Data from: Reducing work-related screen-time in healthcare workers during leisure time (REDUCE SCREEN) – A randomized controlled trial

Background: The ubiquitous availability of work-related applications on
personal devices makes healthcare workers prone to working during leisure
time. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that an intervention to reduce
work-related screen time during a weekend off reduces stress in healthcare
workers. Design: Pragmatic parallel design randomized controlled trial
between November 2021 and November 2023. Participants: Healthcare workers
using a smartphone with a work email application were eligible.
Intervention: Randomization was 1:1 to no treatment or a threefold
educational intervention to: 1) activate automated responses to emails
received, 2) reduce screen time, and 3) uninstall work applications from
personal devices.
