Tina Sundelin was awarded SEK 2,440,704 to study and determine how the timing of stressful activities at work affects sleep and recovery.
Data will be analyzed from a previous study in the field of social services, care and care in different municipalities and regions with a focus on differences during the day in relation to recovery and health. The aim of the project is to demonstrate how to better structure the workday to promote recovery and health.
The project group also includes Leonie Balter and Goran Kicklund.
Today we know very little about how the timing of high workload affects recovery. This is particularly important in social services and the care and care professions, where the pace is high and stress levels vary throughout the day. For example, do stressful work tasks in the morning or afternoon have a stronger association with how you sleep after work? Tina Sandlin says.
The project is one of nine within a new research program – Health factors – within municipalities, regions and municipal companies – From Afa Försäkring, which is now receiving funding.
