Area of Science:

Occupational Medicine
Psychology
Physiology

Background:

Long-term stress significantly impacts employee well-being and productivity.
Developing effective, multi-disciplinary interventions is crucial for managing occupational stress.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary stress management program for employees experiencing long-term stress.
To assess the program's impact on employment, stress and depression symptoms, and physiological markers.

Main Methods:

A two-year study involving 66 employees in a stress management program and 24 controls.
Intervention included symptom evaluation, consultations, relaxation, exercise, and workplace adjustments.
Assessed employment, stress/depression symptoms, salivary cortisol, and physiological markers (e.g., maximal oxygen uptake, fibrinogen).
