Holistic approaches to improve healthcare workers’ well-being at work

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This randomized trial compares three interventions to usual care among healthcare professionals: Caring Massage®, a Serenity room, and a combination of both. Participants receive two sessions per week for one month and complete surveys at baseline, day 15, day 30, and 30 days after the intervention ends to measure organizational well-being, stress, workload, burnout, commitment, and job satisfaction. The study aims to see if the interventions provide greater improvements than no additional intervention and whether any benefits persist after the program ends. The setting is the University Hospital of Rome Tor Vergata, with nurses, physicians, and healthcare technicians eligible if they have at least six months of experience and no contraindicating conditions for the massage oil. The trial will also explore whether the combined approach yields greater benefits than either intervention alone.
