Area of Science:

Gerontology
Occupational Health
Complementary Medicine

Background:

Older nurses face significant physical and mental health challenges.
Workplace wellness programs are crucial for healthcare professionals.
Tai Chi offers potential benefits for physical and mental well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the feasibility of a Tai Chi workplace wellness program.
To evaluate its cost-effectiveness in improving health and productivity.
To reduce work-related stress among older nurses.

Main Methods:

A randomized control trial was conducted with 11 female nurses (mean age 54.4 years).
The intervention group attended weekly Tai Chi classes and practiced daily for 15 weeks.
The control group received no intervention.

Main Results:

The Tai Chi group had zero unscheduled time off, compared to 49 hours for the control group.
A 3% increase in work productivity and significant improvement in functional reach were observed in the Tai Chi group.
While other outcomes were not statistically significant, the results suggest positive trends.

Conclusions:

Tai Chi is a feasible and potentially cost-effective workplace wellness option for older female workers.
The study supports the replication of this intervention with larger sample sizes.
Methodological considerations for future research were identified.
