| Popis: | Labor management based on global positioning systems (GPS) has become popular. To investigate the stress caused by GPS-labor management system, we studied its physical and psychophysiological impacts in nursing home workers. Despite that the use of GPS-labor management did not change physical activity it caused a reduction in heart rate and increases in parasympathetic indices of heart rate variability, which may be consistent with sustained alert response. |
