“…The results showed that instrumental and mental stress management strategies, which tend to be designed for prevention, are implemented less often than regenerative stress management strategies, which tend to be used for calming down after exposure to stress [ 13 ]. Therefore, the increased implementation of instrumental and mental strategies should be considered for a holistic approach to stress management in SMAs that seem to be relevant for effective prevention and coping with stress [ 13 , 15 ].…”

“…Even though “stress management” is a widely and variably used term [ 17 ], Kaluza [ 13 ] proposed three categories of strategies: (1) instrumental stress management strategies with a focus on preventing and reducing stress in everyday life (eg, self-management or seeking support); (2) mental stress management strategies aiming at changing personal stress amplifiers (eg, acceptance or gratitude); and (3) regenerative stress management strategies aiming at recovery after stress exposure (eg, relaxation techniques or health behavior) [ 17 - 19 ]. Thereby, effective stress management seems to be characterized by a broad repertoire and a balance between instrumental, mental, and regenerative strategies [ 15 ]. Interventions use a variety of these different strategies and are often delivered in a group setting [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Background Chronic stress poses risks for physical and mental well-being. Stress management interventions have been shown to be effective, and stress management apps (SMAs) might help to transfer strategies into everyday life. Objective This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the quality and characteristics of SMAs to give potential users or health professionals a guideline when searching for SMAs in common app stores. Methods SMAs were identified with a systematic search in the European Google Play Store and Apple App Store. SMAs were screened and checked according to the inclusion criteria. General characteristics and quality were assessed by 2 independent raters using the German Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS-G). The MARS-G assesses quality (range 1 to 5) on the following four dimensions: (1) engagement, (2) functionality, (3) esthetics, and (4) information. In addition, the theory-based stress management strategies, evidence base, long-term availability, and common characteristics of the 5 top-rated SMAs were assessed and derived. Results Of 2044 identified apps, 121 SMAs were included. Frequently implemented strategies (also in the 5 top-rated SMAs) were psychoeducation, breathing, and mindfulness, as well as the use of monitoring and reminder functions. Of the 121 SMAs, 111 (91.7%) provided a privacy policy, but only 44 (36.4%) required an active confirmation of informed consent. Data sharing with third parties was disclosed in only 14.0% (17/121) of the SMAs. The average quality of the included apps was above the cutoff score of 3.5 (mean 3.59, SD 0.50). The MARS-G dimensions yielded values above this cutoff score (functionality: mean 4.14, SD 0.47; esthetics: mean 3.76, SD 0.73) and below this score (information: mean 3.42, SD 0.46; engagement: mean 3.05, SD 0.78). Most theory-based stress management strategies were regenerative stress management strategies. The evidence base for 9.1% (11/121) of the SMAs could be identified, indicating significant group differences in several variables (eg, stress or depressive symptoms) in favor of SMAs. Moreover, 38.0% (46/121) of the SMAs were no longer available after a 2-year period. Conclusions The moderate information quality, scarce evidence base, constraints in data privacy and security features, and high volatility of SMAs pose challenges for users, health professionals, and researchers. However, owing to the scalability of SMAs and the few but promising results regarding their effectiveness, they have a high potential to reach and help a broad audience. For a holistic stress management approach, SMAs could benefit from a broader repertoire of strategies, such as more instrumental and mental stress management strategies. The common characteristics of SMAs with top-rated quality can be used as guidance for potential users and health professionals, but owing to the high volatility of SMAs, enhanced evaluation frameworks are needed.

“…As Kaluza and Chevalier (2018) previously noted, the effectiveness of the implemented stress prevention, control, and coping strategies is subject to the individual's characteristics, timing, and the type of demand being managed. Additionally, it is emphasized that effective stress management is equally characterized by the availability and flexible use of the different techniques (Kaluza and Chevalier 2018). Reininger and Gorzka (2011) were able to show in their study that highly stressed police officers make use of various strategies as coping patterns (association or sequence of individual strategies) in order to cope with stress.…”

The service of specialized and special forces of the Federal Armed Forces and police is characterized by complex situations. Such personnel often face numerous difficulties and extreme danger and experience periods of high stress when fulfilling their tasks. In the context of social and technological changes, it is necessary to explore the individual components of stress management in further detail, i.e., stress prevention, stress control, and stress coping mechanisms, and furthermore to consider these elements in the fields of training and service. For this purpose, a stress management model was created based on participant observations, expert ratings, and problem-centered interviews with specialized members of military police and special police forces. The results of the validation can be interpreted as suggesting that effective stress management requires a diverse range of techniques and methods, including the use of digital means such as e-learning, digital reality, and eye tracking, in order to be able to address new demands appropriately.
