Tool-Box- Standardized Tool-Box for the assessment of the stress-physiological consequences of digitalization for medical practitioners

A valid assessment of digitization-associated stress appears to be crucial for the successful and health-promoting design of digitization processes in the healthcare sector. The present Tool-Box aims to contribute to this goal by providing an overview of central methods for assessing stress and associated constructs in the context of digitization processes, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The methods included in the Tool-Box were selected based on an extensive review of existing literature on assessment of stress and associated constructs in the context of digitalization processes and beyond. In addition, we conducted expert interviews and pilot studies for the final selection and shaping of the Tool-Box.The target groups of our Tool-Box are researchers as well as all individuals which are involved in the design and implementation of digital innovations within the health care sector: monitoring digitalization-associated stress throughout the entire implementation process with methodologically sound tools might be one of the key factors for successful digital transformations.
