Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Workplace stress management interventions are crucial for employee well-being.
  • Process evaluation is essential for understanding intervention effectiveness.
  • Previous reviews have not focused specifically on process evaluation in these interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review workplace stress management intervention studies that included process evaluation.
  • To identify the extent and nature of process evaluation reporting in these studies.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of studies from electronic databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE).
  • Inclusion criteria: English language, workplace stress management interventions with outcome evaluation.
  • Coding of articles on process variables (context, recruitment, reach, dose delivered/received, fidelity, implementation, attitudes) and study characteristics.

Main Results:

  • 84 studies met inclusion criteria; 52 (61.9%) reported at least one process variable.
  • Most frequently reported variables: recruitment (30%), dose received (22%), attitudes (19%), reach (13%).
  • Less than half of studies linked process evaluation findings to outcome evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • Incomplete reporting of process evaluation data limits the identification of reliable determinants for effective intervention implementation.
  • Further research should emphasize comprehensive process evaluation alongside outcome evaluation.
  • Improved reporting is needed to enhance the understanding and application of workplace stress interventions.
