A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial evaluates the effectiveness of a character-strengths based coaching intervention aimed at reducing work-related stress among rural health workers in India. It involves a five-day residential workshop followed by 8- to 10-week remote telephonic coaching sessions. The study compares the outcomes of participants receiving this intervention alongside routine supervision to those receiving routine supervision alone. The primary outcome is measured through self-reported wellbeing scores using the Authentic Happiness Inventory at a three-month follow-up.
