Research project proposal – Stress Management 2.0

The interdisciplinary research group at DSV working with stress management and e-health communities has submitted a research project proposal to FAS – Forskningsrådet för arbetsliv och socialvetenskap/ Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research – in February this year. The project aims at developing a web based platform that will help working people with stress-related symptoms to increase their well-being and to be empowered at work. The platform applies characteristics of web 2.0, and it uses a holistic approach to combine information, counsel activities and self-help peer communities online. Participants with stress-related issues and health experts will use the platform to share experiences and knowledge and to develop good practices together through communication online. The project will apply results of modern research in the areas of stress and stress management, coping, web based interventions and e-health communities.
