  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Construction Management

Background:

  • Construction workers experience significant stress, impacting project completion.
  • A need for effective stress management interventions in this sector is evident.
  • Skilled construction workers in Nigeria face unique occupational stressors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of group rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on stress.
  • To assess REBT's effect on work-related irrational beliefs among construction workers.
  • To determine the efficacy of group REBT for stress management in the Nigerian construction industry.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized controlled trial with 160 skilled construction workers.
  • Intervention group (n=80) received group REBT; control group (n=80) did not.
  • Perceived Stress Scale-14 and irrational beliefs questionnaire used for data collection.
  • Repeated measures within-between subjects ANOVA for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Group REBT significantly reduced perceived stress scores.
  • The intervention also led to a significant decrease in work-related irrational beliefs.
  • These improvements in stress and beliefs were maintained at follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Group REBT is a significant intervention for reducing stress in construction workers.
  • REBT effectively addresses work-related irrational beliefs contributing to stress.
  • The findings support the use of group REBT for occupational stress management in construction.
