Abstract

Aim : To obtain a first insight into the prevalence, phenomenology, and background of “leisure sickness”, i.e., the condition that people develop symptoms of sickness during the weekends and/or during vacations.

Method : In order to obtain an estimate of its prevalence, a representative Dutch sample, consisting of 1128 men and 765 women, was asked to indicate to what extent they recognized themselves in our description of weekend and vacation sickness. For the investigation of the phenomenology and background of this condition and the characteristics of the patients suffering from it, questionnaire data were collected in new samples consisting of 114 cases and 56 controls. Questions referred to the symptoms, onset, duration, appreciation of weekend and vacation activities, and appraisal of work and workload.
