Predictive value of Heart Rate Variability measurements and the Brief Resilience Scale for workability and vitality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sustainable employability is increasingly important with current socio-economic challenges. Screening for resilience could contribute to early detection of either a risk, or a protector for sustainable employability, the latter being operationalized as workability and vitality.

Objective

To study the predictive value of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurements and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) for worker self-reported workability and vitality after 2-4 years.

Methods

Prospective observational cohort study with mean follow-up period of 38 months. 1,624 workers (18-65 years old) in moderate and large companies participated. Resilience was measured by HRV (one-minute paced deep breathing protocol) and the BRS at baseline. Workability Index (WAI), and the V
