Filter by:Nurses often experience elevated levels of stress, overwork, and trauma in the workplace, leading to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, burnout, and even nurse turnover. While effective therapies for PTSD exist, barriers to treatment arise from nursing culture, such as workplace stigma about mental health problems, fear that psychological status may impact performance evaluations, and demands of shiftwork. There is a pressing need for scalable evidence-based interventions tailored to nursing culture to effectively address PTSD and related mental health issues. The study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of a tailored evidence-based treatment, Written Exposure Therapy (WET), for nurses experiencing work-related traumatic stress. This single-arm open pilot study with pre- and post-intervention assessments, included participants from two nursing schools' alumni. Eligibility criteria included nurses screening positive for work-related trauma with a report of at least two PTSD symptoms. Participants engaged in a self-administered, asynchronous, five-week online writing session, facilitated by WET-trained nurses. Outcomes measures (PTSD, depression, anxiety, burnout, and intention to quit) were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and 5-weeks follow-up.
The ADAPTAWORK_2 study is a follow-up to the first qualitative study, to evaluate the feelings of hospital workers in all occupations about teleworking. This involves measuring the variation between three periods: before the COVID-19 pandemic, during the first lockdown an after the pandemic. Secondary objectives were: 1) to evaluate wich factors were associated to the feelings towards teleworking, 2) to assess musculo-squeletal disorders among teleworkers and the other participants, 3) to assess psycho-social risks among teleworkers and the oher participants, and 4) to evaluate teleworking costs
Is virtual reality a useful and usable tool to improve the psychological well-being of PPC operators? study primary obtv: assessment of occupational psychological well-being (divided into stress, depression, anxiety and risk of burnout) in the population of health professionals working in pediatric palliative care; verify if the virtual reality tool leads to an improvement change at the level of the investigated items (feasibility study). The treatment will have a duration of 4 weeks, with the execution of two sessions per week with the use of a viewer positioned on the head that allows users to navigate and interact in real time with a three-dimensional (3D) environment At time zero (T0), the participants will be administered, shortly before the application of virtual reality, the Mini-Z survey 2.0 questionnaires (the single item burnout question), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21 (DASS-21), and a demographic questionnaire (gender, age, profession, shift work, years of work in PPCs). At the end of the compilation, two vision treatments will follow, which will take place three to four days apart. At time T1 (second week) and time T2 (third week) the DASS-21 will initially be administered followed by two weekly treatments with a visor. At the end (T3) the compilation of both tests (Mini-Z survey 2.0-the single item burnout question and the DASS-21) will be repeated following the last two applications of the viewer.
The objective of the trial is to pilot test the study protocol of a preventive, low-intensive mobile health (mHealth) intervention for work-related stress among nursing students. Work stress is a wide-spread problem affecting individual health as well as incurring substantial societal costs. mHealth solutions are among the most promising options for providing effective, scalable, and standardized interventions to employees.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate stress biomarkers, subjective stress levels, and cognitive function in medical students. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does regular osteopathic manipulative treatment affect stress in medical students? Does regular osteopathic manipulative treatment affect cognitive function in medical students? Participants will be split into two groups, control and treatment, and undergo a designated protocol for six weeks. The treatment protocol will include weekly sessions of three OMT techniques: paraspinal inhibition, rib raising, and condylar decompression. Concurrently, participants' salivary cortisol levels will be collected weekly and analyzed using an Invitrogen ELISA Immunoassay Kit. Additionally, cognitive function will be assessed weekly via Lumosity, while stress levels are gauged using the College Student Stress Scale (CSSS) survey. Researchers will compare one cohort of medical students who receive weekly OMT and another cohort of medical students who have weekly check-ins without OMT to see if OMT can affect changes in stress biomarkers, subjective stress scales, and cognitive function.
The aim of the study, which was planned in the experimental design type, was to determine the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction training on nurses' job stress. The sample of the study consisted of 70 nurses (35 in the experimental group, 35 in the control group) working in a university hospital in Çanakkale. The mindfulness-based stress reduction training was carried out as a group, once a week, for 8 weeks in total.
This study will focus on the relationship between pillow and mattress factors, musculoskeletal disorders and sleep quality in office workers. Sleep is vital to physical and mental health, and poor sleep can negatively affect cognitive function and workplace performance. Office workers, who often work in sedentary jobs, are particularly prone to sleep disorders. Recognizing the factors that contribute to poor sleep in this population is crucial for developing interventions to improve sleep quality. The study used a cross-sectional design and will collect data from an appropriate sample of office workers (Approximately 600 participants). Various variables will be assessed, including sociodemographic characteristics, sleep-related factors (to be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), pillow characteristics, mattress-related factors, musculoskeletal symptoms, and physical activity levels (to be measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis will be performed to analyze the data and identify factors affecting sleep quality. Fixed fixes for potential confounders and modifiers. The study aims to identify specific components of the sleep environment related to sleep disorders. The findings of this study will contribute to the understanding of how pillow and mattress factors, along with other variables, affect sleep quality in office workers. The results may provide information for interventions aimed at improving sleep habits, optimizing the sleep environment, and improving overall well-being in this population. As a result, promoting good sleep health among office workers can have positive effects on productivity, safety and overall quality of life.
Job stress and burnout are significant problems affecting physical health, emotional well-being, job performance, and retention of nurses. Enhanced Stress Resilience Training (ESRT) is a theory-driven, evidence-based intervention to increase stress resilience and decrease burnout among clinicians. This study is a randomized waitlist-controlled trial to examine the efficacy, feasibility, and long-term sustainability of the 5-week ESRT intervention to improve psychosocial and occupational well-being of critical care nurses.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore possible benefits and mechanisms through which the Somatic Psychoeducational Intervention can improve health and wellness in health care providers (HCP). The main goals of the study are: - To understand how the participants are doing with regard to their mindfulness, coping behaviors, emotional, physical, and work health, and autonomic reactivity (the degree participants physiologically respond). - To investigate whether pre-intervention measures relate to the overall functioning of the HCPs. - To determine the 1-week and 1-month post-intervention effects of the Intervention(s) - To identify individual characteristics that influence the effectiveness of the intervention at the 1-week and 1-month post-intervention assessments. Participants will: - complete the online pre-assessment measures regarding how they are doing emotionally and with respect to their work situation. - complete pre-intervention, 1-week post-intervention, and 1-month post-intervention assessments that involve completion of online measures and collection of saliva samples. - participated in the intervention (which involves 4.5 hours; the 1.5-hour classes will be administered over three weeks). Researchers will compare the Intervention Group A to Intervention Groub B to see if the Intervention Group B experiences greater improvements in their health and wellness.
Occupational stress is one of the leading work-related factors that influence the health of employees and their ability to work. Stress at work is unavoidable due to changing and increasing demands and types of work. The teaching profession is one of the most stressful jobs with a high level of psychological morbidity globally. Stress may occur together with common mental disorders, which are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. However, very little is known about the occurrence of occupational stress among schoolteachers. Several interventions have been designed to help school teachers to cope with stress. However, lifestyle modification intervention is not well explored, therefore, this study aims to evaluate the impact of lifestyle modification intervention on occupational stress management among community-level schoolteachers. Through effective intervention tools, workplace health can be enhanced, and the well-being of schoolteachers could be maintained.
