Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Occupational Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Workplace stress is a significant issue impacting employee well-being and organizational productivity.
  • Stress management training (SMT) is a common intervention to mitigate these effects.
  • The efficacy of SMT facilitators, specifically clinical psychologists versus paraprofessionals, requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a stress management training program.
  • To compare the efficacy of SMT delivered by clinical psychologists versus paraprofessionals.
  • To assess the short-term and long-term impact of SMT on participants.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized controlled trial design.
  • Participants assigned to two stress management training (SMT) conditions or an assessment-only control group.

  • SMT groups were led by either external clinical psychologists or internal organizational paraprofessionals.

    • Main Results:

    • The SMT program demonstrated favorable effects on stress reduction in both the short term and at a 6-month follow-up.
    • No significant differences in effectiveness were observed between the SMT groups led by clinical psychologists and paraprofessionals.
    • Both training modalities proved beneficial for participants.

    Conclusions:

    • Stress management training is an effective intervention for reducing stress.
    • The delivery of SMT does not exclusively require clinical psychologists; paraprofessionals can also effectively facilitate the program.
    • Organizational paraprofessionals are a viable resource for delivering SMT, potentially increasing accessibility and scalability.
