Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomized intervention study to promote work recovery and work ability among micro-entrepreneurs. The main aim is to investigate if the use of Recovery! -application results in better work recovery and work ability than no treatment for micro-entrepreneurs.

The plan of action of the study merges: 1) the contents that are based on the needs of the target population and evidence from research on work related and health behaviour enhancing work recovery, 2) theoretical framework for the counselling, 3) counselling methods including behaviour change techniques, and 4) tailoring the content and counselling according to trans theoretical change model and physical work demands. The intervention is delivered through native mobile application designed by using the abovementioned methodology.

Data are collected by repeated internet-based questionnaires (at baseline, 2 and 6 months from the beginning of the intervention) and from the use of mobile application. Furthermore, randomly selected persons in two groups (20-30 persons in each) are interviewed. Process evaluation is conducted to detect the mechanisms of change and to study why the program succeeded or failed.
