Hospital staff members have historically been known to work in an environment involving high emotional demands, time pressure, and workload. Furthermore, the pandemic has increased the strain experienced by health care professionals owing to the high number of people they need to manage and, on many occasions, the limited available resources with which they must carry out their functions. These psychosocial risks are not always well dealt with by the organization or the professionals themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to have tools to assess these psychosocial risks and to optimize the management of this demand from health care professionals. Digital health, and more specifically, mobile health (mHealth), is presented as a health care modality that can contribute greatly to respond to these unmet needs. Objective: We aimed to analyze whether mHealth tools can provide value for the study and management of psychosocial risks in health care professionals, and assess the requirements of these tools. Methods: A Delphi study was carried out to determine the opinions of experts on the relevance of using mHealth tools to evaluate physiological indicators and psychosocial factors in order to assess occupational health, and specifically, stress and burnout, in health care professionals. The study included 58 experts with knowledge and experience in occupational risk prevention, psychosocial work, and health-related technology, as well as health professionals from private and public sectors. Results: Our data suggested that there is still controversy about the roles that organizations play in occupational risk prevention in general and psychosocial risks in particular. An adequate assessment of the stress levels and psychosocial factors can help improve employees’ well-being. Moreover, making occupational health evaluations available to the team would positively affect employees by increasing their feelings of being taken into account by the organization. This assessment can be improved with mHealth tools that identify and quickly highlight the difficulties or problems that occur among staff and work teams. However, to achieve good adherence and participation in occupational health and safety evaluations, experts consider that it is essential to ensure the privacy of professionals and to develop feelings of being supported by their supervisors. Conclusions: For years, mHealth has been used mainly to propose intervention programs to improve occupational health. Our research highlights the usefulness of these tools for evaluating psychosocial risks in a preliminary and essential phase of approaches to improve the health and well-being of professionals in health care settings. The most urgent requirements these tools must meet are those aimed at protecting the confidentiality and privacy of measurements.This work has been carried out under the projects “mPRL: mHealth tool for prevention in psychosociology area” (reference: PII2019SC0009) and “Fipsipro: Mhealth en la Prevención de Riesgos Psicosociales” (reference: CTC-2022132186), both subsidized under Competitive Concurrence for Innovative Research Projects in the Field of Occupational Risk Prevention, corresponding to exercise 2019 of the Andalusian Institute of Occupational Risk Prevention of the Ministry of Employment, Training and Autonomous Work, as well as the project “SALPRO, Analysis of physiological indicators and psychosocial factors in occupational health of health professionals” (reference: PI-0098-2018), funded by the Consejería de Salud y Familia de la Junta de Andalucía Grant for the financing of Biomedical and Health Sciences R+D+i in Andalusia. We thank the project investigators and participating experts. We would especially like to thank Claudia Muñoz-Jiménez for her collaboration in elaborating the questionnaire sent to the experts and analyzing the results.Peer reviewedJMIR PublicationsJunta de AndalucíaConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202420242023info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/351771reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
