Blurred work-non-work boundaries can have negative effects on mental health, including sleep.
In a randomised control trial, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of an online recovery training programme designed to improve symptoms of insomnia in a working population exposed to blurred boundaries.
128 participants with severe insomnia symptoms (Insomnia Severity Index ≥15) and working under blurred work and non-work conditions (segmentation supplies <2.25) were randomly assigned to either the recovery intervention or a waitlist control group (WLC). The primary outcome was insomnia severity, assessed at baseline, after 2 months (T2) and 6 months (T3).
A greater reduction in insomnia was observed in the intervention compared with the WLC group at both T2 (=1.51; 95% CI=1.12 o 1.91) and T3 (=1.63; 95% CI=1.23 to 2.03]. This was shown by Bayesian analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), whereby the ANCOVA model yielded the highest Bayes factor ( =3.23×e] and a 99.99% probability. Likewise, frequentist analysis revealed significantly reduced insomnia at both T2 and T3. Beneficial effects were found for secondary outcomes including depression, work-related rumination, and mental detachment from work. Study attrition was 16% at T2 and 44% at T3.
The recovery training was effective in reducing insomnia symptoms, work related and general indicators of mental health in employees exposed to blurred boundaries, both at T2 and T3.
In addition to demonstrating the intervention's effectiveness, this study exemplifies the utilisation of the Bayesian approach in a clinical context and shows its potential to empower recipients of interventional research by offering insights into result probabilities, enabling them to draw informed conclusions.

工作与非工作边界模糊会对心理健康产生负面影响,包括睡眠。
在一项随机对照试验中,我们旨在评估一种旨在改善暴露于模糊边界下的工作人群失眠症状的在线恢复训练计划的有效性。
128 名严重失眠症状(失眠严重程度指数≥15)且工作环境模糊(分割供应<2.25)的参与者被随机分配到恢复干预组或等待名单对照组(WLC)。主要结局是在基线、2 个月(T2)和 6 个月(T3)时评估的失眠严重程度。
与 WLC 组相比,干预组在 T2(=1.51;95%CI=1.12-1.91)和 T3(=1.63;95%CI=1.23-2.03)时失眠症状的改善更为显著。这是通过协方差分析的贝叶斯分析(ANCOVA)显示的,其中 ANCOVA 模型产生了最高的贝叶斯因子(=3.23×e],概率为 99.99%。同样,在 T2 和 T3 时,频繁主义分析也显示出失眠明显减少。次要结局,包括抑郁、与工作相关的反刍思维和从工作中精神解脱,也有有益的效果。在 T2 时的研究脱落率为 16%,在 T3 时为 44%。
在暴露于模糊边界的员工中,恢复训练在减少失眠症状、工作相关和一般心理健康指标方面是有效的,无论是在 T2 还是 T3。
除了证明干预的有效性外,本研究还例证了贝叶斯方法在临床环境中的应用,并展示了其通过提供结果概率的见解,使干预研究的接受者能够做出明智的结论,从而赋予他们权力的潜力。
