What this trial studies
Participants complete a baseline visit and then attend eight weekly two-hour group sessions covering mindfulness, nutrition, exercise, relaxation techniques, stressor management, communication, and social support. The main outcome is change in perceived stress measured with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) at the end of the program and again three months after baseline. The intervention is delivered in-person at the Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus and is open to the hospital community who can give informed consent and speak German. Those with medical or mental conditions that would prevent safe participation or who are enrolled in similar behavioral studies are excluded.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are employees, patients, or family members of the Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus and Bosch Health Campus who report subjective stress, can consent, and have sufficient German language skills to participate.
Not a fit: People with physical or mental conditions that prevent participation, those who cannot speak German, or those already in other behavioral or complementary-intervention studies are unlikely to benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could lower perceived stress and improve coping and day-to-day wellbeing for participants.
How similar studies have performed: Previous mindfulness- and lifestyle-based programs have shown reductions in perceived stress in multiple trials, so this approach builds on existing evidence rather than being entirely novel.
