Healthcare workers experienced reduced distress after a workshop. This intervention improved well-being by addressing practical, physical, and emotional discomforts, highlighting the workshop's effectiveness in supporting healthcare professionals.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health
- Psychology
- Healthcare Management
Context:
- Healthcare workers face high distress due to demanding work environments.
- Constant exposure to distress impacts healthcare professionals' well-being and performance.
- Emotional discomfort is a significant issue in the healthcare sector.
Purpose:
- To evaluate distress levels and identify causes of emotional discomfort in healthcare workers.
- To assess the impact of a sensitization workshop on healthcare worker well-being.
- To analyze changes in distress before and after an intervention.
Summary:
- A retrospective study analyzed 101 healthcare workers attending a "Mind, Body, and Emotions" workshop.
- Distress levels significantly decreased from 6.2 to 4.7 (p = 0.0002) after the intervention.
- Primary causes of discomfort were practical (90%), physical (88.1%), and emotional (86.1%) issues.
Impact:
