To date, the understanding of how recovery from work relates to cortisol output is poor. Considering this, the present study set out to investigate the associations between self-ratings of 15 items of rest and recovery and salivary cortisol sampled every second hour across two working days. Data came from 12 female and 13 male white-collar workers and were analyzed by linear regression analyses and repeated measures ANOVA. Poor rest and recovery was associated with high levels of morning cortisol, with the strongest relationships emerging for "rested in the morning", "rested after a weekend", "feel energetic during the working day", "tired during the working day", "sufficient sleep" and "worry about something". Moreover, significant interaction effects emerged between sex and "rested after a weekend" and "worry about something". To conclude, the findings show that self-ratings of rest and recovery are related to cortisol, particularly to morning cortisol, and that self-ratings provide important information on physiological recovery in terms of cortisol output.
迄今为止，对于从工作中恢复与皮质醇分泌之间的关系了解甚少。考虑到这一点，本研究旨在调查在两个工作日内每隔两小时采集的唾液皮质醇与15项休息和恢复自评项目之间的关联。数据来自12名女性和13名男性白领员工，并通过线性回归分析和重复测量方差分析进行分析。休息和恢复不佳与早晨皮质醇水平较高有关，其中“早晨休息好”、“周末后休息好”、“工作日精力充沛”、“工作日感到疲倦”、“睡眠充足”和“担心某事”的相关性最强。此外，性别与“周末后休息好”和“担心某事”之间出现了显著的交互作用。总之，研究结果表明，休息和恢复的自评与皮质醇有关，尤其是与早晨皮质醇有关，并且自评在皮质醇分泌方面提供了有关生理恢复的重要信息。
