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 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.
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.
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.
This is a quasi-experimental study that will examine whether mindfulness based stress reduction, adapted to an online learning management system, will reduce factors related to burnout in private practice licensed clinical social workers in New York State.
Yoga, a form of exercise designed to bring balance and health to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of the individual, will benefit many white-collar workers by using popular technological environments to increase overall physical activity and well-being. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of yoga exercises applied with two different technological access in white-collar employees on musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep quality, stress level, quality of life and work efficiency.
The Women Lift Safely! Intervention study aims to increase safe carrying behavior to reduce health risks of heavy lifting in a rural area of Nepal (i.e. reducing weight and using safe lifting techniques). The study's specific aims are to: 1) Test whether a psychological intervention that promotes self-efficacy can promote women's use of safe carrying behavior effectively compared to an information only control condition. (2) Test whether including a social partner in the intervention is more effective than an individual psychological intervention.
This pilot study will evaluate possible intervention components to be included in a future stress management and health behaviour change trial and to pilot test their feasibility and acceptability in a small sample.
The purpose of this study is to identify effective methodologies to help people improve their ability to adapt to psychological stress.
The investigators propose to implement a comprehensive Pediatrician Wellbeing Program initiated through and aligning with departmental faculty development and mentorship processes and goals. The Investigators hypothesize that a wellbeing intervention that incorporates an innovative health coaching model to cultivate individual behavior change supportive of one's own and others' wellbeing will lead to improvements in self-reported wellbeing.
