Feasibility and preliminary effects of an individually customizable ecological momentary stress management intervention: A mixed methods pilot study.

ABSTRACT: While many interventions are known to reduce stress, evidence-based stress management interventions that can be applied during stressful events in everyday life are lacking. This pilot study investigated an ecological momentary intervention for everyday stress management, comprising eight modules (e.g., relaxation, music listening), in terms of its feasibility, its immediate effects following stressful events, and its pre- to post-intervention effects.
