This study investigates the effectiveness of hospital-based sophrology and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) for healthcare professionals experiencing workplace stress. The intervention aims to improve mental, physical, and social health, with results tracked via physiological and psychological measures.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health
- Psychosomatic Medicine
- Mind-Body Therapies
Background:
- Workplace stress and psychosocial risks pose significant public health challenges.
- Sophrology and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) are recognized for their benefits to mental, physical, and social health.
- These beneficial approaches have not been implemented in hospitals for at-risk healthcare professionals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To demonstrate the effectiveness of a hospital-based sophrology/NLP intervention for healthcare professionals at risk of stress-related disorders.
- To assess the intervention's impact on mental, physical, and social health, and the persistence of effects.
- To explore correlations between job perception, personality, and health outcomes, as well as intervention success factors and stress biomarkers.
Main Methods:
- A randomized controlled prospective study involving healthcare workers (HCW) and non-healthcare workers (NHCW).
- Participants receive 6-8 sophrology/NLP sessions within a hospital setting.
- Biometric data (heart rate variability, skin conductance, saliva biomarkers) and questionnaire data are collected throughout the 7-month protocol.
Main Results:
- This section is to be filled once the study is concluded and results are available.
Conclusions:
- This section is to be filled once the study is concluded and results are available.
