Efficacy of the Holidaily Mobile App in Alleviating Work-Related Rumination Following Vacation: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Holidaily mobile app in reducing work-related rumination post-vacation, which is crucial for sustaining mental health.
Key Findings:
The intervention group reported significantly lower levels of work-related rumination post-vacation compared to controls (p < 0.001), indicating a strong effect.
Rumination levels in the intervention group were reduced by 22.2% compared to 6.9% in controls relative to baseline.
Reductions in rumination persisted for up to four weeks among app users (26.1%).
Interpretation:
The Holidaily app effectively extends the mental health benefits of vacations by reducing work-related rumination, suggesting its potential as a scalable digital intervention for mental health in workplace settings.
Limitations:
The study's generalizability may be limited due to the specific population sampled, particularly in terms of industry and job roles.
Further research is needed to explore long-term effects and applicability across diverse work environments.
Conclusion:
Holidaily demonstrates promise in mitigating the rapid fade-out of vacation benefits, supporting the use of digital interventions for sustainable mental health in the workforce, particularly in modern work environments.
