Abstract:Background/Aim: Healthcare professionals are likely to be exposed to additional burdens in the future due to various factors, such as demographic change and the growing risk of pandemics. This underscores the importance of digital solutions for safeguarding mental health in healthcare professionals, as they offer the possibility of flexible and resource-saving deployment. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the extent to which a mPPI-App (TiP-app) was used and appreciated by healthcare professionals and whether there is a change in well-being, self-compassion, job satisfaction and intention to leave job after use of the app. Methods: A one group pretest posttest design was used, in which 29 (15 drop-outs) healthcare professionals used the TiP-app for 3 weeks. Participants completed questionnaires on use, satisfaction (CSQ-8 adapted for TiP), appreciation, well-being (MHC-SF), self-compassion (SCS-SF), job satisfaction and intention to leave job. Results: The results imply a moderate satisfaction with the TiP-app (CSQ-8: M = 18.6, SD = 3.9). There was a significant increase in self-compassion after use of the app (T1) (M = 4.59 , SD = .4) compared to before use of the app (T0) (M = 3.48 , SD= .83), t(14) = 4.74, p < .001. There were no significant differences for the variables well-being: T1(M = 49.4 , SD = 7.58); T0(M = 46.4 , SD = 7.58) job satisfaction: T1(M = 4.8 , SD = 1.01); T0(M = 4.2 , SD = 1.52) intention to leave job: T1(M = 2 , SD = 1.36); T0(M = 2 , SD = 1.13). Conclusion: The significant increase of self-compassion in this pilot study gives hope that a mPPI-App can contribute to the mental health of healthcare professionals. Further research on the effectiveness should be conducted in the form of RCT in the future. Since the sample in this study had little room for improvement for the variables well-being, job satisfaction, and intention to leave job. In subsequent studies, attention should be paid to a lower (well-being, job satisfaction) or high (intention to leave job) entry score in the sample.
