Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR)

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months

    Self-reported Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR) is a 16-item questionnaire that rates depression symptoms over the past seven days on an individual question scale of 0 to 3. Total scores range from 0 to 27 with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms.

  2. Change in LASA Quality of Life Scale

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months

    Linear Analogue Self-Assessment (LASA) 6-item questionnaire that assess feelings during the past week on an individual question scale of 0 to 10; 0 = as bad as it can be, 10 = as good as it can be. Total scores range 6-60 with higher scores indicating better perception of quality of life.

  3. Sense of belonging

    Time frame: Baseline

    Measured using a 2- item self-reported questionnaire on sense of belonging to the nursing unit and hospital on an individual question scale of 0 to 4; 0=no opinion, 4=very strong. Total scores range from 0 to 8 with higher score indicating a greater sense of belonging.

    Measures by smartwatch that is worn daily by the subject reported in hours of sleep

  6. Daily heart rate

    Time frame: 12 months

    Measured by smartwatch that is worn daily by the subject reported in beats per minute

  7. Daily physical activity

    Time frame: 12 months

    Measured by smartwatch that is worn daily by the subject reported in time spent in activity (minutes)
