulness in these trajectories. Results regarding day-level relationships confirmed that mindfulness experienced during work was related to subsequent sleep quality, and this relationship was mediated by psychological detachment from work in the evening. Furthermore, an investigation of the role of mindfulness in recovery change trajectories supported the idea that psychological detachment trajectories increase over the work week for individuals low on mindfulness while there was no systematic mean-level change for individuals high on mindfulness. In contrast, sleep quality followed a linear increase from Monday to Friday for all individuals, irrespective of their levels of trait mindfulness. Practical and theoretical implications for the mindfulness and the recovery literature are discussed in conclusion.

“…As they were at the highest risk of poor recovery, they also need measures to develop strategies to improve their recovery experiences to effectively recover from work stress during nonwork time. Occupational health services (available by law in Finnish organizations) may offer recovery-related training to learn recovery experiences and recovery-related self-efficacy (see Hahn, Binnewies, Sonnentag, & Mojza, 2011). In addition, HR management in organizations could organize group sessions discussing boundary management and recovery from the viewpoints of both individual employees and the organization.…”

The aim of the present study conducted among 1,106 Finnish employees was to identify boundary management profiles based on cross-role interruption behaviors from work to nonwork and from nonwork to work. Adopting a person-oriented approach through latent profile analysis, five profiles were identified: Work Guardians (21% of the employees), Nonwork Guardians (14%), Integrators (25%), Separators (18%) and an Intermediate Group (22%). We then examined differences between these profiles with respect to recovery experiences (psychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery experiences, and control during off-job time) and recovery outcomes (vigor and exhaustion). Work Guardians had the poorest situation in terms of recovery experiences and outcomes. Integrators came close to Work Guardians in their responses, but they showed better relaxation and control during off-job time. Nonwork Guardians and Separators had the most beneficial recovery experiences. The Intermediate Group scored near the average in all evaluations. Altogether the findings suggest that boundary management profiles play a significant role, especially regarding recovery experiences.

“…Third, as Querstret and Cropley (22) showed in a meta-analytic review, effective interventions exist for reducing rumination and worrying. An attempt was made to tailor such interventions to employees, and a training mainly focusing on psychological detachment from work was successfully investigated in a controlled but not randomized trial showing moderate effect sizes (23).…”

Log in and breathe out: internet-based recovery training for sleepless employees with work-related strain -results of a randomized controlled trial by Thiart H, Lehr D, Ebert DD, Berking M, Riper H The present study evaluates a newly developed, internet-based recovery training that considers the particular situation of employees experiencing both work stress and sleep problems. The results suggest that this low-threshold intervention could help a large number of employees overcome a deficient recovery from work. Original article Scand J Work Environ Health. 2015;41(2):164-174. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3478 Log in and breathe out: internet-based recovery training for sleepless employees with work-related strain -results of a randomized controlled trial Objectives The primary purpose of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the efficacy of a guided internet-based recovery training for employees who suffer from both work-related strain and sleep problems (GET.ON Recovery). The recovery training consisted of six lessons, employing well-established methods from cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) such as sleep restriction, stimulus control, and hygiene interventions as well as techniques targeted at reducing rumination and promoting recreational activities. AffiliationMethods In a two-arm RCT (N=128), the effects of GET.ON Recovery were compared to a waitlist-control condition (WLC) on the basis of intention-to-treat analyses. German teachers with clinical insomnia complaints (Insomnia Severity Index ≥15) and work-related rumination (Irritation Scale, cognitive irritation subscale ≥15) were included. The primary outcome measure was insomnia severity.Results Analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed that, compared to the WLC, insomnia severity of the intervention group decreased significantly stronger (F=74.11, P<0.001) with a d=1.45 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.06-1.84] The number needed to treat (NNT) was <2 for reliable change and NNT <4 for reduction in expert-rated diagnosis of primary insomnia. ConclusionThe training significantly reduces sleep problems and fosters mental detachment from work and recreational behavior among adult stressed employees at post-test and 6-months follow up. Given the low threshold access this training could reach out to a large group of stressed employees when results are replicated in other studies.
