ABSTRACT

Leisure sickness, a cover story of parascientific journals, lacks a current distinguishing. Therefore, 15 European participants who experienced health complaints during time off work took part in semi-structured online interviews, which were evaluated via focused interview analysis. The interview focused on the type, duration, timing and intensity of complaints during time off. Respiratory tract complaints were the most frequent, followed by headaches and a general feeling of being unwell. Ear problems were also reported, unlike in previous reports. Problems seem to occur on the second, and especially the third, day of the holiday, with the intensity varying over around 3 days, and the symptoms usually lasting 2–3 days. We operationalize facets of leisure sickness including the number (at least 2 from a list of 10), timing (during the first 3 days of holiday), duration (maximum of 3 days) and intensity (2–4 days) of symptoms, to guide future research.

摘要

休闲病作为超科学期刊的封面故事，缺乏当前的区分度。因此，15 名在下班时间经历健康投诉的欧洲参与者参加了半结构化在线访谈，并通过重点访谈分析进行评估。访谈重点关注休假期间投诉的类型、持续时间、时间和强度。呼吸道疾病最常见，其次是头痛和全身不适。与之前的报告不同，还报告了耳朵问题。问题似乎出现在假期的第二天，尤其是第三天，强度在三天左右变化，症状通常持续2-3天。我们对休闲病的各个方面进行了操作，包括数量（10 个列表中至少有 2 个）、
