The effects of counseling via a smartphone application on microentrepreneurs’ work ability and work recovery: a study protocol

Abstract

Health concerns following such challenges include cardiovascular diseases [4, 5], coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes [6, 7]. [...]the promotion of work ability highlights the importance of recovery from work [8]. Cross-sectional studies have found good planning and control over work; flexibility at work; good social support from family, friends and other entrepreneurs; and regular exercise to be associated with maintaining entrepreneurs’ good health [11]. According to the SDT, an individual’s motivation is divided into amotivation, controlled motivation and autonomous or self-determined motivation. [...]systematic reviews [20, 25, 32] also offer inconsistent results in comparison to each other, which illustrates the importance of understanding not only what is done but also how the techniques are put into practice Secondly, some behavior change techniques have been utilized in previous interventions so infrequently that there is insufficient data to conduct meta-analysis and establish the bottom line regarding effectiveness [20, 30, 33].
